Why are republicans so concerned about the future of the dem party?

[Cocoa]

I keep hearing them soberly warning us against Howard Dean, saying how bad it is for our party.

But I wonder, how sincere is this concern?

It kind of reminds me of when the warmongers pretend to care about the Iraqis.

1. oh pleeez, whatever you do, don't throw me in that b'rar patch!

They must think that we're the biggest bunch of chumps who ever lived if they think we're going to take their advice at face value.

2. I agree

Why listen to the enemy when you know they are anti-democrat? Everybody has an opinion about Dean and he made a good point on his speech Saturday to the DNC. It's not just his chairmanship, but all of ours. We're all to work together to make our party greater. I wouldn't trust a republican on this (a Bush republican that is). Why get advice from them? Why not get advice from fellow democrats? So far all the dems I know here and other boards everybody seems happy with Dean.

6. LOL! Yes, and the scary thing is that some Dems will actually listen to

what those fuckfaces have to say.

3. Sneering at Dem tactical decisions a way to marginalize the party

as incompetents. If you don't want to dispute the substance of the dem party, talk all day about tactics, which, by the way, the cable news shitheads will gladly let you do.

5. they want to minimize Dean's appeal to their own youth

A lot of them could start jumping ship, especially with a draft looming in the distance. Let them laugh--ours is the last laugh.

4. The Dems are the only hope for sanity....and I like Dr Dean

The Koolaid drinking neocons and efungelicals don't want the Democrats to succeed so they plant these ridiculous seeds of doubt in the MSM. Dr Dean is an intelligent and energetic force as DNC Chair and I salute the Democrat's choice. :toast:

7. They're freaking out that we may have found a backbone.

Or at least some sort of new direction.

[IndyPriest]

8. Because they're scared shitless about what it might become. n/t

[Nickster]

10. You got it!

I love that Howard Dean, I wish I had paid more attention to him during the Presidential Primaries, but I think we really needed him in the DNC chair more than anything. I held my breath all day Saturday waiting for them to say it was official. I felt a huge burden taken off my shoulders when they said he was the man.

9. i think that they think it deflects attention away from them

and their assholery---loook over there, don't look here.

[zbdent]

11. They need someone to blame the world's ills upon

"Deficit spending"? Those damn "special-interest Democrats" (hard to do when you're in the minority and the pRez vetoes anything authored by someone with a D after their name).
