Lucky Iowa!
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean vowed to work with Iowa leaders in an effort to bring the party together.
Dean gave a fiery speech in Cedar Rapids last weekend. [That's not news!]
As he addressed close to 500 activists, he stressed that the party needs to focus on all 50 states, not just the key 18 states. He said it's important that party faithful are clear about where they stand on important issues and are willing to fight for them.
"Social Security is a symbol of the responsibility that we have for each other. I have a responsibility to my parents. My children have responsibility to me. I have responsibility to your parents, and you have responsibility to my parents. We are all in this together," Dean said.
Dean recently came under fire for saying Republicans are "pretty much a white, Christian party" and saying they have "never made an honest living in their lives." Link

With all the Neanderthal blathering coming from Dean I've decided to dub him...
Unfrozen Caveman DNC Chairman"Social Security is a symbol of the responsibility that we have for each other. I have a responsibility to my parents. My children have responsibility to me. I have responsibility to your parents, and you have responsibility to my parents. We are all in this together," Dean said.If the caveman really believed this - that we are to care for our own families - he wouldn't want the government involved in any of the entitlement and social welfare programs. He'd be urging the elimination of Medicare, Medicaid, AFDC, SSI, the whole nine yards. If it's Howie's responsibility to feed or shelter his parents, how did it also become mine?
Lucky Iowa indeed....they get to see lots of Johnny Edwards too...
War on poverty "great moral cause," Edwards tells homeless group""This is the cause of my life right now," Edwards said after speaking to the Iowa Coalition for Housing and the Homeless...... "I'm going to try to pressure everybody, and more important than pressure, I'm going to try to build a grassroots movement for doing something about poverty in this country," Edwards said.
