Race Baiter Dean
In my email I received a missive from Howard Dean. It began "Dear David, You run the Democratic Party," which was only the beginning of its lies. It went on to explain to me and many million people on the DNC's mailing list:
"The Republicans' biggest victory has been to convince many Democrats that we can only win by abandoning our values and doing what they say. It's one of their favorite tactics -- just watch how right-wing pundits talk endlessly about the internal politics of our party. They try to divide Democrats by ideology just as they divide all Americans by race or gender or faith."
Of course it's the Democrats uh-leftists who invented the modern use of the word "gender," which used to be a term to describe the distinction between masculine and feminine verbs in romance language courses. It's the Democrats who thirty odd years ago created black and women's "caucuses" in their own party, who reinstituted racial preferences in the law a mere decade after they had been eliminated in virtually the only place they existed -- the segregated south -- via the Civil Rights acts. And it is Dean and the Democrats who in this next election cycle have evidently begun the campaign with a race-based attack on their political opponents.
Last night I was watching Condoleeza Rice represent this nation (thanks to the Republican Party) as the voice of freedom in dealing with the terrorists in Lebanon and Israel, the two frontline states that the Islamicists have marked for destruction (in Lebanon all too successfully). As someone born into an America in which blacks were shunted to the back seat whether by law or by some other invisible threat, I couldn't help how remarkable these first moments of Condoleeza Rice's tenure have been, what a revolution in the affairs of this
country, and in the shape of the world. The Democrats are now the party of the reactionary left, status-oriented, hierarchically inclined and politically opposed or at least obstructionist when it comes to the advance of freedom in Iraq and the rest of the Muslim world.

I would love to read someday a book about the art, science, and history of crafting political junkmail. There is a huge variation in message between what campaigns put in direct mail that they think is going to their troopers, and what is distributed more widely.
I've gotten junkmail that makes me think "are these people insane?" and other junkmail, mainly from local candidates, where I can't even tell what party they are in, let alone how they're different from the other mugs running.
Case histories of politicians's views "evolving" as reflected in junkmail that goes out over their signature (and letters in response to constituents!) would make for an insightful and maybe funny book. Would be pretty tough to research though.
On the other hand, if one were to start out pro-actively, archiving all the junkmail possible from younger candidates, that would be a start to a pretty good "dirt file" for later use if they went anywhere later.
At least the more revealing junkmail lets you figure out where people really stand, even if they are moonbats.
