Re: Naivte is in the eye of the beholder (none / 0)

At this point, I would stop trying to convince the anti-Dean folks. They aren't really listening. How many times have people like you posted what you just posted about Dean's record? Which by the way, I finally looked at and agree, he's not very liberal. Yet, still, here we are again with the same reframes. They are following post-modern political logic. If you say something enough times, it becomes true just because people perceive that it is true. No ammount of logic will dissuade them because their conclusion is all the facts they need. This is why the Republicans won - they get that regardless of left or right, this is a large part of the American electorate. Belief is more important than facts.

That will be the difference (none / 0)

between McCain and Hilliary.

Even as a Democrat I would be more compelled to go with McCain instead of Hilliary. Not because of McCains conservative stance but because at least you know where he stands whereas I see Hilliay is already two-stepping the triangulation waltz.

Besides telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and, die, the GOP has done a fine job of getting gov't out of our lives.

The irony is not lost on me that Democrats, the supposed progressives, are the least likely to break with game plans that no longer work (ie, triangulation) whereas, so far, the Republicans, the so-called Conservatives, are the most likely to take risks on new approaches and innovations.
