Yes, Gov. Dean, we know what the repukes are...

[cynatnite]

White bigoted neocons who have hijacked christianity.

Why not really go out there and talk about the criminal and murderous regime that FIXED the intel which has cost thousands of lives??

Why not attack this regime's willingness to torture innocent people who are rounded up like the Jews were?

Gov. Dean, why not really go out on a limb and blast the press for not doing their job?

My gripe is that Dean isn't fighting the fight I think he should be fighting.

1. I can agree with that.

That is exactly what I would like to hear.

[seshers]

2. I'd like to echo this sentiment.

Take the fight to them. Fight fire with fire. Define them and make it stick. We can do it. We have the TRUTH on our side.

6. I agree

and it seems it's mostly the politicians inside the beltway -- and NOT the rank and file Demos like me -- who shy away from endorsing what he says. Howard Dean speaks for ME, which I like, even if he doesn't speak for Lieberman.

3. Ok, stick with Joe Biden and John Edwards

Dean is just warming up with the national media and he's doing a great job.

4. Anytime he tries to fight the fight

His own party moves against him. I wish that Biden, Edwards and few others would just pipe down. I am happier with Dean when he says what he means and goes for the jugular. The "mainstream" boys are afraid he'll say something true and they back away from him as fast as possible.

5. Ever hear of "baby steps"?

People are barely tolerating the light stuff. You really think they can swallow what you're preaching??

Truth is that Chairman Dean is walking a fine line as it is. I love it - he needs to keep it up. But since 9/11, our party has been fairly muted, and we've been getting better over time. It has to continue that way. You get people accustomed to hearing that they're dishonest, then you take it a step further, and then another step. You cannot do it all at once.
