Howard Dean, Democrats, Republicans & the media.

GratisNet: "Dean's comments regarding the long lines to vote in Ohio working class precincts as to the up to eight hour wait to vote, 'Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives,' set off a firestorm of comment from the beltway democrats, republicans and the SCLM.

In the case of the SCLM it is perfectly understandable that they unload on Dean, remember the 'primal scream' nonsense? The SCLM will always trumpet the words of a democrat, thereby aiding the great wurlitzer on the right, while ignoring most ill-advised comments on the right such as the recent democrats=NAZI comments of republican Senator 'Man on dog, cartpetbagger' Rick Santorum of Virgini... uh, Pennsylvania. Virtually no outrageous comment by republicans seem to make their way into the SCLM at all, let alone with scathing commentary of the opinion molders of the SCLM.

Beltway dems are quick to distance themselves from the remarks of Dean, not because they are false (they have more truth in them than most political remarks) but because after having lived inside the beltway for so long, they have lost touch with the feelings and thoughts of the rank and file out here in the country, real people who feel much the same as Dr. Dean. These so called beltway democrats are nothing more than 'Republican Lite' professional politicians who have long lost touch with their democratic roots.

The response from republicans is another story and reminds me of nothing more than the confirmation of their continuing hypocrisy and the fact that they are concerned because Dr. Dean nailed them for what they are, selfish, uncaring, 'I've got mine and the hell with you' individuals who care more for themselves than they do the welfare of the towns, cities and states in which they live or even, indeed, America. They are squealing like stuck pigs because Dr. Dean was on the money in his comments and they display the 'victimhood' traits that they like to apply to others. The louder they squeal, the more accurate the remarks, take it to the bank."
