I stay informed. I think. I give a rat's ass and that's why I do this.

Maybe Dean Should Start His Own Party

Because he's the only person showing spine lately who is not a Republican. Leaders do not always care if anyone's following. Sometimes, a leader needs to lead in a direction that is not popular with the idiots. But, if a leader is true to the core values of the population, sooner or later, everyone will end up following that leader.

Remember the primaries? Dean was the one out there speaking his mind. Even those of us who generally hate all major political parties began listening and in the end, the rest of the Democrats were barking Dean's lines, as if they thought of them.

A good leader knows that the right direction is the right direction, all the time. Not just when it's convenient. I have no respect for any politician who allows the neo-nazi agenda of the far right to advance unchecked. Kerry, Edwards, Clinton, Lieberman, all of them are making me sick to my stomach. If any of them knew what was good for our Nation, all of them would be backing Howie up.

Maybe Dean should revive the Populist Party and let the losers hang themselves out to dry. Next primary, when it comes time to answer the question of what you did to fight the corruption of the Bush Administration, Edward's answer, "Not all of them were corrupt," will not win him any love with anyone except his new friends on the far right.
