“I think there’s a lot of similarities between Nixon and Agnew and Bush and Cheney,” Dean said, referring to vice presidents Spiro Agnew - also forced to resign from office - and Vice President Richard Cheney.
“They’re both using the IRS for political purposes. They’re both spying on people they don’t like and not just terrorists, but also American citizens. Neither one of them particularly believes in judicial rights. They’ve both been dishonest with the American people.”
Does Dean have any evidence to prove that the Bush administration is “spying” on people “they don’t like?” I doubt it. Which is exactly why the Democrats can’t be taken seriously on national security. Rather than focusing on the merits of things like the NSA’s call monitoring, people like Dean are trying to turn the issue into a political weapon with silly and baseless attacks on the Bush administration.
Dean is the absolute poster boy for why Democrats can’t be allowed to get a majority in Congress.
