Dean: Republicans "Have To Change Their Philosophy" Of "Beating Up" On Gays, Immigrants & Women

Former DNC Chairman Howard Dean says Republicans will have to change their philosophy and not just their ground game in order to win in the future. Dean says conservatives can not sell hate of women, gays and immigrants and expect to win elections.

Liberals “Have to change their Phiosophy” of falling for liberal propaganda and take a real history and economics class.

I can't help but wonder how many pills he takes a day.

I’m a woman and I don’t feel hated.

I’m a human and just want unfettered freedom, no matter what groups I belong to.

Thanks for the tip, Howie.

Oh, by the way, what do you and your fellow DemocRATS think of Sarah Palin?

Same here, and I don't mind legal immigrants either. I have good friends that are female as well. My kids have friends who are exchange students.
The "gay" thing stays, though. I have no tolerance for that kind of behavior. I find it repulsive.

How about a policy of knocking liberals in the teeth and let you sort out your orientation amongst yourselves.

Howard Dean simply delights on beating up on the “Republican” party that exists only in his own head, and could not recognize an honest description of what a real conservative represents. Of course, neither could the orthodox establishment Republican elite.

Gays, immigrants and women are beaten up by persons of no particular political orientation, who have no moral compass of their own, but thrive on imposing their will upon those of lesser physical stature or emotional strength.

Straw men are such useful constructs for the minds that can relate to the world only through Gestalt psychological models. They are totally lacking in critical thinking capabilities.

What Dean is doing is disgusting, but brilliant.

Dean is applying that old propaganda trick: If you repeat something often enough, people will start to believe it.

Now add to that a media made up of Soviet-style stooges. Now add to that a clueless GOP that refuses to push back.

End result: GOP goes the way of the Whig party.

from the article: "Former DNC Chairman Howard Dean says Republicans will have to change their philosophy and not just their ground game in order to win in the future."

Can someone explain why Democrats feel compelled to offer Republicans "advice" on how to win elections?
What's up with that?
Wouldn't you expect that Dems want to keep their election-winning secrets, well, secret?

Of course, I can think of some answers, but none involve even an ounce of good faith or generous spirits in those Dems offering "advice".

What you see here is the next phase of the Progressive agenda, in the form of an effort to delegitimize the opposition, so that no return to the status quo ante is possible.

It's all over the left-wing media and blogosphere: Progressive secular liberalism is being redefined as "moderate" or "the center", while small-government, faith- and personal responsibility-based conservatism (the former American center) is routinely assaulted as "extreme" and radical". Soon it will be "dangerous". Watch.

I don’t hate homos, per se.

I HATE their constant incessant clamoring in public for what is basically a sexual thing. It’s inappropriate and thus really should fall under obscenity laws. Keep it in the closet and no child has to be corrupted by seeing this garbage discussed all over.
