Dean speaks to the little people

[Melodybe]

Poor people know that we need a change. We need a president tht is actually going to DO the things he says. Dean is honest and poor people believe him.

Clark and Edwards speak to them too.

All three are relitive outsiders. Dean being a Gov. in a small state, Clark is a millitary man, and Edwards is the son of a mill worker. Kerry does not care about us. He is not speaking to us.

1. The Little People? Oh really?

Like that "little people" deli owner who Dean & camp stiffed for almost $1000?

[ProudToBeLiberal]

4. that wasn't from a credible source

Give me a link to a credible sorce like the guardian and then I'll comment on what you said earnestly

[Maddy McCall]

2. Poor people = little people???

I won't even waste my time to respond to this thread.

[poskonig]

3. Kerry has replaced Clark

as the bad guy of the week for Dean supporters. It seems whoever is the greatest threat to Dean at the moment is the devil.

[isbister]

5. I disagree

And I also disagree about Dean being honest.

[no name no slogan]

6. Dean speaks to them, Kucinich speaks FOR THEM

...mainly becuase he IS one of them! His net worth is between $0-$30k. He grew up poor, even living in cars TWICE during his youth. He scrubbed floors to pay for his tuition to Catholic school. He worked TWO FULL-TIME JOBS to get his college degrees.

Dean may speak to them, but Dennis Kucinich truly speaks FOR THEM!

[EllieDem]

8. Please Governor Dean

pay back the deli owner. $1000 is a lot. This looks almost as bad as Hillary stiffing the waitress in upstate New York. This makes our whole party look bad.

11. Try one more time.

Maybe someone will believe you that the Dean camp intentionally stiffed the guy. Go ahead, give it a couple more posts.

7. Let's tear him apart and see just what he is really made of!!

A certain man had a goose

That never failed to produce,

For daily, lo and behold,

She laid him an egg — all gold!

But the man had a miserable itch

To become very rapidly rich.

So he killed the goose, like a dunce,

Since he thought that he all at once

Would get all the goose's gold treasure.

But dead the bird gave him no pleasure.

"There's no gold inside her," said he.

"Just a simple old goose — like me!"

9. Dean speaks to a small slice of the populace

and that's his problem. Upper crust liberal "elites" who are predominantly white, college educated (in college) with limited broad appeal. I think he gave an excellent speech tonight and I admire him personally, but I don't feel that he "speaks" to many people in this country, except he has the ability to energize a narrow band of people.

10. leprachauns?

[Maddy McCall]

13. Aye, me wee laddie!

[buckeye1]

12. We can't hear it.

Dean is a blowhard. I don't like stockbrokers or doctors. I don't respect million $ "gifts" from parents. I could go on. Anyone that beats Bush will have much more important things to do.

1. Get out of Iraq and leave it as a functioning nation.
2. Make the economy function again.
3. investigate the crimes since 1999. (and well before)

We could go on and on. if we win,I can only pray for the winner.

BTW. The Mods worked hard for a spell checker,please use it.

14. Don't critize Dean for money! Kerry has way more and was skull and bones

for christ's sake! Kerry is as inside as it gets!

Kerry got more than a million dollar gift. Don't lie about Kerry being "in touch" with the working man. He man grew up the the Kennedy's for christ's sake.

At least Dean, Edwards, amd Clark have actually spent time with the little people. Edwards and Clark worked there way up, and Dean has spent time working with migrants, in Harlem, and lived in a rural state. Kerry has been living the real high life,

Kerry is as elitist as it gets, this makes me ill.

I don't trust him and his record is as risky as it gets!

[DemBones DemBones]

16. Do you have a link to prove that Kerry got more than $1 million

from his parents? ( I don't know how much he got, haven't seen any details on that. I think, BTW, that Dean has gotten more than $1 from his parents, including a large payment on his house.)

Kerry married Teresa Heinz, the widow of the late Senator John Heinz, who inherited a fortune when her first husband was killed in a plane crash. So he married money but I don't know if he was given as much by his parents as Howard Dean was. Nor do I really know that it matters.

As for Howard Dean having worked "with migrants, in Harlem, and lived in a rural state," and John Kerry" living the real high life," you are completely ignoring the fact that Kerry enlisted in the Navy and volunteered for service in Viet Nam. You talk with a lot of the "little people" when you serve in the military.

And Kerry always does well in blue-collar districts, according to news sources. He was expected to do well among blue-collar voters in NH, they said, since he connects with blue-collar voters in Massachusetts.

Kerry has a good, liberal record in the Senate, and if he's the nominee, will probably get more votes than Dean would, considering Dean's high unfavorable ratings.

I prefer Dennis Kucinich, and I'll support him til the last dog barks, but I'll vote for John Kerry if he's the nominee. He's fought against the BFEE for years and I think he'd make a much better president than Dean or Clark. I hope Kerry will pay attention to Dennis's platform and tack left. This party and country have been steadily moving right and need correcting!

15. Dean talks to leprechauns?

Looking for the Irish vote, I suppose. :7
