Dean is going to come under heavy attack. His promise to repeal ALL of the Bush tax cuts is what's gonna get him, sooner or later

There has been actually been some pretty good analysis on the whole Dean phenomena over on DU.

Dean is a nutcase and comments like this certainly verify it! He's also got a temper and appears to be ready to explode at all those Dem debates. Now, they are really going to begin attacking him...I'm looking forward to the Dean meltdown.

Followed your link! This, it seems is what is considered "thought" over at DU....still laughing!

>>>Polls indicate that a majority of Americans would not mind paying more in taxes if the money was used to improve our public schools and provide universal healthcare for its citizens.

Remember what happened to Dubya's daddy? "Read my lips: no new taxes" was his slogan in 1988. In 1990, he admitted defeat and raised taxes. He lied, caused a big recession, and lost in 1992, even though he looked unbeatable after Desert Storm.

Why do we have to buy into the "no new taxes" mantra/lie? If we are up front and HONEST with the public, we'll win.<<<

Lets parse (filet?) this DUdimwit's thought process for all to see.

Para#1...OK, standard Democratic party line. Failing to acknowledge that "W" has stolen both these issues from the Demo's - and is making hay on them, somewhat to my dislike...but I digress.

Para#2...wonderful kicker here..."...he (GWB) admitted defeat and raised taxes.He lied (ie:raised taxes), caused a big recession, and lost in 1992."

The idiot/savant DUposter just blew his own logic to pieces...he admits that tax increases caused the 1989/91 recession.

Para#3...the Demos want new taxes...the rollback of "W's" cuts, which all the Demo candidates, in particular Dean are calling for, is, yep you got it...NEW TAX!...ie: they want recession.

"W", you idiot DU'ers has done the opposite - just like John F. Kennedy. Lowered taxes and given a tremendous boost to the economy. Read your history idiots!!!

The funniest part of the whole DUnderhead kindergarten-level "debate" (if that's actually the right word for it, I mean) is their mulish, muttonheaded insistence that -- even though they admit Dean would attempt to extort vastly greater amounts of money from the electorate, in the form of higher taxes than they are paying right this very second -- doing so, somehow, "WOULDN'T BE A TAX INCREASE, GOSH DARN IT!"

Second place goes to their oft-repeated (but never actually substantiated, one cannot help but notice) Krugman Fantasy Camp wish/dream to the effect that "polls indicate people wouldn't mind having their taxes raised, by a 65%-to-25% margin." (... and, no: I'm NOT making any of this up. Believe it or not.)

It's going to be such a rich, lovely, unalloyed pleasure: handing these arrogant, self-aggrandizing addlepates their collective @sses, next November. :)
