Excerpt from FOX News Sunday includes a number of comments from Howard Dean.

[Wizard777]

1. Obama also needs to realize it's not up to him to rehabilitate the Republicans public image

It's not his job the rescue them from irrelevancy by insisting upon bipartisanship. He needs to get health care wrapped up before the Republicans turn it into an election issue.

[veritasvg]

10. But...

...that's what you don't understand. It's Obama's responsibility (at least in part) to be a steward of the party which elected him.

If he and Pelosi and Reid simply push this through, they'll destroy the party.

There won't be a Democratic party to worry about and that's why he's backing off. If this is pushed through without a bipartisan majority, the right would probably throw a billion dollars or more at the 2010 and 2012 elections. You don't want that to happen. Trust me.

[Wizard777]

19. If they would have pushed this through early. It would be yesterdays news.

The realities of what is would be overcoming the repulicans terrorism and exploitation of what could be. People would see there is no death panels. They still have their private insurance etc. The Republicans are in a fight for the life of the party. They aren't going to take it easy on us regardless of what we do. They're using this issue to regain traction and relevance.

2. "Use it or lose it" is true in a lot of areas. Dean is great here! k&r nt

[PassingFair]

3. True love.

Howard kicks ALL ass, as usual.

:loveya:

[GivePeaceAchance]

4. He should of run again Dean clearly is the solution always right every time.

[Old Codger]

5. If

If I had to choose right now I would vote for him over Obama ..... But I am still hoping Obama will show us he has been doing lot in the background and has it covered... I think we will know within the next couple of months ..

6. How can you tell Newt Gingrich is lying?

His lips are moving!

That joke never grows old when it comes to Newt, who simply excels at making shit up. No, Newt, EVERY SINGLE POLL shows the majority of voters want real healthcare reform.

[Piewhacket]

14. Those are his lips? I thought they were an anatomical anomaly.

[Divine Discontent]

20. I had to skip through to Dean's parts, I listened to the senator for a few seconds, but mostly Dean

can't stand to listen to the former speaker of the house - he's a complete and utter liar.

[tomm2thumbs]

7. great video and worth watching thru the end - Fox became The Dean Show!

Good for him.

[Why Syzygy]

8. I could watch if everyone other than Dean were edited out.

I loathe NEWT! :wtf:

This is how he got back on teevee:

When Gingrich decided to resurrect his political career, he decided—the Republican Party is controlled by the Christian right. He’s not a stupid man. “What do I do? I have to confess all of my sins by going on James Dobson’s radio show,” catering to the culture of personal crisis that lurks behind the right’s politics of resentment. And so, that’s exactly what he did. He basically prostrated himself before Dobson, who has, you know, no political—supposedly has no political standing. And the next thing you know, he’s back on the national stage. He’s welcomed at the Christian right gatherings. You can see him on Fox News now. So, that shows, you know, how powerful Dobson is. But it’s not just Dobson; it’s a mentality that defines conservatism. (...)

12. Dobson's the man to take down

Gotta get him in a scandalous scandal. This is the second Untouchables quote I've used today:

I'm gonna tell you something. Somebody messes with me, I'm gonna mess with with him. Somebody steals from me, I'm gonna say you stole. Not talk to him for spitting on the sidewalk. Understand? Now, I have done nothing to harm these people but they are angered with me, so what do they do, doctor up some income tax, for which they have no case. To speak to me like me, no, to harass a peaceful man. I pray to god if I ever had a grievance I'd have a little more self respect. One more thing, you have an all out prize fight, you wait until the fight is over, one guy is left standing. And that's how you know who won.

[Why Syzygy]

17. It starts with an idea. I'm on that wagon with you.

:hi: Welcome to DU!

We must bring down Dobson and any other that are tainting our citizenry processes.

13. Lamar Alexander's troughing slip of the tongue

"Buying insurance across party lines"

ah, yes that is certainly clear.

translation: I wanna piece of that too!

:kick: QPQ

--Just more pigs at the trough

[Piewhacket]

9. Howard Dean shows what it means to be a LEADER in the Democratic Party.

[maglatinavi]

11. Dean and hc

Dean is right ... what a shame! ... Obama doesn't ... I feel very sad ... Obama doesn't have the cojones needed for leadership ...

[DFW]

15. Two things are clear from this clip

Howard told Wallace to let him talk if he was to go on that show, and second, that Obama
made a HUGE mistake in letting Rahm Emmanuel talk him into excluding Howard from the
administration.

Howard is now a private citizen, not Secretary of HHS.

So how come the media, from Fox to MSNBC, wants to hear from private citizen Howard Dean over
Obama's cabinet Secretary who would oversee any reform in health care? Hasn't anyone in the
White House figured out that people get Howard because what he has to say is what people
want to hear, and it's what people understand.

Oh, and if people want to hear Howard more than they want to hear anyone from the administration,
or even the Senate or the House, DOESN'T THAT TELL ANYONE SOMETHING?????????

Oops, sorry. I guess not...........
