Why pick Dean instead of LaRouche for DNC chair?
- LaRouche is better at getting people to contribute money than Dean is. It used to be LaRouche leading in individual contributions before it was Dean - a real people-powered candidate.
- You say Dean is confrontative? I say hogwash compared to LaRouche. Does Dean print pages and pages of attack against the Republicans? Has Dean ever had his own publishing company? Does this seem to say that Dean isn't as concerned about reaching the people?
- Have you heard Dean ever even mention PNAC? And even if so, how often? LaRouche talks about it all the time. Isn't "hiding" it through obscurity furthering it's goals?
- The DNC won't even let LaRouche run for president, and they've been losing elections, making it obvious that we need to put LaRouche in a leadership position, or lose another election.

NOTE: This entire post is sarcastic except for this part.

1. Good one
hehe

But hey, since Dean was leading in the poll of DNC delegates doesn't that make Dean the insider? Or did Dean become the establishment insider when much of the party establishment endorsed him for President? This is a little confusing. I thought everyone was supposed to be against Dean.

2. Sure, if your plan is the end of the party

then Larouche is your ideal candidate. I cannot begin to find the words to express how insane this idea is.

Edit: didn't realize it was a joke until I read the fine print. Sorry

5. LaRouche is a convicted criminal and a crack pot. Has been forever
but whatever you want. LaRouche would be like Perot. The kiss of death.

7. Kiss of death? FACT: We lost the last election.
FACT: LaRouche was not our candidate, and was not even allowed to run.

This losing strategy needs to go. It is so obvious.

9. Oh, good grief, that's the same line Carlos used against Kucinich!
zzzz

I didn't support Dean in the primaries, but he or someone much like him is exactly what we need as DNC chair.
