Sayeth Howard Dean:

"I would make the argument that America is safer when Democrats are in the White House, than when Republicans are in the White House."

Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan and both George Bush's may not neccesarily agree.

Let's see...

With the Democrats in control of the White House, the following took place...

The run-up to the Civil War
World War I
World War II
The Korean War
The Vietnam War
The Iranian hostage situation
The expansion of Islamic terrorism in America

With the Republicans in control of the White House, the following took place...

The end of the Civil War and slavery
The end of the Korean War
The end of the Vietnam War
The end of the Cold War
The spread of Democracy in the previously undemocratic Arab world

Does Howard "Dizzy" Dean really believe that Middle America is that stupid? Or is he that Stupid?

You make the call.
