Some Howard Dean Quotes from 2003 and 2004 (A Sample of his Idiocy with Links)

Posted on 12/08/2005 2:45:43 PM PST by new yorker 77

Quote:"We've gotten rid of him [Saddam Hussein], and I suppose that's a good thing."

Howard Dean - Children's Defense Fund forum - April 9, 2003

Quote: "We won't always have the strongest military"

Link Howard Dean – Time Magazine – April 28, 2003

Question: Questioned about the deaths of Saddam's sons, Odai and Qusai, in Iraq, Dean dismissed suggestions that it was a victory for the Bush administration.

Quote: "It's a victory for the Iraqi people ... but it doesn't have any effect on whether we should or shouldn't have had a war," Dean said. "I think in general the ends do not justify the means." Howard Dean – The Associated Press - July 23, 2003

Quote:“The fact is that we wouldn't be in Iraq if it weren't for Democrats like Senator Kerry.”

Howard Dean – The Associated Press - October 14, 2003

Quote: “I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks. We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats.”

Howard Dean – Des Moines Register – November 1, 2003

Quote: "By and large, this president, I don’t believe, has any idea how to fight terror. And I don’t think he is being particularly successful at it either."

Howard Dean - Hardball with Chris Matthews - December 1, 2003

Question: Unidentified Female: Governor Dean, John Kerry’s wife has said that suspected terrorists being held at Guantanamo Bay should be given prisoner of war status. Is this a campaign position (ph) you can support? Do you think that these suspected terrorists being detained should be given POW status?

Quote: Dean: I do. I think they need to be treated according to the Geneva Convention. I think the Bush administration has tried not to do that, and they’re not meeting with much appreciation for that position around the world. Just because other countries don’t treat prisoners of war properly doesn’t mean that we have to set-we have to agree with that kind of example. They should be given POW status and treated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.

Howard Dean - Hardball with Chris Matthews - December 1, 2003

Question: Chris Matthews: But who would you like to, if you were president of the United States, would you insist on us trying [Osama bin Laden], since he was involved in blowing up the World Trade Center, or would you let The Hague do it [where there is no death penalty]?

Quote: Dean: “You know, the truth is it doesn’t make a lot of difference to me as long as he is brought to justice. I think that’s the critical part of that.”

Howard Dean - Hardball with Chris Matthews - December 1, 2003

Quote: Dean: There is a report which the president is suppressing evidence for which is a thorough investigation of 9/11.

Question: Diane Rehm, WAMU (public) radio: Why do you think he's suppressing that report?

Quote: Dean: I don't know. There are many theories about it. The most interesting theory that I've heard so far, which is nothing more than a theory, I can't—think it can't be proved, is that he was warned ahead of time by the Saudis. Now, who knows what the real situation is, but the trouble is that by suppressing that kind of information, you lead to those kinds of theories, whether they have any truth to them or not, and then eventually they get repeated as fact. So I think the president is taking a great risk by suppressing the clear, the key information that needs to go to the Kean commission.

Howard Dean - The Diane Rehm Show - December 1, 2003

Quote:"I've resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found. I will have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials."

Howard Dean, Concord Monitor, December 26, 2003

Quote:"[Bush’s] whole campaign is based on the notion that 'I can keep you safe, therefore at times of difficulty for America stick with me,' and then out comes Tom Ridge. It's just impossible to know how much of this is real and how much of this is politics, and I suspect there's some of both in it."

Howard Dean - The New York Times - August 2, 2004

Bookmarked for future use - and it will most certainly be needed in the future.

A Democrat (I don't know which one, they all sound alike) was on CNN yesterday and Volfie played the clip of Kerry saying American Soldiers terrorize Iraqi women and children and then Howard Dean saying we would never win the war (which we already did).

The Dem's response was, "Senator Kerry sounds rational, Howard Dean does not." Is there any way to measure how irrational Howard Dean is if someone who thinks Kerry IS RATIONAL thinks Dean is not?

The most plausible diagnosis of this guy's behavior is that he's smoking something ...and it ain't his ham.

Terrific.

P.S. I am not a stalker.

I am a conservative who believes in helping anyway I can.

I searched for Dean quotes today after his idiocy earlier this week and his whining this morning.

I ran out of time during my busy day.

I could have found many more quotes, but I think saying Saddam's ousting was bad, Uday & Qusay dead is no big deal, and Bin Laden Innocent until proven guilty are enough to sink Dr. Doolittle.

POLL: 61% BACK TORTURE OF HOWARD DEAN

New York - A new IPSOS/CNN survey of Americans released today showed widespread support for using "aggressive interrogation techniques" on DNC Chairman Howard Dean, including waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and forced reading of Andrew Sullivan.

The surprising result comes amid growing controversy over US-run foreign "black site" detention centers, and Dean's interview remarks that "the pathetic US Military is doomed to defeat in Iraq, against Zarqawi's gallant legions of dashing and invicible super he-men."

IPSOS pollster Kathy Findley said that the results were not universally bad for the former Vermont governor, noting that "public support for Dean's hypothetical torture dropped significantly below 50% when when it involved extreme measures, such as genital electrodes or exposure to Barbra Streisand albums."
