It's time to admit we Dean Supporters were backing Bush all along
Edited on Sat Feb-21-04 06:37 PM by edzontar
As I look around here, it is becoming increasingly clear that our dirty little secret is out.

So now you know.

The Dean campaign WAS in fact nothing more than an elaborate plot to win a second term for Pres. George W. Bush.

Our plan, form the start, was to get this unelectable, angry man (Dean)--a self-evidently "false" liberal and corporate shill as so many of you recognized-- to win the nomination and defeat the more "electable" candidates, which we recognized, from the sart, to be Kerry and Edwards.

Our allies in this plot were the Media and the Big Corporations, who conspired to proclaim Dean the "front-runner" before a single vote was cast and marginalized the "real" and more dangerously charismatic candidates, Kerry and Edwards.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan until Iowa, when a brave band of retired veterans and a blue collar army of rank-and-file, just-plain folks Democrats destroyed our hopes to win the "easy way" by recognizing the flaws of our angry, boisterus candidate some three months earlier than they were SUPPOSED to.

The Dean supporters and Dean himself received new orders. Undermine the campaign with a widely televised rebel yell. Then, during the inevitabe decline, stay in the race to cause trouble and foment division. Anything to keep the primaries going and delay the nomination of Kerry.

But as the Kerry bandwagon swept across America, inspiring Democrats like never before with its promise of a "Real Deal," we knew we had to take drastic action.

And so it was time for plan B.

Reactivate the Nader campaign.

The former supporters of Dean received their new orders--continue to claim support for Dean or the Dems, but secretly work to antagonize and divide the base by posting anti-ABB messages on the Democratic Messege Boards.

Our new mantra of deception: "Let us vote, the primaries are not over yet."

Then--just as we planned--the Nader card was activated--and the resulting panic and acrimony has so far exceeded even our own highest expectations.

So why, if everything is proceeding so well, Have we chosen this time to reveal our plan to you here at DU?

Because we don't care!!!!

It is too late my friends--no one will believe you!!!

The die is cast, and there is NOTHING you can do to stop us.


BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

6. I have revealed all that I can.
We shall see if our little plan is successful.

Unfortunately, the random factor is the "voters."

Unfortunately, we have not yet reached the point where the public will accept the final revocation of that outdated "right."

Therefore, we have to go incredibly elaborate lengths--remember Florida?--to get the result we want.

Maybe some day this fiction will not longer be required.

11. I don't know of anyone on here who thinks that
I have never doubted the progressive creds of Dean supporters, I have never subscribed to the myth that they were born on the internet, nor have I ever felt they had a secret agenda of any kind.

I only question their wisdom and judgment, but that is not the same as questioning loyalty, intelligence, or sincerity.

Love your sarcasm. While I will not vote for bush under any circumstances, I will not vote for a tool of big, corporate interests either. Therefore, I will not vote for any DLCer like Kerry.

37. Refreshing post - Thanks for your honesty.
The funny thing is, if Dean were the Democratic Party nominee, he and his supporters would have been instrumental in giving Bush a second term.

Now that the voters have spoken, and Dean is out of the race, I will fear no Nader.
