Dean Blasts Bush for Agreeing with Him!

Howard Dean has reverted again to his recurring problem: coming to grips with reality. As the AP wire story has it:

Democratic Party chief Howard Dean accused President Bush and the Republican Party on Friday of exploiting the immigration issue for political gain by scapegoating Hispanics.

Dean and Bush agree on the legislation at the heart of the debate. Both support a Senate bill that would expand guest-worker programs for an estimated 400,000 immigrants each year.

However, at a speech in an Oakland union hall, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate sought to tie Bush to a much tougher House bill that would tighten borders and make it a crime to be in the United States illegally or to offer aid to illegal immigrants. Bush does not back the House bill.

Facts do confuse Dr. Dean and I got a good idea why 80% of Dem bloggers [Kossacks & Co.] love Dean when I glanced through The American Prospect today at the local Barnes & Noble. The cover of this far-left rag had a photo of Al Gore in mid-rant gesticulating wildly and the caption read "Why we're beginning to like him again" or words to that effect. Inside was a complete section devoted to how synfuels made of corn will replace petroleum in the US---oh oh! The far-left dwells in a complete la-la-land if they believe that corn derivatives, which are much less efficent than sugar cane which has had limited success in Brazil, will ever even begin to quench the American consumers' thirst for gasoline. The rest of TAP was equally clueless, with a hyper-lefty named Lieven excoriating French guru Bernard Levy for having postive thoughts about America. And the rabid Robert Kuttner reminding us about the deep depression in American wages, quoting Chicken Little economist Paul Krugman approvingly. Why not have a piece by Barbra with her original spelling to completely convince the Kool-Aid Krowd at TAP that they are onward and upward toward victory?

So I don't worry much about 2006 or 2008, as even an education system deconstructed by the NEA and AFTA PC police cannot make the American people stupid enough to swallow Dean and Gore and their far-left catamite corps.
