Dean said that "one of the misconceptions about the Democratic Party is that we're godless and that we don't have any values."
The Vermont liberal is trying to change that.
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean told CBN News that his party has a lot in common with the evangelical community.
Dean wants evangelicals and other conservative Christians to know that Democrats have something to offer them.
"The truth is, we have an enormous amount in common with the Christian community, and particularly with the evangelical Christian community,” Dean said.
But the Democrats’ record on hot political issues such as abortion, gay marriage, and separation of church and state don't match up with that of evangelicals...

The left believes that the public is really, really stupid. A big reason they believe this is that they think that "Madison Avenue" and "Big Business" lead the public around by the nose, manufacturing demand for products that people don't really want, hypnotizing them into zombie-like patterns of involuntary money spending. They think that, if it were not for the pernicious hold that "Big Business" has over people, we would all live simpler, thriftier, more natural lives. They think they are the only ones who know this; that the average man and woman walking around are only dupes, tricked into believing the illusion that they posess free will.
Therefore, they believe, they can tell lies that a teenager could see through, and enough people will believe them that it will make a difference.
What they seem unable to accept is this: that, although there are some people who fit that description, this segment of the population already votes Democratic.
They the easily-manipulated ones are on the Right. Who remembers that op-ed piece in the Washington Post a few years ago in which the author opined that conservatives were prone to an irrational belief in G-d and were "easily led." Rush has spoken of it a number of times on his show.
Crazy Howie is just taking this view to heart. He really believes that if he just pays superficial homage to Christians and Christian evangelicals, they'll just nod their heads up and down and troop off to the polls this November to vote the Dems into a majority of the House of Representatives.
Yikes.
I recall an article about Dean promptly apologizing to some gay rights groups, saying that he didn't really mean what he actually said in that article.
Well, let's see. They're both members of the human race. Uhhhhhh . . . . nope. Nothing else.
Mr.Doublespeak tries to appease the masses. However, he forgot evangelicals can see thru his hypocrisy.
What? hahahahahahhahaahahhahahahaahhahaahha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a whore.
Is that what the freak is talking about?
Uh, they both are sources of "greenhouse" gases?
Straight from the pit.
The Demoncrats have much in common with evangelicals?
Is this around election time when they go to evangelical churches to pander for their votes?

there goes Dean smokin' that crack again...
What a lying bastard.
Are you claiming that the Democrats don't believe in Hillary Clinton?
Dem's may have something in common with some evangelical TV preachers; Beg for money while wearing diamonds and tell the masses that they aren't giving enough.
Forgive me. I stand chastened and rebuked.
WTF ?! Why is he dancing with a Muslim headscarf around his neck ?!
From the man who left his church over a bike path.
