Dean Admits Democrats Have No Specific Agenda
GOP.com ^ | 11/15/05 | Katie MacGuidwin

DNC Chairman Howard Dean acknowledged his party’s lack of an agenda once again on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday:

MR. RUSSERT: But there's no Democratic plan on Social Security. There's no Democratic plan on the deficit problem. There's no specifics. They say, "Well, we want a strong Social Security. We want to reduce the deficit. We want health care for everyone," but there's no plan how to pay for it.

DR. DEAN: Right now it's not our job to give out specifics…

MR. RUSSERT: But is it enough for you to say to the country, "Trust us, the other guy's no good. We'll do better, but we're not going to tell you specifically how we're going to deal with Iraq."

DR. DEAN: We will. When the time comes, we will do that.

MR. RUSSERT: When's the time going to come?

DR. DEAN: The time is fast-approaching. And I outlined the broad outlines of our agenda. We're going to have specific plans in all of these areas… in 2006.

I disagree, they do have an agenda: To undermine the war effort and our national security at all costs in an effort to make political gains. Simple as that.

IIRC some goof-ball from Massachusetts had the slogan in the last Presidential election of "America can do better."

Didn't do to well then and probably won't do any better in '06 OR '08.

Of course they have an agenda. They have to regain the WH, Congress and courts.

Other than that, they don't give a rat's patootie how many people they destroy, how much they consign America to the dustbin of history, or how much they damage our security, economy, borders, infrastructure and future, not to mention putting our entire foreign policy and military at greater jeopardy because of their singleminded pursuit of power at any cost.

The GOP is just as culpable in some regards, but I would rather walk over the GOP coals rather than the conflagration that the complete idiots in the democrat party would ignite.

I think that's exactly right. They don't talk about their Agenda, because they can't. They are afraid to spell it out. If the people knew the truth, the Dems would be doomed.

This is inaccurate ~ the cRATS have an agebnda!! A very specific agenda! An agenda to which they single-mindedly devote 100% of their time and energy toward achieving ~ their agenda is to overthrow the George Bush Presidency, at any cost!

Dr Demento Dean's super duper secret plans for America.

On health care, raise your taxes.

On Social Security, raise your taxes.

On the deficit, raise your taxes.

Your paycheck on Dr Demento Dean's Democrat plan. $0.00

Let them eat cake screams Dr Dean to his demented followers.

"We're going to have specific plans in all of these areas… in 2006."

Hey. Maybe this is John Kerry's specific plan that he had written down but wasn't going to reveal.

Their agenda is to raise taxes prohibitively, install a Marxist regime in the White House and Congress, and give in to terrorists, and cave in to all minority special interests. Might as well paint a "big ole bulls-eye" target right over America if they ever regain power.
