Reply #23: Starts off with a false premise: [View All]

people oppose Howard Dean because 'he's too liberal to win.' Wrong! I oppose Howard Dean because he is dishonest, has a campaign built on false rhetoric, and above all, will lose every single Southern state without a fight in a general election. I don't care if he's 'liberal;' in fact, he isn't liberal enough as far as I'm concerned. It's his overall electability that concerns me.

Of course, in her little Dean puff piece, Ms. Baker presents no evidence that Dean is electable -- he isn't really a liberal, therefore he is electable: that is the extent of her logic.

The 'fire in the belly' stuff is laughable, as it also rests on false or debateable premises: Clark ran 'because his friends want him to run;' and only one candidate (and guess who that might be?????) has 'fire in the belly,' although this assertion is totally unsupported with evidence.

Why do people dislike Deanites? Because of illogical, hyped-up nonsense like this. This might as well have been written by one of Dean's DU fanboys or girls -- it is of no higher quality than a DU post.
