Ah, Howard the Duck!

Well, it seems that Howard Dean has a master plan for winning the 2006 elections.

First, attack the character of Republicans when one of his own is attacking police officers.

Second, blackmail religious groups' speech by threatening to remove their tax-exempt status because we all know that religious people are all fundamentalists.

Third, carbon copy what the Administration is trying to do in Iraq, call it a Democratic idea, and say that the Administration isn't doing it.

Fourth, say repeatedly that the Democrats are "tough and smart" because we all know that people who are actually tough and smart have to constantly convince people that they are.

Real smooth moves, Howard.
