Polarization of the US, Part V
Posted by Moonage on 27 Feb 2005 | Tagged as: National Politics
Democrats and liberals in general have lambasted Bush for polarizing the US. Regardless of the long list of very polarized opinions Kerry gave during the campaign, people kept talking about how Bush was the polarizing catalyst. I’ve listed Kerry’s, and a few other issues, in this series. Now, when the DNC chose Dean, I immediately concluded it was a poor choice due to his over-the-top hyperbole. I didn’t have to wait long have that "prophecy" fulfilled:
He doesn’t stop there:
"Moderate Republicans can’t stand these people (conservatives), because they’re intolerant. They don’t think tolerance is a virtue," Dean said, adding: "I’m not going to have these right-wingers throw away our right to be tolerant."
And the coup d’etat:
"This is a struggle of good and evil. And we’re the good."
Yeah buddy, that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy all over. Different year, same people, same rhetoric. This is not going to bring new people to the party. It will also, IMO, continue to drive people away. When you’re losing, you need a new game plan. This kind of garbage is the exact same script that has driven them from control in the first place.
Kudos to Polipundit.com for the heads up.
