Just How Disingenuous Can Howard Dean And The Democrats Be?

Check out this from Cybercast News Service to find out:
...He [Howard Dean] also said the president was partly responsible for a recent Supreme Court decision involving eminent domain.

"The president and his right-wing Supreme Court think it is 'okay' to have the government take your house if they feel like putting a hotel where your house is," Dean said, not mentioning that until he nominated John Roberts to the Supreme Court this week, Bush had not appointed anyone to the high court.

Dean's reference to the "right-wing" court was also erroneous. The four justices who dissented in the Kelo vs. New London case included the three most conservative members of the court - Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Associate Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was the fourth dissenter.

The court's liberal coalition of Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer combined with Justice Anthony Kennedy to form the majority opinion, allowing the city of New London, Conn., to use eminent domain to seize private properties for commercial development...

Case in point of liberal "projection" politics. They have no new ideas, just the tired old big government retreads. They're morally bankrupt. And they've been out of power for so long that they've forgotten how to keep their nutjobs in the closet and let the "reasonable-sounding" liberals do all the talking. So what is left for them to do?

Why, just accuse conservatives of doing exactly what the left is doing. Place responsibility for liberal excesses on the same conservatives who are fighting those excesses.

But this absurd Kelo accusation made by Howard Dean takes the cake. "Chutzpah" doesn't even begin to describe it.

The man is proof positive that you don't have to have a lick of sense to rise to the top of the Democratic Party.

The only prerequisite one needs to be a leading Democrat is that they have to be an effective demagogue. That is the sum and substance of the Democratic party.
