Dr. Dean Speaks, for Better or Worse (Letters To The Editor)

[dogday]

Unfortunately, the derogatory remarks by Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic Party, about Republicans have distracted attention from more serious issues facing this country. I believe he will get back on track and stay on message.

Democrats, and Democratic leaders, should never forget that Dr. Dean was one of only a few Democrats who had the courage to challenge President Bush and his administration on their reasons for going to war in Iraq - and he was right.

If these leaders had half the courage that Dr. Dean has shown, their party and the country would be in much better shape. Sean Gresh
