Reply #9: DEAN CAN'T BEAT BUSH. NOT NOW, NOT EVER [View All]

[ginchinchili]

There is no way voters in America will replace Bush with someone that has no military or foreign policy experience. We're effectively engaged in 3 complicated, nontraditional wars: Iraq, Afghanistan and the broader war on terrorism. Americans are afraid and Karl Rove and co. will stoke that fear with 200 million dollars. Dean and his shrinking numbers of supporters are just whistling past the graveyard.

On national security, while Dean was governor of Vermont the Yankee Nuclear Power Plant was rated the least secure nuclear facility in the United States. Rove will have a field day with that.

Rove will paint Dean as another New England liberal and to "prove" their point, they'll run ads showing two men walking hand in hand with the voice-over saying, "In Howard Dean's America homosexuality will be competing with our traditional American values. Howard Dean is the only governor to pass a law allowing a marriage-like union between people of the same sex. Is this the kind of America you want for your children?" Then the camera pan wide to show two children watching the gay couple.

Then they'll start showing all the clips of Dean saying unpopular, politically stupid things making them out to be worse than they really were: "Howard Dean says he knows America." Then they show the clip of Dean making the confederate flag statement. "What he doesn't seem to understand is that not all southerners think alike." Then they'll show a black business woman, a hardworking white farmer, an Asian-American chemist, etc. etc.

What will it take for the rest of the Dean supporters to wake up? Vote for Howard Dean and you'll get 4 more years of Bush, I promise you.
