Maybe We Should "Run" With Dean's Mouth!!!
From Fox News to Inside Politics to several other snipits I picked up over the last few days, it seems that now the talk is "gasp, maybe Dean's 'mouth' is a ploy, a plot, a strategy". If these rabble are getting paranoid, then I say we shut our pie holes in this party and roll with Doctor Dean!!!! Despite their protests, they seem very, very concerned and worried about our mouthpiece ('scuse the pun).

All I know is that after celebrating by dancing on the ceiling as the McCain vs. Frist split began to break apart the repuke party, I thought I would explode when I saw our various "wannabe president" darlings decide that if the repukes were splitting apart we better get in there and show them that we can self-destroy better than they can!!!--jeesh. Time to stop pooping in our pants when one of 'ours' attacks republicans because we are afraid certain republicans won't love us and won't vote for us (clue: they don't and they won't).

Might as well shoot from the mouth because we don't have anything to lose---god knows we've lost our asses six times over by being good little lambs!!!

1. The Doctor knows
exactly what he is doing. Look ... he is saying things about the Rethugs we all wanted someone to say. Its getting attention ... the idea is getting out there ... while it may not serve Dean's presidential ambitions (if any remain), it nonetheless serves his broader purpose.

This may cost Dean a lot, but it costs the Democratic Party relatively little and it gets some harsh, but necessary, words right out there.

2. I like Dean's mouth
Edited on Fri Jun-10-05 07:58 PM by libnnc
He doesn't get lost in the "spin". He won't let reporters paraphrase him--always calls them on it ON CAMERA. They can't stand that. He won't play the media's game. I loved what he said at Harry Reid's press conference--about not allowing the repugs or the reporters to frame the debate. I like tough talk. Dean speaks for me.

"DEAN JUST TOLD THEM THE TRUTH AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS HELL"

by Thom Hartmann

Dean Just Told Them The Truth and They Thought It Was Hell
This morning I called the Democratic National Committee to tell them that I support Howard Dean's modern-day version of Harry Truman's dictum that, "I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell."

Timid and fearful Democrats are trembling on national television as they beg Dr. Dean to stop pointing out the hypocricy and misinformation efforts of Republicans in office and Conservatives in the media.

"He doesn't speak for me," they say, apparently longing for the days when their spokesman was taking big checks from multinational corporations, signing corporate-friendly trade deals, and defending sex scandals.

The simple truth is that corporate interests have hijacked our nation, theocrats want to take us back to the days of the Salem Witch Trials (with gays playing the part of witches), and the "stars" in the corporate "mainstream" media have been so terrified by Bush administration threats of loss of access (which could then lead to the loss of their own 6- and 7-figure income jobs) that they perpetuate administration lies and tremble at the thought of actually asking a tough follow-up question when Bush prevaricates."



Much more..

8. zidzi---did the "tremblers" stop to perhaps realize something??
These Dem "presidential wannabes" perhaps should look in a mirror. They want to blame Dean for some of the big donors not writing fat checks. Did it ever occur to them that they are not writing the checks because they look at this motley crew of re-treads, dragging their baggage behind them, and think "why waste my money on people who have LOSER written in ten foot letters above their heads"!!! Dean doesn't have much to work with in trying to sell this group. We have no chance if we don't dump this tired old politicians and get some fresh blood pumping. We have Dems who have been around for awhile who haven't taken their shot at the big time yet and we desperately need to start looking in their ranks.

"LET DEAN BE MEAN"

Thursday, June 9, 2005

Let Dean Be Mean

"Leading Democrats, including John Edwards, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Dianne Feinstein, have felt it necessary in the last week to distance themselves from Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean. True, Dean has spoken bluntly, as is his wont, about Republicans, particularly the Republican party leadership. One wonders though where these upright Democrats find the time and energy to publicly criticize one of their own during such trying times.

Further evidence, as if any more was needed, has emerged establishing that the war in Iraq was sold under false pretenses, but Democrats are speaking out against Dean.

A major news magazine has been discredited to divert attention from confirmed instances of Koran desecration in Guantanamo Bay prison, but Democrats are speaking out against Dean.

Bush has nominated for our new U.N. Ambassador an individual who virulently opposes the very existence of the United Nations, but Democrats are speaking out against Dean."

12. Dean is modern day FDR! My mother said this to me few weeks ago!
My Mother is 87 years old and she met FDR when she was working on his campaign... she was very young at the time.

5. This country is so prissy the truth seems like a 'mouth'.
Dean's comments are nothing to get excited about.

6. I have heard many people say that we should adopt the attitude.
Edited on Fri Jun-10-05 08:23 PM by Carolab
And the scream, so they can't make fun of it anymore.

QUESTION: How do YOU treat a bully? I BULLY THEM BACK! They back down and cry like the little babies they really are.

10. Sick and tired... Go Howard!!
I, for one, am sick of the "helpful advice" from the republicans regarding people like Howard Dean. They're getting nothing more from him than a taste of their own medicine, and they don't like it one bit.

If anything, we need more people like Howard Dean out there.

11. Dems should make the Dean scream their
rallying cry. Strike fear into the opposition. Every time they hear it, they'll know people are 100% behind what Dean is doing.

13. YES, the "rebel cry"---work with me here
I'm seeing it. I'm tasting it. We market it as the rebirth of the famous "rebel" yell of the Civil War. We make it the rally cry of the middle class and the poor against the rich who are being fed by the republicans at our expense. Now THIS is something that could be sold below the Mason-Dixon Line in Jesus Land!!!! We have to work a few guns and some hang faced hunting dogs into the picture though and perhaps a truck or two and maybe even drag out the old Confederate flag. They might just buy it...they just might....
