Truth and Mainstream: Howard Dean

[Douglas Carpenter]

Here is an excellent article by scottforamerica on the Daily Kos-link:

snip:

"In the past 3 years he has been prone to what Republicans call "gaffes." He once said that a gaffe is when you tell the truth and somebody in Washington thinks you shouldn't have.

For all of these supposed "gaffes" not one of them has been proven wrong. Every time, his opponents have argued whether he should have said it, and challenged his tact, even his patriotism. Not only that, but upon a REAL examination of Dean's opinions, they unarguably lie in the mainstream.

After the capture of Saddam Hussein, Dean argued that while his capture is a good thing and makes the world safer, it does NOT make the United States safer. This June 2005 article shows a majority of Americans now think that we are NOT safer for having removed Saddam and the war in Iraq. < Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/07/AR2005060700296.html > These numbers have only risen since then."

2. I've said this about Howard since the very beginning!

He most often says what others are thinking but unwilling to say aloud. The Pubs, and even some Dems chastize him for what he says, but weeks, or months leter, the facts prove Dean to have been correct!

3. that is the problem -- he "accidentally" tells the truth

and the media calls that crazy. Then others purposely lie that is being responsible and bipartisan

"Then others purposely lie that is being responsible and bipartisan "

Telling lies is very bipartisan.
