Reply #48: Look, no one is saying for Dean to stop telling the truth... [View All]

but to instead modify the way he does it.

Let's all go back and look at what has happened since his radio interview: Instead of the focus being on the Bushies and their incompetence, it has now, again, came back to the Dems and their ability to ensure the safety of the American people. This could all have been avoided if Dean had simply used better words to get his point across in the age of limited American attention spans and use of edited text.

Here is something to ponder: has anyone out there heard of ANY credible person on military affairs praise the Bushies for the management of the Iraq war? Hell NO!. Why? Because it's not there. Troops are dying in more ways than one because of the idiotic leadership and that is where the focus needs to be. Not on Dean and his poor use of words.

With a past in the military, I knew as soon as I heard his comments that this was going to be a problem (I also posted whether maybe Dean was crazy like a fox for going down this road, but it looks like that might not be the case after all) - no one can attribute not winning to the military without taking some heat.
