49. If Howard Dean got Rahm's job |
|
I might be able to vote for a democrat. When the democrats in office can't pass legislation to help US, only the corporations, why bother to go to the polls in Nov. Sorry I cannot have any party loyalty. My party left me.
Howard Dean has been treated horribly by this administration and the clintons. But, to me , they are all the same.

They don't all vote the same. You know this. They aren't interchangeable. You also know this. But here's the thing, your vote probably won't change the direction in your election anyway, so keep your easy chair on November 2nd.
I'm in a red state too. I get nothing good in return, except for credentials to bitch. If you stay home, then shut up. That's all I'm saying.

Dean does not represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic party and he will never be the DNC Chairman again.

No one with that position is ever going to be chosen DNC Chairman. Religious bigotry against Muslims is a deal breaker for the party and for most liberal Democrats like me (I'm a born and bred New Yorker, too).

With a beautifully expressed perspective like that, you deserve to be DNC Chairman more than Dean does because you represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party more than he does. I tell you this as a New Yorker whose best friend worked five blocks from Ground Zero on September 11.

Oh. Well. OK then. :freak: I mean, that anti-Dean explanation flies in the face of the evidence available--but since I can't put on my telepathy hat and read voters' minds, I guess we'll take your word for it.
But pray tell, who precisely are accusing of both being a faux progressive and wanting to hand Congress back to the RWers? Or was this ever-so-sly implication simply another attempt to paint those who dare to disagree with the current "STFU about the gay stuff, the economy, and the wars--but remember to show up in November to pull the lever, you dirty hippies" approach to GOTV as somehow being in bed with the Thugs?

This will probably come as a shock to you, but the GOP doesn't attack their base ....
they USE IT . . . to move the GOP and politics to the RIGHT --
Obviously, Obama/Dems aren't interested in moving government to the LEFT -- otherwise,
they'd be using liberal/progressive criticism on issues to move the party to the LEFT -- !!
You might have had a small hint of that when Obama eloped into the White House with DLC/
corporate-Rahm and Wall Street, the banksters and kept the secretive Bernanke on at the
FED keeping taxpayers from knowing where their "bailout" dollars were actually going!
A few more bread crumbs can be found in Obama and Baucus leading the attacks on universal
health care, keeping a single payer system off the table for their health care industry
sponsors. Interesting that Rahm even "crowed' about this in his bragging that they had
"preserved the private health care system for business" -- !!
Did we elect a Democratic president so he'd load a panel with Republicans anxious to destroy
Social Security and Medicare . . . ?
Stop worrying about the "pony" and watch what has to be cleaned up in the stables!

44. The party chair is a different animal when that party is in the White House |
|
When we are in the opposition, the DNC chair is the real party head. When we have the White House, the president is the party head. Howard stepped down because he was right to give Obama to pick the DNC chair. The fact that Obama picked the wrong guy for the job doesn't have any bearing on this.
After the election, Howard was the logical pick for HHS. Only Rahm's grudge holding kept Howard from that position, which is what he really would have liked. Rahm made sure Howard was shut out of the Obama administration, and got instead probably the most important and well-liked Democrat sought after on every talk show there is, free to speak his mind with no inhibiting loyalty to the administration.
Howard has long been of the opinion that younger people need to take over, anyway. He likes that Obama is still under 50. He thinks that he, at 62 (will be in November) is already too old to even consider presidential politics now. Plenty of us think he's wrong, but that's the way he feels about it.
For now, he's content to speak his mind and "raise hell about causes I believe in," as he puts it. He certainly isn't bored. Just trying to catch hold of him is like trying to chase a tornado.
I just wish that Howard would have a say in who is DNC chair. He certainly was the most successful one we've had in a while.
Leave it to Rahm to blow our seemingly invincible juggernaut that we appeared to be after the 2008 election.
Leave it to Howard to remind us of what might have been (or what might still be).

89. I had lunch with him about 6 weeks ago. He hasn't changed his view on all this |
|
And he is, as always, perfectly willing to say what he thinks, and why.
That's probably why he's not in the government now. Can't have people doing saying what they think, can we?

Nothing appears not to be working.
If we get an electoral repreive because of the wing-nut takeover of the other party it will be because of THAT reason and that reason alone.
"Nothing" still does not work for us.
Not in terms of earning popularity with the general public; not in terms of solving real social problems.

Assertive leadership from the grass roots. The DLC corporate stooges are only interested in getting big money from corporate shysters.

75. It ain't gonna happen... |
|
...but it should. Don't know if anybody saw, and perhaps it's been mentioned above, the current DNC head, Kain (or ever how he spells it) on The Daily Show last week. It was pathetic. He whipped out that key-chain/don't give 'em the keys back, thing and Jon Stewart did everything, including laughing at it, that a FauxNews would do to belittle the Dems' lousy efforts at message strategy.
As I watched it I wanted to crawl through the screen and grab both of them - Kain and Stewart - by the neck. If Howard had been there Stewart's rant wouldn't have lasted five seconds. Stewart was griping about the Dems' failure to establish a focused message strategy that would 'win the day'. I was shouting 'Dammit Kain, stop him right there with...'Let me get this effin straight, Jon, you're saying that come November your gonna vote to return Republican's into power - and all that represents - because you don't think we've done a good enough job at messaging? The only message you need to know, and the one you should be hammering here, night-in/night-out, is that these SOBs have done everything in their power to rip the Country apart and given the opportunity will finish the job'...but no, the guy, sheepishly, grinned and allowed Stewart to make him look weak and unprepared. Howard would have had Jon eatin' out of his hand right up 'til 'the moment of Zen'.
