Reply #149: Dean certainly SAID that Americans don't like it, [View All]

Which going by your interpretation of Dean's words would be: "Americans don't like taking point on progressive thought", nor do they like other to do so - especially in Latin America since it implies those nations do not have US interests at heart. Not my idea, but Dean's words. It doesn't take much imagination to realize that doesn't resonate well in a certain section of the dem electorate.

For the moment though i'm going by the interpreation of other folks, which amounts to Dean using RW talking points against the RW. Or in the words of The Magistrate: "we must play on the ground that exists, not that which we would like to have".

Which doesn't stop me from pointing out all that's wrong with the "ground that exists", lest anyone would think no other ground can exist.
