This is why dean will not win
From the dean blog for america:

KERRY MUST BE STOPPED!!!

Click on my name for a good Kerry flyer explaining why he is unelectable. If you distribute this flyer, DO NOT do it as a Dean supporter, do it as a "concerned Democrat". Take off all of your Dean buttons and such!!!

A VOTE FOR KERRY IS A VOTE FOR BUSH

Posted by Bill from UW Madison

*****************

There is no such thing as a dean dirty trick...right? "DO NOT do it as a Dean supporter, do it as a "concerned Democrat".....in other words "LIE" to the people

1. while I'm not a Dean or Kerry supporter...
I agree that this is low. However, the same tactics have been used against Dean quite frequentely as well. Not to mention this isn't coming from Dean himself, just an overzealous supporter.

3. Substitute "Dean" for "Kerry" in all of that
And you would have what was making the rounds of the internet several months ago.

4. The person that created this is a disgusting individual.
Why they think it's OK to trash candidates beyond the point of viability is a mystery to me. But I can tell you this, these selfish individuals have no interest in getting rid of Bush. They are only interested in getting Dean selected. If it's not Dean, then Bush will be fine. :puke:

And BTW, before you start telling me Dean was trashed by the media. Dean is the one who flipped out in Iowa and is now losing the election. No one made him do that.

5. C'mon. This is one voice. Not representative.
Do you know how many people participate in Dean's blog? Do you think it is possible that they are all saints? If so, there's this bridge...

7. Umm.. that's from a private party.. NOT the Dean Campaign.
That's like taking some of the nimrods on DU as speaking for Kerry. I know it's difficult to tell the difference between "Bill from UW Madison" and Howard Dean.. but it'll come to you eventually. And.. this guys post is probably a rouse anyway. An anti-Dean repuke type who is trying to make Dean look bad.

Just as I don't take anything posted by any candidate's supporter as speaking for the candidate they support, you shouldn't either. It's a public blog.

8. Hello! anyone can post on that blog, even you
But I guess Bill from UW Madison is just Dean's alter ego?

Dean doesn't support that kind of bullshit any more than Kerry supported his campaign volunteer who made hostile phone calls to Dean's campaign staff.:crazy:

10. also note the bottom of the flier:
This flyer was not authorized by any candidate’s committee. It is paid for and produced entirely by grassroots volunteers and activists who are concerned about the future of the Democratic Party.

Dean is hardly to blame for this.

11. Suck it up and deal with it.... that's politics....
or at least, that's what people keep telling us Dean supporters everytime someone posts about tricks like this being used against us.

Thanks for the info. I'll pass it on.

As for the flyer, it's pretty junior league stuff.

16. I figure its because he won't have very many delegates
and is viewed as even less electable than Kerry.
