Democratic Boss...

I still fail to understand what was it about the Dean Scream that made everyone, and especially the "liberal" Media, berserk and eventually caused his free fall before the Democratic Convention. Howard Dean turns out to be the sanest of all voices coming out of the Democratic Party at the moment. He is the ONLY voice who want the Democrats to become actually a true Opposition Party rather than trying to emulate the Republicans and perhaps even feel good in remaining the Republican Light Party they have become.

"That word—'values'—has lately become a codeword for appeasement of the right-wing fringe. But when political calculations make us soften our opposition to bigotry, or sign on to policies that add to the burden of ordinary Americans, we have abandoned our true values," says Dean.

At this point, Dean seem to be the only voice willing to revive the Democratic ideas and ideals which formed the nucleus of the party of the left.

n.b. I am not a Democrat. Nor a Republican. I do not even know why I care so much about the Democratic Party. For all I care, we need a third party--a true party willing to oppose the right wing warmongers for what they are regardless of electability of their candidates. And perhaps we can find a real place in the American Political Landscape for the one mane who has remained true to his principles from day one: Dennis Kucinich!
