Howard Dean needs to grow up.

[wallie_x]

Now that we're getting to know him better, H. Dean looks just like any other mealy mouth, say anything, do anything, waffle and B.S. politician. He has now been caught in so many double standard statements that it is fully evident: this man has no business running this great country. His big mouth shows him for who he really is: an idiot.
HERE!

You could say the exact same thing about Bush or any other politician. When will you learn that ALL politicians are like that? No one in their right mind would want to run for office and have the press tear them apart and dig into their trash cans and closets looking for any sordid morsel to squeal about. So the only people who run for office are those folks on a power trip looking to feed their egos. And they'll all sell their mothers' souls to get that power.

Whew! First rant of the New Year. Felt good.

IT'S real shame that the American people have not anyone worthy runnung for the highest office in our land. I'd rather have Alfred E. Newman in there or even Bart Simpson

No you couldn't. Dean is taking the art of waffling and say one thing one day and say the opposite the next (double standard) to a new low.
If GWB did what Dean is currently doing the press would anihilate him.

You mean they're not? I thought the whole "liberal press" thing was all about that.

anyway, right or left wing both arent good, both broke the law to get into this position, the whole politic is a corrupt thing, no need to talk about it.

Meanwhile John Edwards sits back quietly...with a small smirk on his face as he watches all the opposition beat each other to death.

GWB has lied and lied and the press doesn't annihilate him. For example, GWB said that the tax cuts benefited mostly the middle class. They didn't, they were conclusively tipped to the wealthy. GWB said that he wouldn't leave problems to future generations; yet he will be leaving enormous additional debt and possibly war to future generations. GWB says that his environmental policies improve cleanliness of the water and air. Yet, his policies relax past regulation and make it easier for polluters to pollute. GWB said that his "no child left behind" education bill improves education. However, it provides little funding. The administration has repeatedly resisted efforts by Democrats to provide adequate funding.

Moreover, the press didn't annihilate Bush in 2000 anything close to the way the press hangs on every word Dean says. In 2000, GWB said the Texas tax cut went vastly to the lower income groups. The reality was that only 16% of that group got the tax cut. The press let him slide.

As far as reversing course, GWB takes the cake. In 2000, he was firmly opposed to nation building. Hmmm, you'd never know that today. He was supposed to be fiscally conservative. Now, he would be called a runaway spender.
