Roger Simon at The Politico reports on the latest activities of the doctor of disology and DNC Chair Howard Dean:
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean has been meeting with world leaders to repair “the extraordinary damage” that the Bush administration has done to America’s image and to prepare the way for a new Democratic president.
“I am trying to build relationships with other governments in preparation for a Democratic takeover,” Dean told me. “I want to make clear that there is an opposition in America and that we are ready to take power and that when we do, we are going to have much better relationships with them.”
Seems to me it’s become quite fashionable (see here, here, here, and here, for starters) for prominent members of the Democratic party to work against US interests by talking to world leaders/organizations and telling them what an ‘awful’ president we have and in some instances assuring them things will ‘be better’ under a Democratic administration. In other words, they’re saying “Hang on! Help is on the way!” (Sound familiar?)
So by my thinking that means if the President, along with his administration, and one of these world leaders are in the middle of negotiating a deal on something, a Democrat like Dean can come along and essentially convince them to hold off on any agreement because they’ll supposedly get ‘better treatment’ from a Dem administration, thereby effectively undermining the President and his policies with respect to the particular country with which he’s in talks.
Underming a sitting US president on the world stage in order to get elected (that’s the long version of “Putting Politics Before Country”): It’s the Democrat way.
Update: Speaking of idiotic liberals …

What is truly infuriating is to realize what a long sordid tradition this has been for the Democrats.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that in the 1980’s Ted Kennedy made multiple overtures to the Soviets seeking to undermine President Reagan, and seek help for his own presidential ambitions.
The more I read about this, the more I think Kennedy should be investigated for treason.
It’s one thing for members of an opposition party to meet with world leaders for the purposes of exchanging ideas, and so forth.
It’s another thing for a political hack who holds no elective or appointed office to meet with world leaders for the purpose of undermining the administration that is in power.
We have a Captain on a Ship because the dang thing doesn’t navigate well going in curli-cues.
The Democrat Party: Treasonable activity for over 40 years!
And this surprises anyone how???
Dean is only following in the Democrat tradition – party before country.
IIRC, this pattern started with John Kerry back in the 70s, crashing the Paris peace talks and claiming he held talks with “both sides” – by which he meant the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. Not a word with the anti-communist side.
So the Dems’ foreign policy tendencies are thoroughly predictable:
(1) Embrace America’s enemies
(2) Undermine America’s friends
(3) Subvert America’s own policies*
*unless a Dem is in the White House. Then, only items 1 and 2 are in effect.
What I don’t understand is how Democrats can’t see how divisive this kind of activity is. Additionally his words carry ZERO weight as he is not a representative of any administration policy.
John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, and Howard Dean. They are all wannabe presidents. It sounds to me, like they are all somewhat guilty, if not completely guilty of treason.
More of the same. In April of 1985, John Kerry was joined by Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) for a visit with Daniel Ortega in Managua, Nicaragua. Of this trip John Kerry said “Senator Harkin and I are going to Nicaragua as Vietnam-era veterans who are alarmed that the Reagan administration is repeating the mistakes we made in Vietnam.” The mistake was his it turned out, for shortly after Ortega went to the Moscow and announced an alliance with the Soviets.
