Even the Dean HATERS Here Have to Like THIS Picture

[Closer]

[Democrats unite]

1. I would not say Dean Haters...

I would say non Dean supporters.

[w4rma]

10. 'Dean haters' is not equal to 'non Dean supporters'. It is a subset. (n/t)

[w13rd0]

2. No, they don't have to...

...and they'll likely find some reason to bitch about it. Nevertheless, can you imagine having to drive by that daily on your way to work. That is, if you haven't been laid off. I was just at a location where they had pictures of the el Petite Dictator all over the place. I had a hard time holding my tongue. Just smiled as I work my "Bush scares me, vote Dean" button and provided essential services without which they'd all be taking an unpaid vacation day.

But man, a big bilboard? Do they jackasses need to improve their name recognition in the areas in which they stop all traffic and create commotion everytime they pass thru...like London...

3. Not a Dean hater

but I like the picture. I'm not sure how that fits into the logic of the matter.

[Cha]

4. Closer, you are so cute!

:hi: What a nice picture to see after reading about Charlie Dean..and did you see the nice article in "Newsweek" on Dean and the Unions by Jonathon Alter?

[eissa]

5. I love how we pull this stuff off

right in their backyard! We need to keep doing this -- going after theirs -- no one is immune!

[Egnever]

6. YES!

This is the stuff I love. Take it to them everywhere. Get the whole country back!

[Cocoa]

7. not necessary to antagonize us non-Dean-supporters

We're capable of loving that picture.

One thing that sours my perception of Dean is the way his supporters interpret non-support as hatred. It's not true and it doesn't help.

[Ediacara]

13. well there are two types of non-support

There is genuine non-support, and there is genuine hatred.

[Cocoa]

19. take it from me

I'm a non-hater, but I have to work at it. Taunting and gloating and trash talking the other candidates make it hard, though I'm succeeding. I don't hate Dean.

[LuminousX]

8. No State is Safe for the GOP

They shall face resistence in every county across this nation!

[mandyky]

9. Dean lover, here

How long will Crawford allow the signs to stay up? Do we have some folks watching? Talk about taking the fight home to shrub - I love it!
As others have said - big cojones - HUGE!

11. Is it me, or does Dubya look about 20 years younger

in that picture?

Signed,
A Bush Hater

[Punkingal]

12. Bwahahahahaha!

That is one fabulous picture! Dean supporters rock!!!!

14. Dean Hater checking in

Really cute publicity stunt, I admit. But I'm looking for the meat AND potatoes, the cake, not just the icing.

15. Dean hater.

Don't know where you get off with such a tremendous assumption.
I find Kucinich the only one answering issues that will make all our lives better. Dean to me is just red hot rhetoric covering up his past sell outs on issues. His programs will not significantly alter America for the better.Nor make our lives more secure.
Because he does not inspire me or lend me to understand who he really is does not mean I hate him... Just skeptical and if he does not address certain issues, then all he will probably merit is possible my vote. Hater at this time- don't think so.

[cyclezealot]

16. an addendum

I just linked ahead.Read the thread on Dean and worker re-regulation.Kucinich is my knight in shinning armour..
However, the re-regulation thread attributed to Dean is the right kind of issue to make me less skeptical.

[indigo32]

18. If you're not a Dean Hater

why do you assume YOU are being referred to that way? Trust me there are those that choose not to support him, and there are Dean Haters.

[cyclezealot]

20. We get too emotional

We are very involved in the Kucinich campaign..Yes, his issues on NAFTA, Single Payer stir us to our souls. This is what we have been about since Seattle and the corruption of HMO's...
If these issues arent addressed of course we will be far more apathetic.. This is what elections are about to us..Our issues that will make life better for all Americans...
Just because Dean's rhetoric leaves us cold does not mean we will not probably support the lesser of two evils.. He address' our prime issues we will warm up.
You should know your opponents before you call them names. Example. We need co-operate and resolve issues that motivate us. In convention or where ever. To call an opponent a sell out because he says 'single payer' is the best program, but I will not fight for it because it is a lost cause' just leaves us cold.
Most of one opponents candidates need to compare and contrast and state why their programs are better. Not make you a hater.
We are to unite- should issues allow- certainly what I hear going on in an adjacent county is not the way to gain supporters should Dean or who ever win.
Example.. we have Kucinich supporters on the county executive board up in Orange Coutny... I talked to them and heard Dean people are trying to push them off of the executive committee.
Not a way to win over your opponents come next Summer.That goes for all of us, including our side.

21. I completely agree... (n/t)

22. Major Dean-hater checking in!

I would describe this as a clever stunt, nothing more. B-)
