Why I like Tom Tomorrow
At This Modern World, Tom Tomorrow has a post reacting to word from the Lieberman camp that Howard Dean is a liberal, that liberals can't win and therefore (apprarently) we need to elect someone who is merely pretending to be a Democrat (Lieberman):
One, in any rational society, Dean would be considered, at most, a sensible moderate. Two, I'm so bloody sick of Democrats who react to the word "liberal" as if it were an accusation of child abuse or satan worship, I could bloody scream. You don't see Republicans squealing like scared little girls every time someone calls them conservative, now do you? I want to get rid of Bush as much as the next rational person, but I'll tell you this: any Democrat who so blatantly distances himself from liberalism can go take the proverbial flying leap at the rolling donut, as far as I'm concerned.
If you don't believe in anything except getting elected, you may, by dint of money and media support, manage to get elected, but you won't be anyone we actually want in office.
