Howard Dean is a lovely Man...Common Man even though he was

[KoKo]

"Priviledged" so was Roosevelt. He's now on C-Span I and he's being the diplomat. BUT Dean has given us in Red States Money for Grassroots...that Disgusting Lobbyist MC Auliff was out there at the "Beefmaster Steak House" with High Rollers...selling us Dems "Down the River."

He's completely trashing the "Social Security" Pig Fest proposed by the Repugs. It's good to see him on this. He's going into the Wall Street Factor and remember his Dad was "Dean, Witter, Reynolds?"

Democrats need to stand up for "Pension Portability." (My Beef is that WHO THE HELL get's Pension's anymore)

He said Ken Lay shouldn't be allowed to trash Pension Funds. He says ENRON trashed all their "pension Funders."

Says it's "STEALING" to let Pension Funds go down it doesn't belong to them it belongs to the American Worker and needs to be run and overseed by the Average American.

"Culture of Corruption" in Washington, Dean SAYS! He hits DeLay with the Culture of Power & Abuse in Washington.

He says DEMS NEED TO BE THE PARTY OF REAL FINANCE REFORM!

He says send us $25 Bucks on the Internet! He says we will BUY BACK CORPORATE AMERICA $25.00 at a TIME.

He Says Repugs are ALL AGAINST VOTING REFORM! He say ALL THESE VOTES NEED TO BE COUNTED.

Administration is ERODING DEMOCRACY. He says Protection of Minority is imperative for America.

Trashing Bill Frist...says he "Doesn't think a "Minority of Americans are entitiled to any say in governance of America!"

He says we needs "Instant Runoff Voting." Move Voting to another DAY..and he says we shouldn't wait online for Eight Hours! He says that alot of Repugs have never made and honest living in their lives and Dems work for a living and they need times that are available for them to vote.

Says we need to vote like Oregon where you can vote ANYTIME...and not have to dump you kids or sqeeze it all in to vote.

SAY...DEMOCRATS ARE THE PARTY OF CHANGe. Repugs Offer DARK VISION OF AMERICA.

REPUGS put us into war over lies and that Mercury is POISONING OUR CHILDREN!

Says he's met with EVANGELICALS AND THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR KIDS!

He says Evangelicals say their leadership isn't taking care of their KIDs and that we DEMS SHOULD NOT BE ASHAMED TO SUPPORT HONEST GOVERNMENT!

He SAID STRONG DEFENSE IS A BALANCED BUDGET ....REPUGS ARE DEFICIT AND SPEND....DEFICIT AND SPEND!"

1. thanks for this - Dean is an inspiration. And buying back corporate

America $25 at a time is within our ability.

[KoKo]

2. Dean says WE ARE THE PARTY WHO OFFERS OPTIMISM AND HOPE!

He says IMHO..."Walk on the Sunny Side of the Street."

Such a difference from the Bush DARK SIDE! DARK DIRTY, CRUEL and DOWN, DEPRESSING.

Dean is addressing Asthma, Pollution, Bad Housing and all the rest that keep our kids sick and our population unhealthy.

3. Dean says "STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE! Precinct by Precint

we will TAKE BACK AMERICA! Stand up for what you BELIVE...

4. Thank you, KoKo!

That was a grrreat synopsis of what you are evidently seeing on tv.

Dean came from very wealthy intelligent parents but I think that is even better that he is out there working for the people.

I remember having to defend him in the ol' days because he "was born with a silver spoon in his mouth"..:)

5. Did he really say, "Culture of corruption?"

It's VERY good. The Dems need to run with that one.

[KoKo]

10. Yes, he did. amazing...

[Eloriel]

6. Fabulous. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I must've jsut missed the re-broadcast, but you did an awesme job.

[KoKo]

7. They re-broadcast him on C-Span just before they aired the night segment

of Campaign to Take Back America, live with the Bloggers.

I was doing a running thread trying to get all his points in...so please excuse the typo's etc. I couldn't type fast enough to keep up with all of it because he was making so many excellent points.

I should have put that it my subject line or post...where it was, but glad you figured out that I was doing a running list of highlights from his speech. Thanks. :-)'s

8. Good post, Koko, but just to make sure there's no confusion, Dean's father

worked for Dean, Witter, Reynolds, but was NOT the Dean of the company name.

[KoKo]

9. Sorry about that.....Hope it doesn't destroy my credibility on the rest of

the thread. I remember big discussions about that when he was a candidate...brain lapse.

[NYCGirl]

11. Certainly it doesn't, Koko. I thought you were merely pointing out Dean's

father worked for the company, but I know that others might misunderstand. Dr. Dean's family was very well-off, but not to the scions of industry standards of well-off!
