Neal Boortz [1] has a firm handle on why Dean’s in trouble:
“How long does it take for the bloom to fade off a rose who:
*Wants to raise taxes on every single living American who actually pays taxes.
*Can’t say that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 .. but can say that Bush may have known about it beforehand.
*Tells us how happy he would be to to use our military to defend our interests … but only if the United Nations give him ‘permission.’
*Has a campaign driven by a hoard of know-it-all, bulletproof young adults who know the ins and outs of the Internet, but who couldn’t write a cogent paragraph on economic policy if their tongue piercings depended on it.
*Wants Osama bin Laden tried in an international court for attacking Americans on their own soil.
*Shares his amazement with the rest of us that people in the South actually practice their religion openly. “
Again, it’s points of light like this that keep him in my reading list, regardless of the disageemets I have with the man.
