Dean said the attorneys were fired for not doing a good enough job of suppressing votes.

[madfloridian]

He was on the Tavis Smiley show last night in a very excellent interview.

Tavis Smiley: The Democrats did not succeed depending on how one defines success, the measure did not pass but Chuck Schumer from New York says the measure was successful because the majority of the Senate voted, supported that no-confidence vote against the Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. The president is still standing firm behind his man.

Gov. Dean: This president is more dishonest than Richard Nixon. He is using the Justice Department to suppress the vote. The attorneys were fired because they didn't do a good enough job at suppressing the vote. It is outrageous. In fact, one of them did his job well enough he was investigating complaints about the Republican's suppression to vote. The Justice Department is becoming a laughingstock and George Bush makes Richard Nixon look like an honest man. He really does. What's going on is the disgrace. To use the Justice Department, which is to be an independent force in the enforcement of justice in America, to suppress the vote of your opponents is a disgrace and Alberto Gonzales should not be in office.

That is about the clearest way that could be said.

1. The right wing hate and disinformation machine will prove the Governors comments

to be true by trashing the man for them. They always have that reaction when one speaks the truth.

Governor Dean for Attorney General?
General Clark for Secretary of State?

If any candidates are peaking in here there are a couple of suggestions I'd like you to heed.

2. Also, Rove needed Dem 'vote fraud' headlines to divert attention from very REAL election fraud

committed by BushInc. That way the day they finally get CAUGHT and exposed, they point to bogus Dem voter fraud stories to make it seem like an even wash to the casual news audience and voters.

3. This is why I love Dean!

He tells the truth in clear, easy to understand terms and he's not afraid of "offending" the GOP by drawing attention to their guilt. He doesn't "tip-toe" around the issues or use pleasant euphemisms - he calls a liar a liar and a crook a crook! :D

4. I agree - this states it very clearer.

This is what it is all about.

5. Every day I wish Dean was president.

I'm still bitter over what happened in the primaries.

8. People have been wanting someone to say it plainly.

And when someone does, it is basically ignored.

13. nixon does look like

a naive school boy next to the machiavellian techniques of the bushits and the cheneyaks.

My hat's off to the Governor and all the patriots out there who must be getting very frustrated trying to get all the people on board with what is actually happening to our country at the hands of these traitors who will never let go of their power until they are dragged away in chains..kicking and screaming.."I'M THE DECIDER", I'M THE DICK OF DEATH AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!".

[madfloridian]

18. To make Nixon look good, it must be pretty bad.

George Bush does make Richard Nixon look like an honest man. I do love his honesty and ability to cut to the chase.
