"Matin, "He's a loser" tells us more about you and the way you think than it does about Dean. If you were to say, "He opposes the media consolidation that is choking the information vital to a vibrant democratic process" or, "He has reminded the Democratic party what it stands for and I oppose that," then you would have something. But "He's a loser" just tells us that you either don't have any good points to make or that you are lazy about making them. For example, "Bush started a war that shouldn't have been started, and for the flimsiest of reasons." His momma probly don't think he is a loser (or maybe she do, for all we know). But he sure got it wrong on the war. And that is just for starters. Didn't even win the election. Maybe he's a loser.
