Pitch Perfect Attack by Dean
And the best part about it - its all true.
-
I simply can not resist the temptation:
Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh!
OK, that's out of the way.
Nicely done, Gov. Dean! This is what a DNC chair is supposed to do during primary season. While the candidates are vying for the delegates needed to secure the nomination, the head of the party takes the shots at the leader of the opposition.
Between this and the 50-state strategy, the Democratic Party has been needing his particular variety of fresh air for a long time.
-
Yes! Democrats fighting back: what a refreshing change.
We Democrats are like the big dog who cowers every time the yappy little rat-dog yips at him. Screw that! We represent the majority of this country. The Repugs are not popular. Why is this such a hard concept for palookas like Harry Reid to grasp?
Good for Howard Dean. Every time the Repugs let loose with a rhetorical slap (i.e., every freakin' second), Democrats should responds with by rhetorically breaking their jaws. We've got the power, so let's use it.

I was wondering...
...when we would start hearing about the Keating 5

If I ran the GOP
I would pull all funding for the 2008 presidential election, and start putting it towards causes where they have a chance of winning. I'd even consider letting Obama run unopposed, rather than provide what's going to be a humiliating spectacle come next November.
But I don't run the GOP, and given that, I look forward to that spectacle.

Why didn't McCain go after Bush in 1999/2000 when slandered?
McCain's response to the lies by the Bush campaign after NH in 1999, shows what he is made of. Cowardice. He will respond to the "Liberal" press, but not to one of his own.
peace,

I f****** LOVE (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE) Howard Dean ... he's the real "Straight Talk Express"!!!!!!
There really is at least ONE Democrat with a friggin' backbone and his name is Howard Dean ... He was the one in 2004 who said all the things that Washington Democrats spent all their time hiding under their desks, humming to avoid hearing. Then got all the rotten fruit they could find to pummel him with when they thought they had an opening...
I LOVE this man... for his willingness to address the issues that matter... like John McCain's endless morphing... McCain's like Tolkien's Golom... looking at the White House, rubbing his hands and muttering, "MY Precccious!!!!"

Go Dean Go!!!!
At least there is one Democratic leader who’s willing to fight. Now if we can just get those idiots in Congress (I’m glaring at you Harry Reid) to stand up to the Republicans.
Howard Dean has been a breath of fresh air at the DNC. He’s willing to go on the offensive and expand the base. Thus far his ’50 state’ strategy seems to be paying dividends. The funny thing of course is that he was opposed by much of the Democratic establishment at it took a grass roots campaign to get him where his is and he’s done more to expand the party and get Democrats in office than any of the jerks who tried to stop him.

This is EXACTLY how republicans talk about democrats
All the time. It's funny it stands out so much when a democrat does it. It's kinda rude, but that's how to win elections, and at least for one election season I'd like to see democrats turn the tables.
-
Right there with you, Tejana
I have a big ol' man crush on Dr. Dean.
Are those balls I see swinging from the Democratic Party? Well, maybe when they refuse to back down on the FISA bill, I'll believe what I see. Still, this is, as Borat would say, "Niiiiiice!"
-
Professor, please educate
'cause I'm confused.
How is Dean's statement "rude"?
It's correct in its facts and strongly stated, and given the nature of political discoure -- how is it rude?
-
Exactly!!
John McCorrupt is the most hypocritical politician of our time. He has based most of his appeal inventing an image of a mavrick politician who is disgusted with the Washington corporate lobby industry while being a serial friend and confidant of lobbyists. The Keating 5, taking campaign contributions from corporate lobbyists and doing favors for them, taking trips on corporate jets, etc. He's no different morally from Larry Craig, a fierce right wing anti-gay crusader who cruises gay bathrooms for sex. Kudos to Howard Dean for expressing his disgust with this media darling corrupt and aging fratboy.

Superdelegates
I actually find his comments about them just as interesting.
Dean: They are going to follow the wishes of the voters in their states, and I'll tell you why. They are elected by the voters in their states. Superdelegates are not cigar-smoking people who take corporate jet rides from lobbyists. Superdelegates are elected by the same people who went and elected the other delegates. For example, there are two classes, and one is elected officials -- senators, governors, congressmen. Those people are responsive to their own electorate. If you go and vote for a governor and you work in their campaign and you do all the things that activist Democrats do, you're going to have the ability to call the governor's people and say, look, I really want the governor to vote this way in the primary. That is part of the democratic process.
-
Well played
This is how politics should be played. Dean avoids the trap of the sex scandal and instead goes right to the important stuff. Not only that, but he goes for the jugular in a way Democrats tend to avoid. He is not mean or petty about it, just tough and clear. He comes off not as a partisan willing to say anything to win an election, but as a leader willing to take on the jokes that masquerade as politicians and call on America to turn their backs on such embarrassments.
-
yeah, well
McCain's response was brilliant - fight back and hard and he has the entire right to stick up for him with their media outlets. They've alrady got 75% of the nation thinking that it's librul press picking on him.
Shows ya what Obambi is up against and it ain't pretty. Heh.
well that's what you get when you put fluffie against the GOP instead of the tested gun.
-
Dean as pitbull and Obama as statesman means two things:
1) Hillary is now completely irrelevant.
2) McCain's defeat will be one for the history books.
-
I LOVE it!
Gooooooooooo Dean!
-
AHA
McCain influence peddling? I guess he really is a Republican, after all!
