24. I do respect Dean, I would like him to be DNC chair
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 09:03 PM by Democrat Dragon
I am just doubtful that his model would work. It MIGHT work but I'd be cautious.

I'm not saying we should be like the rethugs, I'm just saying what were're up against. Besides one can be hierchical and organized and still stand up for the values of constituents instead of corporate pigs.

"No. They're not a lean mean meachine, my friend, they cheat. They own the media. They re-distribute wealth upward at every opportunity. A fat piece of shit can sit in his living room and fix elections"

That's part of it, that's part of the strategy. They do not use brute strength completly but rather use a heck of a lot of strategy. Underestamating the opponent is the worst thing one can do.

I do agree we must appeal more the grassroots, but let's not forget the power of unity and organization.

I support Dean because he knows about the fucking e-voting machienes, dosen't bow down to BushCo., and the Rethugs FEAR him! Having a leader that causes fear to the opponent is an important step toward taking the Senate and the House.

It is possible that the model would work, if it does then it could be the reason or add another reason why the rethugs fear him.

I would like it to work but I am doubtful.
