I'm Different Than Most!
According to Howard Dean, that is.

"New England Republicans are different than most. They are more reasonable and thoughtful," Dean said. "You don't get as many right-wing wackos." |

Well, being a New Englander, I am certainly relieved. It would seem that someone in the party has successfully hosed the doctor down. He almost makes sense in this comment:

"The burden of proof is on us," Dean said. "Our job is not just to say what we don't like about the president. Our job is to make sure that when we get in we earn the right to stay." |

Democrats earning their way to the White House by being elected has to be accomplished first. However, Dean believes part of the job of the Democrats is to say what they don't like about the president. I wonder if that is actually in a written job description anywhere. "Must vocally oppose anything having to do with a sitting Republican president." I just doubt that on the present course the Democrats are going to get to the White House. Until folks like Dean put more effort and time into outlining lucid time-proven or at least innovative strategies for the broad range of issues representing all Americans, (even the ones the Democrats love to ridicule for having values while they themselves have not yet come to a consensus on what theirs may be) they are going to continue walk around in circles making annoying noises like ten cent wind-up toys that need to continually rewound. And of course, no one winds up a Democrat like Dean more than a Republican in power!
But then again, what do I know. I'm just a New England Republican. It's not as if I'm some sort of right-wing whacko!
