While a few Democrats appear to have been chosen by their Party to pretend to distance themselves (oddly…one of these notables is Sen. Joe Biden who never has a kind word for Republicans) from Howard Dean’s continuing backbiting of Republicans, the rest of the Dem leaders are quietly encouraging him.
One Dem hand is stretched out telling Dean to stop, while the other beckons for him to continue his tirades. As Dean continues his “I hate Republicans, Republicans are evil, Republicans never did an honest day’s work in their lives, [the Republican Party is] pretty much a white, Christian party” and further ad nauseam degrading remarks (they have almost become too numerous to mention) the Democrat Underground, MoveOn.org and the Michael Moore crowds continue to guffaw at them and praise him.
After all, these leftist groups (now the foundation of the Democrat Party’s ideology and its primary funding machine) seem to despise all who disagree with them, with the same unbridled rage as Dean displays.
Senator Reid, ostensibly, advised Dean to tone down his rhetoric. Wait a minute. Harry Reid? The same Harry Reid of “President Bush is a loser” and “President Bush is a liar. He betrayed Nevada and he betrayed the country” infamy? So, did Harry tell Howie “Do as I say, not as I do?”
Regardless of what Harry might have said, Dean announced Saturday that he has no intention of becoming rational. Besides, what fun would that be? Dean has already told all of us that he’s not a reasonable person. After his trip to the pretend woodshed, Dean spoke to Iowa Democrat Party activists in Des Moines and said: “We need to be blunt and clear about the things we're going to fight for. I'm tired of lying down in front of the Republican machine. We need to stand up for what we believe in.”
Guess no doubt remains, now, as to whether he’ll stop or continue. However, one problem still remains, with Dean’s comment. Other than ‘I/we hate everyone who isn’t a leftist’, no one has any idea (other than their raising taxes and bringing down the USA) what the New Democrat Party believes in. Despite hard questions from interviewers (notably Chris Wallace and even George Stephanopoulos), no Democrat will tell us! So, we’re left with: ‘Dem rage is the Dem program’.
I have no idea whether or not Dean’s diatribe is hurting or helping Democrats or Republicans. What I do believe, however, is that it has brought the US’ political process to a new low and it reinforces the belief of many that politics is the nastiest, crudest and one of the most despicable of professions. As these politicos “lead” our country, this unending nastiness is something that we the people should no longer tolerate.
If anything lowers us in our own eyes, it’s this non-stop mean-spirited behavior. But, Dean, specifically, as well as Reid, Pelosi et al will not stop in any foreseeable future. Has the Democrat Party has become suicidal? Probably not but, one thing is certain.
The New Democrat Party has become the safe-haven of every miscreant, ne’er-do-well and angry person in the country. A once healthy and “for-the-people” strong political party has become the bastion for intolerance and hatred. And Howard Dean is sounding its call to arms…
Char :)
Dean, the more he talks, the more
people see what the democrat party really is — the party of hatred and bias.
They've been trying to demonize Christians and white males in this country for some time now, and unbelievably, many of the persecutors are white 'Christian' males, (like John Kerry et al).
Good. I'm hoping that Mad How Disease goes untreated for a while. It can't be good for Democrats and at the very least it is entertaining.
No Democrat would be so self-destructive?
Sad to say, Dean is not taking his party down....the contributions are rolling in....another symptom of the political sickness inside their party.
I think this is a well-planned effort to energize the Michael Moore Democrat base. The Party leaders exhibit mock condemnation while secretly applauding the Deaniac. I think it's also just one part of a massive coordinated effort to demonize the Iraq war and bring the Republican legislative efforts to a halt. What you can't achieve by the vote, maybe you can by telling hysterical lies that the media will help you amplify.
Puhleeez don't stop Howie, you are doing a fantastic job.
The question to ask is why is he doing it and what is the advantage to the Dem's by him doing it.
Nothing in the world is more funny than a white Christian saying that the other party is full of white Christians.
You just can't make this stuff up...
Forgive my ignorance.
I believe I heard on the radio (Rush?) that Dem contributions were way down under Dean's stewardship.
Anybody have the facts on this? TIA
"(is Dean taking the Democrat party down?)"
I certainly hope so. By allowing Dean to continue trashing republicans .. there is no way the dems will make up ground in red states. And .. while Dean's lying and saying he's reaching out to repubs .. he's only meeting with dems in red states.
On the otherhand .. we have Mehlman who is not trash talking about the dems .. and he's actually making great inroads into the black democrat community.
Howeird Dean
?
Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Representative Wright, Traficant, oh, what was his name out of Illinois who retired in shame...., and the list goes on.
Keep on keepin' on, Howie!!
Perhaps Dean is trying to isolate ALL christians (not to be confused with leftwing wacko selective belief faith) into the Republican party.
Of course isolating a MAJORITY into a MAJORITY party seems tactically stupid.
Perhaps through his true and honorable conviction he will, in time, state that he was for Christianity before he was against it.
Damn it Jim! I'm a Doctor not a politician! ; )
