8. Amazing how they're spinning Democrats' statements
First, Lieberman got lambasted as "supporting repeal of Rowe vs. Wade" unfairly, just for noting that the logic used (foetal viability) was in danger due to new tech advancements and had to be re-examined.

Then Dean got blasted twice -- once for rashly stating that nobody, not even Osama, should be executed without a fair trial (how unAmerican of him!) Then he noted that lots of his supporters hail from outside the traditional political process, and would be hard to motivate to support a Washington-style Democrat, and got accused of "being snot-nosed."

OK, smart-asses in the Carville camp -- just how do you expect to get Punks for Dean to vote for Dick Gephardt or even John Kerry when Dean was the only person who actually welcomed their participation, and every other candidate ignored them entirely?

That organization now has close to 15,000 new registered voters for Dean -- do you HONESTLY think they'd jump for a Washington Democrat who ignores them (or condemns them) just because Dean says "jump"?

Have some respect for his supporters' intelligence and for America's intelligence, please.
