“When he suffered his defeat in ‘88, Dukakis sought counsel from Walter Mondale, who had suffered an even bigger defeat as the Democrats’ nominee four years earlier. “

The jokes write themselves.

And I once heard Dukakis lament that the fact that George W. Bush was elected president was his fault.

Dukakis’ reasoning was that if he had beaten George H.W. Bush in 1988, that we would never have seen the political emergence of “W” years later.

By that reasoning, does that mean if Bush 41 had defeated Clinton in ‘92, that we would never have seen the emergence of Hillary????

"I was asked to sit on a panel with a young Tea Party guy. And it was the first chance I had to sit down and listen -- much of what he said was just factually inaccurate, didn't make a lot of sense.

I would love to know what they think is inaccurate about the Tea Party positions.

We need to elect someone who is outside the Eastern Establishment for a change and don’t have the mindset of “to get along, you go along”. I was not much a fan of Bush Sr. His saying of a “kinder and gentler nation” was an indirect jab at Reagan.

he believes the Democratic Party can "focus on connecting with an overwhelming majority of Americans that seem to agree with us on fundamental issues, but are voting for other people."

Compelling illustration of why this idiot loser was unfit to be president.

Very telling and not surprising story about Poppy Bush.

“And I'm somebody who's a great believer in sitting down with folks. But I think you have to lay out the facts, see if you can get agreement on, if not the facts, at least on the problem.”

The problem is that for liberals, like Dukakis, whatever they happen to believe is to them a ‘fact’, and they are just not open-minded enough to consider that they are philosophically and factually wrong. How can you have a substantive conversation with someone, for example, who refuses to see and/or admit that democrat fiscal policy and democratic pressure on banks to make ill-advised loans are major reasons why we are where we are?

Hey Mike:

Why don’t you head down to Plains, GA, meet with that other loser down there, and both cry in your beers?

"Well, I didn't say anything -- the election was over. Well, by God, he raised them his second year, and we all know what happened."

LOL!
Well, more accurately, Bush caved to the tax-lusting scumbag Democrats and went along with the scumbag Democrats' massive tax hike. Either way Bush blew it, so shame on him. Lesson learned - - NEVER go along with the scumbag Democrats' tax hikes.

When the democrats have to reach back to their
biggest loser, who then says, “It was my fault,
not our policies.” you know they are going to
lose AGAIN.

We MUST CRUSH them this time, with out a clear mandate
we will continue to suffer the tyranny of the minority.

Just look at what one more republican would have done
in Wisconson.

Of the Bush campaign's sharp attacks -- which were punctuated by the notorious "Willie Horton ad" -- that helped erode what was once a 17-point lead for the Democrat, Dukakis now says, "I did a lousy job of dealing with that.

Umm.. why is it a sharp attack to point out that a convicted murderer (with no chance of parole) was let out on a weekend furlough and them committed assault, robbery, and rape? The lousy job Dukakis did was being Governor and instituting such assanine policies as weekend furloughs for convicted murders.

It's always fascinating to read how an inept loser such as Michael Dukakis rationalizes his loss in the most important political campaign of his life, then makes ridiculous statements left and right (inferring that the TEA party is based on ignorance and that Sarah Palin has absolutely no chance of beating Obama in '12). He wishes. The hubris of the left - they are all sooooo 'brilliant' - will be part of their political downfall - their loss of the presidency and the senate in 2012. It can't come soon enough.

He sounds like a bitter bitter man. His “Massachusetts Miracle” turned into a nightmare. The arrogance of these people never ceases to amaze me.
