Reply #38: Dean supporters aren't Democrats [View All]

[HazMat]

by their own admission, they're "new to the process". Why should non Dems control our nominating process ?

IMO, Dean supporters are the same type of people who hop on any kind of bandwagon because "it's the thing to do". They're a bunch of spoiled, yuppie kids from the Rockefeller Republican suburbs who will become real Repubs once Dean get's slammed in the general.

This is why Dems are always susceptible to these landslides.
The "latte liberal" hipsters have way too much power in determining our nominee. It's always gotta be a damn trendy circus to pick the Dem nominee -- a "movement". Name the last guy to win the presidency because of a "movement". Answer: none. The McGovern model all over again. Forget about ideology. Dean is McGovern because he has no chance in hell of winning and we serious minded Democrats all know this from now, but the kool-aid drinkers lead, as always, as has been the problem with this party for about half of a century now.

The Repubs may be a lot of dirty and evil things, but stupid is not one of them. They know how to win. They know that getting your foot in the door in the first and most important step in advancing an agenda. They win more often than not because winning is their top priority and the people who control their nominating process understand this.

Unfortunately for us it's shaping up to be "pass the kool-aid" once again.
