HOWARD DEAN SAYS GOP IS WHITE CHRISTIAN ONLY CLUB
Well, if any Republican had said that "All Democrats cater to minorities and the slackers" they would and should get sued. Now, Dean is going ABOVE and BEYOND in the worse comparisons. Dean more or less said that the GOP is "pretty much a white, Christian party." What race are you Howard? What religion is prominent in America? With quotes like these, it's a wonder more of the Democrats haven't split and formed an independent party. Hey Howard, why not say your "there's more blacks in the hotel kitchen, than in the whole GOP." comments. Howard, so-called Dr. Dean, go back to school.
Here's why Howard is going to lose and why his comments ALIENATE many who ARE NOT Republicans:
1. Look to past election results. Bush won 51% of the Vote, and got about a 3-4 Million vote margin of difference between himself and Kerry. Bush got THE MAJORITY. Clinton never got the majority in 1992 or 1996, he got a plurality thanks to Perot. Yeah, Bush and the GOP do not represent the choice of the majority, Howard! That's why they WON! Gained 5 Senate Seats, and gained 7 seats in The House. That hasn't been done since FDR. Also, Howie, not everyone is in the GOP, but they tend toID more with the GOP on many things, and not with you on much.
2. Christians won't pull for Howard. Calling the Christians fundamentalist freaks is not a way to court their vote. Making them out to be fruitbats is not good. And Howie, if you read your history, the Founding Fathers, for the most part were Christian or Christian-leaning. And in an AP poll, about 80% of Americans consider themselves religious and think religion and God are important. Apparently you don't with your condescending rhetoric. Strike 2.
3. Whites only party? Leave it to a self-hating, RICH WHITE GUY, to pull the race card. Leave it to Howie to more or less say minority conservatives DO NOT COUNT and WILL NOT COUNT as true minorities with morales. OK, so that leaves former Secretary of State and Joint Chiefs General Colin Powell out, right? Condi Rice, current Secretary of State, out. Elaine Chao, Labor Secretary, out. Senator Mel Martinez, a pro-GOP Cuban-American, Latino, out. Henry Kissinger, and Paul Wolfowitz who are Jewish, out. The GOP has actually double African American votes and membership, probably due to Christians in the party, but also Condi and Colin. And let's not forget Federal Court nominee Janice Brown, who finally got voted in. About 45-50% of Latinos voted for Bush. Pro-life, and has Spanish relatives. Yeah, the GOP is so whitebread, huh Ski-Bum?
Well, let's just say, Howard Dean made a fool out of himself and though the GOP is not perfect, is not ran by a self-hating white guy, bent on division. Wonder where the true Democrats are to oust him?
I'm waiting????

Well Kevin, here's something about the GOP, Ken Mehlman, the GOP chair is an Orthodox Jew. The GOP has AFrican Americans, Latinos, Asians, and other ethnicities.
Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, if we concentrate on Bush's delivery method, the meaning goes away. That's nitpicking, otherwise known in military circles as chicken $h#t. Don't be too much of a nitpicker, it's frustrating.
Kevin, Nader didn't make THAT MUCH of a difference. He didn't get 1% of the vote, maybe half a percentage point. Also, Nader hated both guys, Bush and Kerry. He played spoiler in 2000 and 2004, since Perot was spoiler in 1992 and 1996. As John Lennon once said, "Instant Kharma's gonna get you." Gotta love the wisdom of the Beatles. Lennon would have not voted for any of these guys, I believe.
I doubt Bush is self-hating, rather it seemed Dean is ashamed of being a WHITE NEW ENGLANDER, from a once Christian background. There are a number of non-Christian GOP members. Some are agnostic, others Jewish, and some are even Muslim.
Also, Kevin, that poll was from a previous post. 80% feels about correct. That's Catholics and Protestants. Jews are about 5-10%, then Muslims, then Buddhists, and then others, and then there's about 5% which may be agnostic or atheist or unsure..... That's one poll, and I imagine there are others.
Kev, you seem to enjoy putting me through the paces. What are you a debate trainer?
FYI- Bush like many Americans has the "tip of the tongue" syndrome. You have the word ready to say, but then, stammer or stutter fest. I wouldn't fault old W too much.
I'm glad he won, anyway!
:)
Also, Kev, IT COULD BE WORSE.

Didn't Reagan stumble through things? Harry Truman wasn't so eloquent and he was a Democrat. Come on Kev, let's not get soooo wrapped up in command of the English language. If English language is such an important thing, then how come rappers are more respected than English teachers?

Clinton did all kinds of wonderous things with his tongue, well that's what Monica, and Paula, and Gennifer, and yes Hillary all said.....
Yep, I went there....
and yes, Clinton could speak well, so could the following:
1. Adolf Hitler
2. Josef Stalin
3. Mao Tse Tung
4. Ivan The Terrible
5. The Future AntiChrist
6. Napoleon Bonaparte
etc......
