More from Howard "the Mouth" Dean

Here is a quote from Howard Dean in an interview published in today's Salem News.

"When Richard Nixon mislead the nation and obstructed justice he was harming the system of justice and the respect for the presidency," the Democratic National Committee chairman said. "But this administration has done more than that. They have leaked military secrets in a time of war in order to fulfill their political agenda."

Dean is the best tool Republicans have to help them keep control of the White House, Senate, and Congress. The leader of a leading political party should be more careful when making abrasive comments.

The intent for the many comments and accusations that Howard Dean has thrown out to the public is intended to ignite the support of his party's base. Such a tactic can work but can work against you just as easily.

A rally cry for your base should never be as such that it can incite your opposition's base. This is especially so if you are the minority party. What's the good if you get your base to the polls but lose because you got more of your opponent's base to the polls as well?
