Disease

Americanlogic thinks the Democratic party is very ill. However, the cure is not Howard Dean MD.

On "Hardball" this Halloween evening, Dean managed to once again muddle the image of the Democratic party in front of moderate america. On the topic of abortion, Matthews flat out asked Dean if today's Democratic party is pro-choice, Dean's response epitomizes everything wrong with the Dems, he basically couldn't bring himself to say "pro-choice." Instead, he defined pro-choice as a term that could possibly be used against the Democrats to say they are pro-abortion or anti-life. Matthews then declared the democratic party confused on both the war and now abortion.

Dean cannot conduct interviews without making verbal gaffes. His shifty nature prevents him from sounding sincere on any issue. So now the democratic party is anti-war but says "since we're there, we might as well...." and now on abortion they are not pro-choice but pro-anything the GOP isn't.

This administration may combine incompetence with corruption but at least most of America knows where they stand. America knows Bush is a big spender, is unable to declare defeat, unwilling to fire anyone and pro business class. Americans don't know a thing about today's democratic party. Dean has not helped nor will he ever.
