BTW, good find & post.

[johnqueuepublic]

hadn't thought of that angle.

Where was Dean when that happened???

[=Intervention=]

*ROFL* Did you even read the article?

[=Intervention=]

One issue does not a moderate make. Kinda flimsy argument, don't you think?

[hellinahandcart]

I wish the author had provided verbatim quotations of Dean's response to the question of whether or not he has performed abortions.

Me too, because I can't remember ever hearing anyone ask him that question.

(But somebody will now...)

[johnqueuepublic]

Sure

PipeLineNews has been doing this sort of stuff since about 1999.

Its based in California and the site has been featured on Fox News and CSPAN, the latter a couple of times.

Its pretty hard edged but that is what seems to be required these days, check it out.

I see nothing in this article which cant be substantiated.

[johnqueuepublic]

Ping-a-dean-dean

[johnqueuepublic]

Of course he didnt read it.....lol

[Sloth]

He can’t admit it because of the dirty little secret that despite what the radical feminists represent as being the “sense of the nation” an abortionist could never be elected president.

Perhaps he can't admit it because some or all of the abortions that he performed were illegal? Maybe even at least one death of the mother? Can't have that, can we?

[Right Wing Professor]

Very interesting.

Now let's shut up about it for nine months, until this ghoul is nominated.

[johnqueuepublic]

Dont know about that, all I know is that Dean has to deal with radical support of abortion and his ties to Planned Parenthood which makes tons of money killing babies.

As far as I am concerned I dont care if he did or did not do them, he served part of his residency in an abortion mill that is damning enough for me, he is WAY outside the mainstream.

[johnqueuepublic]

heh heh heh

I realize some of you are new to politics, but come on I am not that old or schooled in political science, but I can see a bad tactic when its right in front of my eyes.


Dean has populist appeal much like Clinton did in 1992, and antagonizing the base will only make him more popular. The better tactic is to remind voters that he is pro-gun and rather moderate, boring and unoriginal.

Most of Dean's appeal stems from how much the establishment hates him and paints him as a far leftists in order to make radical socialists like Kerry and Gephardt look moderate. In so doing, Dean will actually have to move Right somewhere-- I suspect immigration or guns when Bush comes out for the Assault Weapons Ban in the Fall.

Of course I could be wrong, but that is how I see it playing out.

[johnqueuepublic]

Offer proof, any proof that Dean is a moderate, you are either intentionally trying to put forth that proposition, absent any facts or merely ignorant.

So far you have offered nothing, nada, in support of your claim, put up or sit down and learn something.

[JohnGalt]

What the hell is a moderate if a conservative is defined as George Bush who has governed like LBJ?

[johnqueuepublic]

Look, pardner, that kind of obfuscation will get you nowhere in a debate.

Answer the question.

Is increasing spending by nearly 50% moderate?

no

Is supporting the right of 12 year old girls to have abortions behind their parents backs moderate?

no

Is supporting national health insureance moderate?

no

Is signing the gay marriage bill into law in VT moderate?

no

Balls in your court, bucko...

[JohnGalt]

None of those issues are considered moderate to conservatives, but they are moderate stances within the Democratic Party-- what is so hard to understand about that?

He will easily recast himself as a moderate, with the aid of the press, should he win the nomination, in my opinion. He certainly will not run as a liberal, he'll attempt to get to the Right of Bush alla Clinton 1992. Its a bad situation, and the playbook that calls for painting the D as a liberal hasn't worked since 1988 and I don't think its a good tactic.



How old are you? This is really politics 101 stuff but you're debating as if we are talking religion.

As a licensed practitioner, Dr Dean knew a sex crime had been committed on an underage girl. Did Dr Dean report the crime? If he did not report it, Dr Dean obstructed justice. And in most states it is a crime not to report your knowledge that a crime has been committed.

Perhaps the Vermont Physicians Licensing Board should be notified about Dr Dean’s actions in this matter.

Does Dr Dean support legislation which will require Planned Parenthood to report sex crimes against children? Women were dismayed when a 14 year old called Planned Parenthood clinics around the country. She said she was pregnant but didn't want her 23-year-old boyfriend to be prosecuted. Planned Parenthood was perfectly willing to abort the young girl and let the baby's father get away with rape and child abuse.

There is a national movement to hold certain abortion clinic employees criminally liable if they fail to report incidences of sex crimes against children. Does Dr Dean support this legislation?

[johnqueuepublic]

And they are right wing from within Marxist circles, that is not a defense of your statement.

I just skimmed the article again, it seems to me that he is saying that these positions are not moderate from the perspective of the american people.

Kerry doesnt support gay marriage, neither does gephardt they are both to the right of dean who next to kucinich are the two farthest left pols to run for prez since McGovern.

[JohnGalt]

An excellent tactical question, of course it should have been asked to David Souter before he was elevated to the bench by a Republican President.
