They don't see the "Grassroots Army" down there.

I think one of the Harrisburg MoveOn members put it best.

"The GOP is afraid of us"


Who is 'they', and where is 'down there'?

Dean is a man of unusual PERSONAL INTEGRITY.

In this day and age, when it is politically incorrect to voice liberal values, he stands up for his personal believes and marches forward with RESOLVE.

Not a business man or a lawyer, this medical doctor has demonstrated throughout his life a deep and abiding COMPASSION.

He is a LEADER.

It is unpatriotic to voice such malignments in this time of grave national crisis! You are a bad-mouther when the greatest nation on earth needs good-mouthers! You are with Dean or against Dean.

I wonder what American voters would do if faced with a candidate along the lines of Ed Broadbent or Stephen Lewis. Actually, I truly can't imagine it.

LOL...I've thought that too beth, particularly as regards Lewis. They would have to totally revamp their 'left, far left, far far left' mapping. Or just skip all that work and shoot him.

I once had a cross burned in my yard. Does that count?

If it was upside down, and if you lit it yourself, and if you were wearing a black robe...I will follow you.

Damn--I should have gone for the "alientated demographic", too.

Did you see what he said ALREADY to the Black Caucus?

<mentally spending Dean gaffe money...>

It is worrisome when you couple it with his other stance of the confederate flag.

Nonetheless, when you balance what is stake and what dean is able to accomplish, I don't think this will make the black caucus turn their backs on democrats. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

Despite the way the whole racial issue has been played by republicans it is not just about race in the democratic platform although it is included along with a lot of other issues and beliefs that democrats have in common. Those common issues I think will withstand Dean's racist remark and subsequent remarks by the GOP sympathizing pundits.

Unfortunately for me, the GOP AND black Americans---you are right.

As I said elsewhere--Dean could burn a cross at the Black Caucus' Prayer Breakfast. The Dems keep a large contingent of black votes tucked away in their back pocket.

Dean Seeks Media Blackout, Changes Mind
1 hour, 57 minutes ago Politics - AP

By RUKMINI CALLIMACHI, Associated Press Writer

PORTLAND, Ore. - Howard Dean (news - web sites), the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites), requested a media blackout of a debate with top Pentagon (news - web sites) adviser Richard Perle, then quickly changed his mind Wednesday after news agencies complained.


LOL

If you hope to win any of my money, you're going to have to hope for a postion more definitive than...

"I changed my mind; I'll have the wheat toast instead."

Laughing

Actually I can see why he might think it is not really good for the chairman of a party to be debating on TV. The role of the chairman is to organize the party and work how the message is to be played. (So to speak)

But trying to black it out was not really smart, only Bush could get away with something like that.

When is the debate going to be aired and what channel.

About the charge of a democrat helping terrorist, didn't I just read on another board about a republican helping terrorist?

Gosh, it makes you wonder what is up with these people in a way.
