    Howard Dean speaks candidly
    On CNBC the Deaniac said this, "I think we’ve had quite enough capitalism in the last eight years.”

    So what's the alternative?

    No one has ever accused him being shy about speaking candidly .

    Ever notice how the Dems are always anti-capitalism after they have gotten theirs ?

    The alternative is what we are beginning to see now... what has been called Marxism, Socialism, and most recently Statism (by Mark Levin).

    We're getting the alternative... and it sucks.

    If they said what they wanted to do during the campaigns there would be a lot fewer of them in power now.

    But you can can't say they're really socialists at heart, it's not allowed. Well, now you can.

    Indeed . Screaming Dean did not resurrect his career by subjecting himself to the voters evaluation.
    He can afford to be forthright because he is not accountable.

    Hello wingers:

    If the dufus hadn't broken it soooo badly, there wouldn't be kooks in there now... You have nothing but yourself to blame.

    So by your reasoning it's OK to have kooks running the country?

    Hello again, Steve:

    They're as kooky as your normal Democrat would be with a blank check.

    But, some neglected things need fixing soooo bad, that it's going to take a few bucks. Contrary to you folks, I'm willing to wait before I make my judgment...

    For example, in my view, single payer health care would increase care while reducing costs. Yes, I think the insurance and pharama cabal is ripping us off that much. That savings alone, could more than pay for the rest of his stuff.

    Could, I say. I didn't say would.

    Excon,

    Not only are there a bunch of Democrat kooks in the White House right now, there are a whole bunch of them OUTSIDE the White House too.

    For instance, there seem to be a bunch of kooks out there who think that the way to fix overspending is to spend more, the way to fix a budget deficit is to quadruple it in 2 months, and the way to fix the national debt is to spend $10 trillion dollars we don't have by borrowing it from future generations.

    Kind of like the idea that we should kill all the whales now, and we'll just bring 'em back from the past when we need them in the future, just like on Star Trek. In future generations, we'll go back in time and bring back the money to pay for all the crap Obama is spending money on.

    You wouldn't happen to be one of those kooks who thinks that "it's gonna take a few bucks" that we don't have... that doesn't even exist yet... to fix the country, are you?

    Nah. Couldn't be.

    I agree that there are kooks on both sides, but criticizing his economic policies without having having the slighest idea of what economics is makes you sound like akook

    I'll tell you what's laughable, the kook in the White House. After proposing a 12 percent increase in the budget, spending another $787 billion in TARP money and proposing $635 billion off-budget in health care reform, the President offered this as his reason for his massive one-half of one percent in budget cuts:
