Updating our story about the Moonbat convention in DC in which we said we "can't wait to hear Howard Dean's keynote speech later today, simply for the material." our prayers have been answered.
No commentary is needed, we'll just let the words speak for themselves.
- "You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives. "
- "Is there a problem with the defense posture when we pick on dictators that are irrelevant to the United States and then leave nuclear powers like North Korea and Iran alone? Yes. We will look in the long-term for the defense of the United States of America. And in the tradition of Harry Truman and Jack Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt, we will fight the enemies that need to be fought. and we will use diplomacy with those who are not a threat to the United States of America."
- "The Republicans are all about suppressing votes."
- "We've suffered a couple of serious defeats. But we're energized. because we know that our vision for America is much better than the dark, difficult and dishonest vision of the Republican party offers America. We, we're in a war because the people that got us there weren't truthful with the American people. Our children are being poisoned by mercury and there's an extraordinary evangelical group that is now understands the real dangers of mercury poisoning."
- "And the young lady piped up and said, now, Governor, just a second, I'm an Evangelical Christian. and we don't think there ought to be separation of church and state. We think this is a Christian Nation. And you could have heard a pin drop.....And after dinner i was thanking everybody for coming and contributing and everything. and i went up to her and said how is it that you managed to support me as an Evangelical Christian? There's some things you can't possibly agree with me on, such as Civil Rights for all Americans and a woman's right to make up her own mind about what kind of health care she has."
- "When the president, the president rules by polls. he doesn't care that much about issues. he looks at the polls and he drives the agenda based on the polls. "
- "We need to have pension portability, so that pensions as we move from job to job to job, the pensions follow us. they don't stay in the company. That great Democrat, Jim Jeffords has been introducing this for 15 years."
Well, OK, just a few comments. The "never made an honest living" quote speaks for itself.
And we "pick on dictators"? I always remember speaking about bullies as being those who "picked on" people. Apparently the victim in this case, or the "pickee", is Saddam Hussein, a genocidal maniac. Yeah, "picking on him" was bad.
What I notice is the language. "Abortion" is now "health care" (Howie wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to strike the term "pro-choice" from the political lexicon). Nice isn't it, that vaccuming a baby out of a mother's womb is "health care".
Also the code word for "gay marriage" is "Civil Rights for all Americans".
Also, in a room of Democrats when someone mentions this is a Christian nation, the room falls silent. They obviously thought the woman was from Mars.
And while Jim Jeffords is a Democrat in how he votes, he's an "Independent". Shouldn't he know that?
Is it any wonder that Dean is an abysmal failure at fund raising?
We'll say it again. Democrats, thank you for electing this guy your leader. We'll put up a link to the entire transcript when it becomes available.
"This is just too rich."
No, didn't you hear the man. Republicans are just too rich! /Sarchasm
I've never heard a more babyish line from a politician.
It seems to me...the handle was pushed down long ago...it's already down the drain adrift in the sewer.
Sounds like Howard Dean suffers from foot in mouth disease.
I don't even understand his point. Ostensibly, Dean is relaying some story that will charge up his base. But, isn't he supposed to be reaching out to Red States? Ridicule of an Evangelical Christian, and one who professes to support him, is supposed to help his cause? Maybe I'm just too stupid to get it, but this makes no sense to me.
He's going to war with North Korea and Iran??????????
We should use this clip in ads, showing how nasty and divisive Democratic Party is.
Great, now I feel no guilt about FReepin' on the clock!
Keep digging Howard, keep digging.
I sit here, screamin' like Howard Dean.
I know, I sometimes wonder if he isn't the Manchurian plant by Rove. He does damage to the Demos.... how sweet.
Yes, but Sudanese genocide refugees can just go screw themselves ... since Sudan is not a "threat" to the US ... that seems to be what he is saying.
Wish I'd said that. :)
Rush calls it projection..
I didn't really, Howard. I'm a figment of your imagination. You invented me for this speech.
Several of these quotes would be very effective in ads by conservative groups and/or the RNC. Particularly his comments against Evangelical Christians and saying that Republicans don't work.
Don't you love farce?
DEM's fault I fear.
They thought that you'd want what they want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother, Dean's here.
Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer,
Losing his timing this late
In his career?
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns.
Well, he'll do, Dean's here....
