Michael Dukakis wants his reputation back

Michael Dukakis wants his reputation back.

Comparisons of Barack Obama to Michael Dukakis are irresponsible and an insult to Dukakis. As bad as Dukakis was, Obama is a much more dangerous candidate. Dukakis didn't spend 20 years listening to Rev. Wright's insane rants. Dukakis didn't buddy up with a terrorist like Bill Ayers. Dukakis didn't seek out and surround himself with communists his entire life like Obama. Obama is far and away the worst, most dangerous candidate in my lifetime.

Barack Obama isn't dangerous because of his inexperience - he's dangerous because of his experience. Because of his skills and lying and misrepresenting himself, he quickly rose through the Chicago corruption factory, the Illinois corruption factory, and the Washington corruption factory. That kind of meteoric rise can only be achieved by a person with a uncommonly dangerous ability to make corruption work for him. Obama's facility for corruption even outstrips the Clintons'. Fortunately, Bill Clinton was focused on his sexual escapades, not destroying the country. Not Obama. Obama has said exactly what he wants to do - he wants to destroy the country by forcing it to change into Europe or the Soviet Union.

I want to see Michael Dukakis step up and condemn these comparisons between himself and Barack Obama. Nobody should allow their reputation to be attacked like that. Unfortunately, one similarity between Dukakis and Obama is that both are wimps, so it's unlikely Dukakis will stand up for himself.
