Red State links to John Cole at Balloon Juice for finding this whopper by Howard Dean. Dean is now blaming the Republicans for the takings decision by the liberals on the Supreme Court. Huh? The conservatives are the ones who voted against taking the private property in the Kelo decision.No shame or no clue? It's hard to tell with Mad How. But it does it make you wonder about his staff. Aren't they supposed to keep delusional boy reined in?
...
Oh dear, how is it that he can just lie like that? Has he no shame at all?
Perhaps, there is an upside to this. (Besides that a party always loses when its leader is making such blatant lies.) If Dean thinks it is such a winner to be against the taking of private property to benefit some other private individual or corporation, perhaps the Democrats will get on board for passing laws in every single state to outlaw such takings.Since most urban Democrats (i.e. most modern Democrats) thrive off the chummy world of government contracts, government grants, and general nest feathering with the public purse, they better clue Howie in that he's endangering their golden geese.
Of course, it would help Dean's mirage if a majority of Democrats in the House had not voted against an amendment to a bill that would prevent federal money going to any project that involved such a taking.
