GOP memo re: Dean

[Rose Siding]

They actually seem to believe everything's peachy:

and Dean's response:

Wisconsin for Dean Responds to Republican Plans To Protest Dean Visit Tomorrow
MADISON--Wisconsin for Dean State Coordinator Michael J. Tate issued the following statement today regarding plans by the state Republican party to protest Governor Dean's visit to Wisconsin tomorrow:

"We thank our Republican friends for joining our canned food drive and acknowledging the plight that the Bush economy has visited upon Wisconsin's working families.

"Since our working families couldn't afford to feed themselves at President Bush's $2,000-a-plate lunch in Milwaukee, it's worth noting that Republicans had to come to a Howard Dean event in order to help them.

"What is more repugnant than the Republicans' admission of economic failure is a contest they held awarding prizes for the 'best' poster attacking Governor Dean. The winning slogan reportedly reads 'Dean's a queen.'

It's sad that at a time when Americans are losing jobs at home and our nation its credibility abroad, Republicans spend their time on contests for homophobic slogans.

Governor Dean's campaign is one of grassroots power and inclusion, not one of bigotry and division."

2. GO DEAN!

Cheers for Wisconsin for Dean!

4. Looks like they are gunning for him

He is a threat to Bush.

[bfusco]

6. agree

I agree. He's a threat to Republicans and also Democrats such as Liberman, Kerry and Gephradt. I don't buy any of what Rove claims as wanting Dean to be the candidate to run against. Do you think they would state their wishes if that was the case.

15. Don't Forget

Clark.

9. No doubt! They know he is a threat. But everytime some

rightwing clowns try to gun for Dean, it only brings him more support! Don't you love it?

[janx]

3. partyline...do you have more info about the poster contest and

the people involved?

I read something about it some time ago and cannot remember who they were, etc. Are there links to this information?

And this is good

Editorial: A tale of two very different candidates

snip>
The choice will be between two different visions of America's future: one of elites gathering behind closed doors to decide what they will do next to working families in places like Wisconsin, the other of citizens gathering out in the open to help those working families.

8. Thanks so much. It looks as if the Dane Co. GOP wants

to gain media attention from this event, no?

[Rose Siding]

10. Not necessarily

The paper is "Wisconsin's Progressive Newspaper". If that's true, I doubt they do the GOP's bidding.

[janx]

12. Right, but the news release--where was it distributed?

?

7. Dean would make a great President, IMHO.

I feel like a kid in a candy store....which one to choose?

11. thanks for posting this

I'll be sending it to a couple of meet-up buddies.

hahahahahaha

14. How incredibly tacky...

Republicans are. The poster thing really does show they're afraid-otherwise, they would ignore him. The idea of collecting food for the hungry to contrast with Bush's $2000 dinners was genius. I wish more candidates would do things like that-very good publicity.

Congrats, you guys. :toast:
