Why the Party needs Donnie Fowler and not Howard Dean

[Sandpiper]

Friends, we're in perilous times. The GOP controls every branch of government at the federal level. Bush is looking to gut Social Security, and break the back of the Democratic Party.

That is why it is absolutely the wrong time for a strong, progressive, opposition voice like Howard Dean. We need compromise and capitulation to survive the next four years. And that is why we need a little known, non-entity like Donnie Fowler to guide the party through these troubled times.


Thank you, and God bless America.

5. DLC="Don't Lead, Capitulate"?

:evilgrin:

[Zhade]

12. YES! You nailed it.

That's a keeper.

6. This is the consensus of Zionist, the RNC and George Will

[bluestateguy]

7. He was on "Unfiltered" he other day

He seems like a nice guy and not all of his ideas are wrong, but he still comes from the DC consultant culture and seems sympathetic to the DLC's non-confrontational strategy. That strategy had it's place in the 90's, but this is not the time for 1990's strategies in the 1984 world that Bush is trying to create.

[Sandpiper]

13. My biggest objection is that he's a nobody

George W. Bush is the face of the GOP.

We need someone with star power to be the face and voice of the Democratic Party. Donnie Fowler doesn't have that.

[MsTryska]

22. i thought he was anti-DC consultant culture?

he kept going on about intellectuals sitting in fancy salons all day not understand what was going on outside the beltway.

[merwin]

8. COMPRIMISE? ARE YOU KIDDING?

Bush's idea of comprimise is agreeing to what he says. There will be no comprimise with him.

We need to be 100% for our core beliefs, and Dean will get us there. If we start comprimising (which actually means giving in 100% to what they want), then the next candidate will be called a flip-flop in the next election.

11. Ahhhhhh! But of course -

thanks for clearing that up for me! :crazy:

15. You had me there for a second....

*disconnects imaginary hose from verbal flamethrower*

My satire detector's batteries must be dead....

[jrthin]

16. Exactly. We have seen

just how effective compromise and capitulation have work. Why, don't we control the Senate and Congress? now? Okay, I'll remove my head out of my tush.

[Rockerdem]

17. Goodbye, Donnie. It wasnt nice knowing you.

Deans the man. Its a wrap.

[blm]

18. It's unnecessary to trash Fowler, Sandpiper. Fowler is a really good guy,

and a real hard worker. I am supporting Dean based on the need to attack media and BBV, but, I'm not going to lie and claim Fowler is some "nonentity" and doesn't deserve a chance. That tactic is just plain childish and is the reason that so many will turn a deaf ear.

fer chrissakes, Dean is going to be the head of the DNC and you can't show an ounce of graciousness? Dean is going to need all the unity he can get, and will be tapping into his centrist nature to accomplish it, and it will do him no good for any of his supporters to keep kicking at perceived enemies.

[w13rd0]

25. Wow...

...during the primaries, I never would have imagined I'd say what I'm about to say: "blm, I agree with you completely about Dean and the lack of need to attack anyone at this point."

Dean is going to be the chair of the DNC, and we're going to need all those "who share our goals" in the coming fights. We're already rejecting the DLC approach, as are the voting delegates of the DNC, we don't need to crush them under heel and humiliate as well, that might be emotionally satisfying, but it's not necessary.

20. You hooked me

...and reeled me in.

[Cleita]

26. Why the party needs Howard Dean and not Donnie Fowler.

Buh, bye DLC.

Many Democrats that I know, including myself, are pledging not to send the DNC any money in the future, if Howard Dean is not the chair.

[rniel]

27. Well my money will go elsewhere

if dean doesn't get it I don't want any part of the democratic party anymore. I'll go to some 3rd party.

[rooboy]

28. DLC = Democratic Losers' Club. n/t

[democrank]

29. Howard Dean? Sweet Jesus, no.

Just when we`re trying to bring out the Red America in all of us, some party fools are thinking about Howard Dean for DNC chair? The Reds won`t like him one bit because Dean claims Osama took down the towers, not Saddam. Now what fool would think like that? Dean also claims children should have affordable medicines. What does he think this is, some kind of commune?

I say we stick with the staus quo. I`m proud that our current leaders get to spend their weekends in a limo rather than making a spectacle of themselves in a soup kitchen. Onward and upward. Time to walk across the golden corporate bridge of opportunity and leave the "I feel your pain" stuff to the whiners.

[lojasmo]

30. I was going to come in here and slap you silly.....

Good one!

[doodadem]

31. Go Howie!

I keep remembering, right after the Democratic primaries, some interview about how, the Repugs were so relieved when Kerry got the nod, because they knew they could bag him. They were scared shitless of Dean, because he was so much the opposite of Bush.
I must admit, I did not vote for Mr. Dean at the time. Like most of us, I felt like we needed to get behind Kerry and oust Bush at all costs.
I think Howie is going to make a wonderful chairman, and put us in a much better position for '08.

[tavalon]

32. Thank you for the asterisk

I just woke up and I thought you were handing out the usual democrat apologist, let's just all get along crapola.

[PassingFair]

33. Snickering quietly...

VERY funny!

[dvaravati]

34. I almost fell for it

hehe.

[n2mark]

35. the other day I

heard Donnie Fowler on ARR, he sounded like the typical political pundit. This is my opinion only, but he seemed to talk around issues and did not answer the questions. He did not impress me.

On the otherhand, Dean speaks out, answers questions, but
gosh dare we have some one who speaks out and is honest? Oh my goodness, the Dems may have to stand up for something, is this what we want? Can we handle this?
