"We are in the traditon of Truman, Kennedy, and Roosevelt. We will fight the enemies that need to be fought."

Amazing quote..and notice please, who is omitted from the litany of Dem presidents?....LBJ, Carter, and yup..Bubba..Guess they didn't "fight", eh, Howie?

Question for ya..If Bush took a poll, as did Clinton,on where he should take his vacation, what % of the American people would vote for Crawford?

If anyone has an UNEDITED transcript of Dean's speech, please post it for comparison. Thank you.

Okay, I've done a web search, and I'm worried. This isn't being reported by a single media source. The line about Republicans never working a day in their lives makes for a pretty good headline, and yet it's not even on Drudge or Foxnews website. I'm worried that... as always... this outrage will simply get buried by the media.

[Straight Vermonter]

This guy has been a complete lunatic for years according to people who know him. The voters of Vermont, however, were almost entirely kept in the dark about him by a complicit media.

[Reactionary]

It's fascinating to consider the advanced liberal brain when it sets to writing.

All it does is produce one idiotic cliche after another.

There's a steep cliff up ahead, the Dumbocrat bus is heading straight for it, Howard Dean is in the driver's seat, and he's got his pedal to the metal, screaming YEEEEEAAAAARRRRRHHHHH! as it hurtles over the edge.

Howard must be kidding me right. Howard is the ultimate frat boy rich kid.

Here's what Howard does not know:

I used to wash dishes and flip hash for a living. After that, I worked 10 hours a day pushing wheel barrels of concrete up planks for difficult pours. My pay -- $6.50 an hour. That was 15 years ago.

Now -- I charge $405 an hour for my time.

It was the ride in between that made me a Republican. It was the struggle, the getting my education at night, the 3 jobs while going to school at night. It was the perseverance, self-reliance, and risk I took on myself -- including the massive debt I compiled to attend my various schools. It was that challenge that made me understand the power of determination, self-reliance, and personal responsibility.

That's why I am a Republican.

The Reason, unfortunately, that the Howard Dean's of the world are Democrats, is because it is they who have never worked a day in their life.

The Democrat party is a collection of several groups. Pro-abortion and pro-gay groups. But at its core, it is now the party of the non-working man. It is the party of the super guilty and super rich, who have never worked. It is the party of the elite who believe some can never achieve. And it is the party of the dependent, those who don't try or are afraid to achieve, and instead keep themselves warm with government handouts and hot rhetoric of class warfare -- served so easily by the Howard Deans of the world.

I'm a Republican. ~And I can do it all because Republicans know how to multi-task!

[kcvl]

Howard Dean is a raving lunatic!

How would a rich, white, elitist who spent his "youth" skiing know anything about how anyone in flyover country makes a living?! And what the hell is wrong with being rich?!!! I noticed that he and his liberal friends don't mind being rich. And his liberal "friends" sure as hell don't mind marrying it! Are you listening John Kerry?!

How in the hell did this guy get through med school?

[Mr. Jeeves]

- "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."

You mean something like every single independent contractor, self-employed professional, and multi-employer union member in the United States already has today? ;)

- "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. "

I just finished working and was going to respond, but now I have to go pick up my daughter from her after-care program.

Maybe I'll find some time later after I feed her, give her a bath and put her to bed. (My wife won't be home from her work unti aroun 9pm. She doesn't vote for democrats either.)

If Howie thinks "Pension Portability" is a great idea, then why not "Social Security Portability" where I would be able to take my money out of the "Company" i.e. the government, and invest it where I want.
