WASHINGTON -- National Democratic Chairman Howard Dean was defending another of his comments Friday after telling liberal activists a lot of Republicans "have never made an honest living in their lives."

Republicans called his Thursday comment "mudslinging." Some fellow Democrats expressed reservations over his choice of words, too, before Dean amplified his comments.

"The point I was making is clear: Republican policies have declared war on hardworking Americans," Dean said Friday. "I will continue to criticize Republican leaders and their policies, and the Democratic Party will continue to offer constructive alternatives."

The Democratic chairman made the initial comments about Republicans doing "an honest day's work" Thursday during a speech to a Washington conference sponsored by the Campaign for America's Future.

While discussing the hardship of working all day and then standing in line for eight hours to vote, Dean had said, "Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives."

Dean just doesn't get it.

But that's ok...the more he talks, the more his party swirls the bowl.

[Antonello]

Dean continues to show why he is the best DNC chairman the Republican Party ever had.

The saddest part is he actually believes the idiocy he is spouting.

Karl Rove's secret agent, Howard Dean, continues to work his magic!

Weird Howie.

Right off the top of my head Dems who never worked an honest day in their lives.
1. John Kerry
2. Fat Ted Kennedy
3. Jesse Jackson
4. Al Sharpton
5. Bill Clinton
6. Hillary Clinton
7. Chelsea Clinton
8. Robert Byrd
The list is long but why waste the bandwidth , we all know them for what they are.

"The point I was making is clear: Republican policies have declared war on hardworking Americans,"

Didn't he get the memo about how this wasn't working? I'm beginning to think Dean is a Karl Rove plant at the top of the DNC.

"Republicans called his Thursday comment 'mudslinging.'

Did they? "Retarded" seems more like it.

[Reaganesque]

"...and the Democratic Party will continue to offer constructive alternatives."

Really? Mind letting the rest of us in on them?

Unlike Teddy Kennedy, Jay Rockefeller, Herb Kohl, Mark Dayton, Nancy Pelosi, Babs Boxer, George Soros, etc. et al?

NOTE; Dean writes his own prescriptions !!!!!!!!

"The point I was making is clear: Republican policies have declared war on hardworking Americans," Dean said Friday. "I will continue to criticize Republican leaders and their policies, and the Democratic Party will continue to offer constructive alternatives." Does the word freeloading ring a bell?

Dean in like a suicide bomber, he goes into the DNC and blows it up, but he gets to do it over and over every time he opens his mouth. What a beautiful thing.

I'm beginning to think Dean is a Karl Rove plant at the top of the DNC.

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but it keeps getting harder to comprehend what the Dems were thinking when they named Dean chairman. It should have been a clue to them that they screwed up a bit when, upon announcing Dean as the new DNC head, the loudest cheers came from the Republicans.

I don't know, but if I were Hillary - well, if I were Hillary first I'd stab myself in the head repeatedly with a pair of chopsticks until the pain went away - but after that I'd really wonder if some vast unseen force just wanted to keep jerking me around for the sheer fun of it.

see my profile page for an animated version of that and feel free to use it. It's funny.

To my best recollection their last Presidential candidate was a highly paid gigolo. That may be considered 'work" but I wouldn't say it could be classified as "honest".

I thank Dean for insulting people such as myself that are not rich, hold down blue collar jobs and still turn out to work and vote for candidates without having to be bribed or threatened. Since the Majority of the GOP now represents the same middle America that keeps the country moving, I would suggest Dean look at the statistics his party has gathered in an effort to realize this is NOT the 1940s. The welfare addicts, criminals, illegal aliens and the uppercrust elites now mark the average dem voter. The demos of this country have switched parties. This is why Whitman is mourning the loss of her 'party' and the South has gone conservative.

"I will continue to criticize Republican leaders and their policies, and the Democratic Party will continue to offer constructive alternatives."

Thing is, the Socialist Democrats haven't offered any constructive alternatives, or done anything constructive since maybe the 1960's when JFK was President.

Howard Gone WILD!
