Here is Dean's stance on national security....the real thing....

[madfloridian]

Others have misinterpreted articles or misquoted to make him sound as though he thought we needed to be more militaristic. This is good article on his Sunday rally at the SEIU hall in NYC. You need to register, but it is free.

He has said this many times, but this is a good summary:

"Regarding foreign policy, Dean said that we need a "national security policy consistent with American morality. It's not enough to have a strong military. We need to regain the moral high ground we had before this administration took over."

CAMPAIGN CONFIDENTIAL
By E.J. KESSLER
February 4, 2005

"Hailing Howard: About 400 Democratic activists came out Sunday to hear former Vermont Governor Howard Dean in Manhattan at SEIU 1199's union hall."

He has said this before, but I am very glad he continues to say it now even though many party insiders cringe.

"We're not the pro-abortion party; we're the party where women are allowed to make up their own mind. We're not the party of gay marriage," he said, but the party of "fairness" for every American; not the party of raising taxes, but "the party where offshore corporations pay their fair share."

HD receiving some buttons from supporters at Sunday's rally in NY.

1. I want one of those buttons!

This little news "confidential" made me cry. This is the way it should be layed out for those swing voters who get caught up in sound bites from the rnc.


Oh, and Beautiful on the quote about our National Security, madfloridian!
