Howard Dean was against the war from the start and ran on a platform against it. He didn't receive the nomination from the Democratic party.

Instead John Kerry won it. Someone who voted for the war in Iraq and had no real plan for its future.

Initially, Kerry had an anti-war image, then as the campaign heated up and
the other side attacked his anti-war past he got kinda "I'm a soldier." Also,
a lot of democrats who participate in the primaries and wield influence in the
party wanted someone who could please the people in the center, that's their
thinking, and it was wrong! They didn't know their own base, which happens a
lot with the DNC, unfortunately.

There's a lot of talk about re-examining the caucase system, because it
does funny things to the momentum of the primaries, and lobbying is
VERY influential in the first few.

Dean became head of the DNC, though. He had the power when all was
said and done.

If your point was the some powerful Dems wanted to win so bad they
ended up not really standing fro anything, I have to agree... and that's not
a proud moment for them.

Everyone knows damn well that had a Republican made this slip up, the media would have jumped all over it too, probably even worse than they did Kerry. I mean, DAMN the man can't even apologize without taking a shot at his opponents, what the hell?

If a republican had done it Nanci Pelosi would be calling for his resignation. All the Republicans have demanded so far is an Apology.

Remember Trent Lott anyone? That's right...

The media did jump all over it.

His opponents don't deserve one.

That is the most retarded rebuttal ever. How anyone can write that and then read it and approve it as acceptable is retarded.

We see it all the time at press conferences . Very Happy

You don't see elected officials putting down the US Military at press conferences all the time.

Moving to the center to solve problems is one thing , but pretending to move to the center to get elected , then turning hard left afterward is another .

It was nothing but a botched joke and a comment directed at Bush.

The comment wasn't directed at our troops. What I was referring to was statements taken out of context.

Bush is a good example of how the lack of a good education can result in a student making poor choices. Very Happy

"Bush is a good example of how the lack of a good education can result in a student making poor choices."

But Bush and Kerry had nearly the same education , and I think I read somewhere that Bush's grades were slightly better than Kerry's .

An education didn't serve either of them very well. Very Happy

Like I have said this is not the first time he has had highly controversial comments against the military. He didn't botch that joke, he murdered it.

It wasn't like "Oops should have said this word before that word."

It was more like he got the whole joke completely wrong and ended up calling our military retards.

kind of like running as a conservative, then running up the highest
government deficit in history, when your predecessor - vilified as a
tax and spend liberal - put the country in the black and reformed
government spending?

Yep, both stink.

I'd prefer them just be honest, tell the truth about what they want to do and
what needs to be done. That's not the nature of the beast of politics, though.

Their grades were about even... both C students for the most part... at
Yale, which is undountedly a harder school than wherever you and I
matriculated. They're both rich kids, destined to get a little help so they
didn't really have to achieve much...

Clinton was an exceptional student though, and probably right below
Jefferson in the great I.Q. presidential rankings.

Not that I.Q. really means THAT much in a leader. A strong person who
surrounds himself with wise advisors can work well, too. Unfortunately
Bush didn't pull that one off, either.
