U S News--"The Dr. Is In -- In Your Face!"
Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 04:44 PM by mistertrickster
Wasn't expecting much from the rag that brings us John Leo and Mort Zuckerman every week, but lo and behold, this is damn good for our side.

Shows that Dean's message of empowering the citizenry to wake up and act like Americans is growing into a movement.

Yes, they have the "unnamed Democratic leader" who talks about how an "anti-war candidate can't be elected" but that's so obviously sour grapes of the party insiders who haven't delivered for us election after election. Why should we listen to them after 2002 when both houses of Congress went Repuke?

If you want a Republican, vote for a Republican. If you want a Democrat, vote Dean.

On edit--the article also points out that only 22 percent of white males identify themselves as Democrats. As a white male, I think I some inkling as to why that is: we don't--above all else--want to be associated with weaklings. That's what Lieberman, Daschle, and to some extent even Clinton project--weakness, vacillation, pusillanimity.

Look at how Clinton let those right wing bastards talk about him, southern Senators who threatened him not to come to their state; Generals who went on record with rude and insubordinate hate speech, like the most powerful man in the world has to just sit there and take it. But they were right, he just took it. You don't see Bush putting up with that shit.

Our people don't like Bush's war but they go along with it grudgingly . . . i.e., whiny pussies. The only MAN in the Senate that I can see on our side of the aisle is Sen. Byrd, and the guy is 80 years old.

It's time to grow some, people, and the only candidate who's talking like a mensch is Dean.

3. Hey, I read that...
My ISP company gave me "US News" as a Christmas gift, sometimes the magazine surprises me like this article on Dean. Yes, the guy has some punch, unlike the other mostly spineless candidates. I hope he just isn't making a statement like Perot did in '92.
