Howard Dean calls for end to divisiveness, party unity

Down with divisiveness was the message Wednesday delivered by Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean as he told a group of Florida business leaders that Republican policies of deceit and finger-pointing are tearing American apart.

Dean called President Bush "the most divisive president probably in our history."

"He's always talking about those people. It's always somebody else's fault. It's the gays' fault. It's the immigrants' fault. It's the liberals' fault. It's the Democrats' fault. It's Hollywood people," Dean said. "Americans are sick of that. Even if you win elections doing that, you drag down our country."

Dean spoke to about 240 business leaders in Palm Beach County at a gathering of the Democratic Professionals Forum as part of a nationwide grassroots campaign to get voters involved in politics on a local level ahead of the November elections.

1. Poor headline

I really don't think he wants end party unity in addition to divisiveness.

3. Thrilling! "...he said to thunderous applause."

"For too long, we have allowed the Republican Party to give the message about what the Democratic Party is about to the voters," he said to thunderous applause. "That is over with."

4. We do all need to stick together and back each other

work for your local Democrats running for government!

We know what we think, we need to forget being "politically correct" and
say we are tired of their lies and killing of the Constitution!

I want my country back!!

6. We need an army to fight the repukes not a platoon

Once we achieve power than we can start throwing the dinos in the brig.

9. WHERE IS THERE ANYTHING IN THE ARTICLE ABOUT PARTY UNITY?

Everybody read the article (it's short). I think this headline is a mistake.

10. It is admirable that he is targeted local participation

but, the news is that Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer are contemplating endorsing Bolton.

Well I tell ya, there is NO unity at all, Each is out for themself and the quest to gain power. Each supports the barbarism of Israel. Each is a warmonger, no matter how much human life has been lost.

And this is my country? It is not the one I thought it was.

Hillary needs to take a douche. She is way off target and I disrespect her even more. This party needs a hero. There are none that I can see.

It will take a great catastrophe to bring this fascist country to it's knees and it needs to be taken to it's knees at this point.

We have been destroyed by an ignorant and stupid man whose only purpose is to establish a "legacy". Oh yeah, he has got a legacy alright. I think we all know what that legacy it, and I think we all know it is NOT the legacy we want to be recorded in history.
I have had enough of this crap.

11. Did you find anything in the article about party unity? I didn't.

I think the headline is a mistake.

12. Hilllie and Rupert have a plan give the party to the corporations

Liquidate America, and sell out our standard of living so that the corporations flourish, not the working people.
