Dean supporters, room for one more? (I'm switchin' to DEAN - Yeeaaahh!)
Edited on Fri Jan-23-04 11:34 PM by nu_duer
I've been dwelling on this for over a week, and was going to post this yesterday, but the flu has me a little under the weather, and I thought I'd wait 'till I could be as clear as possible in my explanation. I decided to post this now, because I don't want anyone to think I was "jumping on the bandwagon" after Dean's comeback - which I predict will be all the talk here and elsewhere by Sunday. There are already hints of it.

Why am I switching to Dean? A lot of reasons, really. His refusal to kiss gwmoron's ass for starters. His opposition to the bs invasion of Iraq as well. His experience, his personality, his record of results.

But what really sealed it for me was the absolute full-on assault on him by the media and a small portion of certain other candidates' supporters, even here, over that rally in Iowa Monday. That media-manufactured "crisis" and the OJ/MJ like coverage of such a non-issue, non-event has convinced me that a concerted effort to stop Dean at all costs is in the works at the highest levels. I have never seen anything like it in my life. And it was absolute bullshit.

I haven't suffered thru the last three + years of bushco to have the mediawhores and a handful of anti-Dean Dems tell me who I can and cannot consider for the next President. Somebody wrote recently of the "political assassination of Howard Dean." I believe many are going to be stunned to find it was an attempted political assassination that failed, and has begun to, and will continue to, backfire - big time. And this silly, sickening sabotage of the Dean campaign made me look hard at the guy, and what he's really about, and he's the one for me.

I was a DK supporter - and I have nothing but good vibes and good feelings for the guy, for many of the same reasons I like Dean, and my switch is in no way a dis of Dennis.

I live in SC, the most talked about contest after NH. If this flu subsides enough by Monday, I'll be volunteering for the Dean campaign here in SC, and will be thrilled and honored to work for them (for US, for OUR America!) in any capacity they see fit.

I truly believe now that its not Dean they're trying to stop, its the people.

Let's take our country back!

YEEEEAAAAAHHHH!

Glad to have you. I agree with all of your reasons. I also believe that something is brewing in NH and that Howard Dean will be the "comeback kid" of 2004.

I don't post here much because I don't need the negativity, but I am with the doctor. It's true, they are so afraid of him, that the whole character assassination has only began and with the help of other Democrats too.

10. Welcome to the Dean Team!
Hope you get rid of that flu quickly! Dean was my governor for over 10 years, and you're making the right choice. If Dean does even half as good a job as he did here in Vermont when he becomes president, we'll see the best America we've EVER seen!

12. We scare the utter living shit outta them (repugs that is)
Edited on Fri Jan-23-04 11:42 PM by Melodybe
The very notion that thousands of people were willing to travel to a place where the wind chill is -20, terrifies them.

I believe that Dean is their worst nightmare, because not only does he have a record of actually helping people, he has the balls to tell them how evil they are.

And yeah, I smell a big comeback.

BTW Welcome to our camp!

I SCREAM! YOU SCREAM! WE ALL SCREAM FOR HOWARD DEAN!

Yeah it is my tag line, but I sure like typing it.

15. About the tag line
at the Debate last night some of the staffers asked us to stop that chant because it was not positive. We got louder.

But the best Chant of the night was.

16. As I said two days ago, Dean's comeback will be apparent only by Sunday
that's because of the averaging system of the tracking polls and ofcourse the one day lag.

Besides, I admit to being fully in Dennis' camp on ideology.

Cheers!

39. Hey, thanks for the offer
But I think I might be of more help here in SC (plus I don't have total faith in my car to get to DE and back). Wish I could tho, I've only driven thru Deleware before.

Good luck to you guys up there!

32. I am thinking the same thing
I am also a Kucinich supporter but I am seriously considering changing to Dean. He has passion which I think we need.

The attacks on Dean, in this forum, and in the "real world" has risen my hackels. It does not make want to look at the other candidates instead it has made me look more and more at Dean.

The old adage where there is smoke there is fire applies here IMO and we need a fire IMO to clear out the undergrowth and allow us to grow again.

Many of the candidates are good people but I want a fighter. If they can fight I will support them.

43. Welcome
Glad to have you. You have a point and I've been feeling this too that people don't like it when a person is ganged up on beaten mercilessly. The showing of that clip may be the winning ticket.
