Howard Dean’s contributions to the Democratic Party are historic and positive. But sometimes he overstates and he should not state in cavalier fashion that he does care whether the “affair” story is true or not. Not because the “affair” story is important but because Dean’s statement can be sliced and diced and taken out of context by the Repubs. The NYT and the MSM, a la CBS, have been grossly irresponsible in the past , Judith Miller, Jason Blair, Dan Rather etc. Our interests in this election should not be tied to so called reporting by the NYT.

I’m with Michelle Obama, the Dixie Chicks, and Mark Twain: “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” ~Mark Twain. I have not been proud of my country these last 7 years, as well as certain other periods in our history, such as when we moved to Texas from Kansas in 1957 and I was called “ni**er-lover” by classmates because I had gone to school with blacks all my life in Kansas and did not understand the concept of segregation and got into fist fights over my view. And now, likewise, we are better than we have been portrayed by our present government which wants us to be fearful and cowering in a corner, willing to give up our Constitutional rights to be “safe.” We are a courageous people capable of meeting the world and its challenges with shoulders square and chin high. Barack speaks to this courage we possess and of our “better angels” — therefore, the Obamas have my full support via both donations and action.

Perris, Your point is well taken, but if he is the nominee, and if he wins by a large margin; then the media will adapt or people will tune the 24/7 news out. Lots of ifs but one can only hope.

As things shakedown in the next few weeks with the Dem candidates for Prez and Congress, and we’ll be able to pinpoint our efforts more, we’d be wise to rally some of our support and resources around Howard Dean as well.

The DLCers are still around and have a lot of money and influence still, and we know they’ll be doing everything in their power to undermine and oust Howard. We must make sure that doesn’t happen. Howard Dean is as responsible for the 2006 elections results and the current record-shattering Dem turnout as anyone. We must “have his back,” now more than ever!

I despises anything/everthing Reagan, alf included, but I think your point is valid.
