MoveOn’s Poor Baby Alex
Another blog from Dean, our friend that we keep around here so that when someone uses liberal as an insult we can say, “I’m not leftist, I have a conservative friend.”
Poor Baby Alex. Poor little Baby Alex. All he wants to do is try new food and chase his little doggy around the house. Unfortunately bad men like John McCain are going to steal baby Alex so he can fight in Iraq with a platoon of fellow infants. Don’t believe me? Watch below.
Taking a page right out of the Karl Rove playbook, moveon.org is preying on American’s fears to mislead voters and steer them away from the issues. John McCain’s infamous “100 years” quote has been played out and taken out of context for far too long. We all know the point Senator McCain was making: that we may have a troop presence in Iraq long after the war is over. It’s the same point Barack Obama has made when he said a military presence would be necessary even after he has pulled out combat troops. Moveon.org is entering dangerous territory by lowering the political dialogue to the level that they have. This election has the potential to be a real anomaly: a respectful campaign between two patriots who have different views on how best to serve this country. Here’s hoping that the rabid hate-mongers on both sides can keep nonsense like this to a minimum.

Surprisingly Dean, when it comes the politics of appealing to gut emotions and not heads, we find we agree.
