Howard Dean The Screaming Machine is back on the scene, offering up his post-mortem on the failure of his party in the 2014 midterm elections. Essentially, his point is that Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for hiding from their own political positions.

“The Republican message was ‘We’re not Obama,’ no substance whatsoever,” said Dean on NBC’s Meet the Press. “What was the Democrats’ message? ‘Oh, well, we’re really not either.’ You cannot win if you are afraid! Where the hell was the Democratic party? You’ve gotta stand for something if you’re gonna win!”

Sure enough, Dr. Dean…but stand for what? If the Dems show their party’s true face to the American electorate, Howard might be surprised to find that even less voters will trend their way next time…because the last I checked, the Democrat party was all about Socialist tax policies, socialized medicine, trampling on personal freedoms, crony wheeling and dealing, and redefining the Constitution. If that’s what Howie Dean wants America to see, then be my guest!

Democrats didn’t lose last Tuesday because voters were fuzzy on what their priorities are. To the contrary, the country decided to send them a message that those priorities are doing little, if anything, to help make their lives better, thanks in large part to the party’s leader in the White House. Still, if Dean and his buddies think solidifying the messaging of policy positions that Americans have already deemed a failure is the key to success, I don’t think conservatives will have any problem with it.

In fact, go ahead and embrace Obamacare to kick off that new tactic of truthfulness! See how far it gets you.
