HOWARD DEAN RILES OBAMA AND MCCAIN
Last night, at a Rock The Vote Dinner, Freshman Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, a Democrat, is the latest Democrat to toss water onto Dean's fire.
Obama said this: "As somebody who is a Christian myself, I don't like it when people use religion to divide, whether that is Republican or Democrat," Obama said. "I think in terms of his role as party spokesman, [Dean] probably needs to be a little more careful and I suspect that is a message he is going to be getting from a number of us," Obama explained.
"We are at a time in our country's history that inclusive language is better than exclusive language," he added.
Well, Barack, I wish you were the spokesman for your party. At least then you guys would sound reasonable. However, Senator, no one seems to convey this sense of national unity to the grass roots radicals. Howard seems to feed off something or a group of someones. Tell that to the hardcore raddies, Obama.
Barack's comments are ironic, as at the Democratic Convention, August 2004, he said that Bush was using religion to divide Americans, and that there is more than one route to Heaven. To paraphrase, Obama made a more eloquent and reasonable sounding swipe at Bush, then. However, it seems to be the same rhetoric. Oddly Obama and others wave their fingers. I take it though, that their admonishing Dean is not for unity or moderate messages, rather to save their big donators and maybe take a have it both ways approach. Didn't John Kerry try that.
Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona seemed pleased that Dean had made the latest in a series of controversial statements.
"Howard Dean is the gift that keeps on giving," McCain told Cybercast News Service outside the Rock the Vote event.
McCain seemed satisfied at Dean's harsh rhetoric and the potential of alienating tens of millions of moderate to independent voters. Why not? McCain fancies a run in 2008, and feels he will get George W Bush's blessing to do so. However, could McCain be a GOP hopeful as he has sided against his own party and his own grass roots before? He may be likely to do so, if the DNC runs Hillary.
Obama pleaded that no divisions worsen, but it's too late for that.
