Dean Seeks to Suppress Criticism

Dean Seeks to Suppress Criticism

Does anybody remember the 11th. commandment? It was composed by Ronald Reagan and stated, "though shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican."

Reagan was criticized for attempting to stife debate. Now, Howard Dean has composed the 12th. commandment for Democrats: "Though shalt not speak ill of me."

"If we had strong leadership in the Democratic Party, they would be calling those other candidates and saying, `Hey look, somebody's going to have to win here,' " Dr. Dean, the former governor of Vermont, told reporters trailing him as he campaigned through central Iowa. Referring to one of Mr. McAuliffe's predecessors, he added, "If Ron Brown were the chairman, this wouldn't be happening."

Interestingly, Howard Dean has threatened to withold his support should any Democrat other than himself win the nomination.

Though Dr. Dean has repeatedly said he would back whichever Democrat wins the nomination, he said Sunday that support was "not transferable anymore" and that endorsements, including his own, "don't guarantee anything."

Truly God does exist and he is a Republican. Why else would he have given us such a gift as Howard Dean?
