Reply #224: Dems contributed to the very war hysteria that made Dean "risky." [View All]

[KnowerOfLogic]

They were not only undermining Dean's candidacy, but they were undermining the whole democratic party, because by helping to make "who's the most pro-war?" the deciding issue, they virtually guaranteed that repukes would win. They were attempting to gain some short-term advantage by aligning themselves with the marauding mob, instead of with the voices of reason. Not only was it wrong morally, but it was also wrong strategically.
