I should clarify that "Christian" means different things to different people.
Certainly, the Religious Right and Christian are not interchangable in the referenced connotation. Re the GOP, "Christian" merely denotes belief, acted on or not.
and then there's always my thoughts (however meaningless they may be) that Dean is indeed representing the mainstream of the democratic party sick of the sell-out of the current dem power bloc and its move to the right, if we wanted another repub in office we would vote for Hillary and we would talk nice-nice about the idiot wind blowing out of white house/senate/house. Tom Delay is a crook and Frist is a mealy mounthed wannabe (the dems are equally vile) I am not a Dean fan (he's a conservative that just happens to oppose the Iraq invasion)
I don't think he represents the mainstream Dems, he represents the the Move On and Michael Moore crowd....erm....okay now we agree..no...erm?
Since the Party has been taken over by Move On etc. does that make them the mainstream of the Party? Or just the segment who has the power?
Anyway, Kerry needed to win twice the moderates than he did to win, I don't think Dean will sway them over as he has been conducting himself.
It wouldn't bother me if a guy came out talking about substantive differences with the GOP--and HE represented the mainstream of the Dem party.
If you'll notice, all Dean does is the personal attack.
I hope sincerely this is not the best the mainstream of the Dem party has to offer.
Message...plan...purpose....????
In a vaccuum, something will rise up.
In the Dem's vaccuum of ideas, hate has risen to fill the void.
It is increasingly ugly.
um well I am definitly not MoveOn or Moore(ish) nor am I much of dean fan but really folks don't you like to see some differences of opinon? Ok maybe you don't and maybe you need to think about that sans the knee-jerk.
If we didn't like to see differences of opinion we wouldn't hang around A2K, eh?
I don't categorize you as Moore-ish or MoveOn-ish.
Dys-- Republicans never worked a day in their lives isn't a political idea. Republicans all look alike and think alike isn't substantive dialogue. I hate Republicans isn't political discourse.
If he took serious issue with an actual political idea, at least it would be in the ballpark....in the realm of what he's supposed to be doing....
These things are nothing more than personal attack. He's the knee-jerk.
So when Zell went agog with his rants, you where like quick to point out how this guy lacked substance and appeared to the reincarnation of Wallace? Reality bites!
Hmmm. I'm not trying to convince you of anything.
For clarification, almost all politicos say something negative about their opposition. Zell, many of the GOP Convention speakers and the Dem....that was the time to do it.
The paid figureheads of the parties are hired to represent and raise money. Dean has the Dems chorusing that he doesn't speak for them. He's not only not helping them--he's making it hard for them.
When is the last time you heard a GOP Chair say anything like Dean has been saying?
But, I don't want to stop him. I'm just surprised people who want the Dems to succeed are supporting Dean. They should force him out.
Shhhhhh, Lash ...... shhhhhhhhh! Let 'em have their fun. Its good for us.
Dean is a particularly fitting representative of the Democrat party as it really is - perhaps that's why the true believers love him so. . Full of sound & fury, propelled by an angry, self-righteous sense of indignation, and utterly captive to the meaningless slogans of the various single issue loonie groups that animate it.
The whole thing is seriously deficient in any coherent body of political thought or action. However, I wouldn't change it for the world.
Accusing half the country of treason is
a brilliant political strategy.
(But, oh, that Howard Dean -- what a nutcase!)
No mention of treason or patriotism.
Just characterizing the difference in conservatives and liberals...which is the worse thing you can do to liberals, it seems.
Quote:"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals wanted to offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."
Really, sweetie, if you can't understand what that is calling red-blooded taxpaying Americans, then I'm glad you finished school before competency testing became rote.
Are you saying that the liberals weren't thumping the rest of us for "our part in why they attacked" and are you saying that liberals didn't say widely, "we should understand WHY they did what they did?"
I CAN find the quotes.
Rove spoke the truth.
Sweetie.
I'm saying Karl Rove is a c*ck-sucking sack of sh*t.
Pumpkin.
Jeez, can't you dunces on the right realize that we have to go after our attackers AND figure out their reasoning?
I find it to be really funny that Rove makes these remarks and ignores the fact that his administration has failed to catch OBL for 45 months now. 45 months. The only people who talk about catching OBL anymore? Liberals.
