Dean: One-Party Rule Would Rule

“Republicans had a chance to rule. They failed miserably. I think it’s time to give the other party a chance,” Dean said on MSNBC.

Uhm... yeah. I hate to have to point out nasty things like facts and all to Howard "Yee-Arrr!" Dean and all, but the slim majority the Republicans had is nowhere near the same as what appears to be shaping up after Nov 4th. That isn't to say that the Republicans didn't bone things when they were in charge. They did. But to suggest the Democrats, with unchecked power, would be better is ludicrous. But this is Howard Dean.

Aside from the potential filibuster-proof Congress, something the Republicans never had, Mr. Dean is leaving out a key political organ from his equation... the media. Without a check from the other party, the Democrats would have a blank check to do what they want and the only outfit that could hold there feet to the fire is the American people. But without a media exposing what they're up to, and in many cases actively covering for them, we'd be hard pressed to do it effectively. Especially if they resurrect the exceedingly misnamed "Fairness Doctrine" to silence talk radio, the one media outlet they don't control, and continue with this policy of blacklisting news outlets, and individuals, that dare to question them. How long will it take before they turn their thugs onto folks like Drudge and Michelle Malkin?
