Like it or not, Dean is right to brand Republicans.
Edited on Sun Jun-05-05 05:59 PM by dave29
Most of the Republicans I know don't even know what their party stands for. Dean is speaking their language, which is blunt, and often inflammatory, but it gets the point across.

Think about what has happened to the word "liberal" in the last 10 years, and tell me Howard Dean is wrong to push back.

Is Tom Delay corrupt? Yes. We should shout it from the roof-tops. We don't have time to waste playing nice. Look at the affluent members of the Republican party. Is it wrong to point out how out of touch they are with the electorate? HELLO? They are completely out of touch.

I for one am tired of the Republican agenda, and I commend Howard Dean for speaking, ONCE AGAIN, truth to power. The only people he is alienating are those that don't want to ruffle feathers and would rather play nice and lose - again.

We have to wake up the electorate and define what it is they should be voting for. Howard Dean should be commended for taking the fight to the Republican Party -it is LONG, LONG past due that they be framed for what they truly are.

5. Dean is framing the arguments
in language that the person on the street can understand. He needs to have other Democrats in leadership positions back him up.

7. Today Senator Dodd did back Dean up on tv.
I believe it was on ABC with Steph.... Why is that not important to repeat in the media along with Edwards and Bidens comments?

The republicans have done that for a long time so now it's our turn. I'm glad we have Dean. :bounce:

9. Hell yes he is
I agree too. I saw him on Russert and he tried to pin Dean down about that and Dean was saying it's the leadership. Not people in general who are republicans although there are a lot of them too. But I'm glad too. No more bull!
