Dean's Democrats Remain Pathetic
Powerful wake-up call for all Democrats delivered by John R. MacArthur:

>>As chairman of the Democratic National Committee, the lapsed physician now carries the stretcher for a party too sick even to diagnose its own organizational self-interest, much less defend the social and constitutional principles now under siege by the White House. The only thing worse than Dean's prepared platitudes, sometimes shouted, is his virtual silence on the two great issues that Democrats work so hard not to confront: the hideous, mendacious war in Iraq and the big-money corruption of electoral politics and congressional legislation.

10. hmmmm
this doesn't sound like RW horseshit to me:

>>I asked a prominent New York Democrat standing near me why DNC Chairman Dean never denounced the Iraq occupation/bloodbath, and the politician, an old acquaintance, seemed to flinch. I promised I wouldn't quote him by name, but his reaction was worth noting: "Maybe he should talk about Iraq. Nine American soldiers died in Iraq in the last two days. If Gore were president, can you imagine the screams from the Republicans?"<<

11. Fuck that, I don't respond to anonymous bullshit
Too bad if you base your life around that kind of crap, but I'm reality-based, baby.

5. Dean said that he has heard the cries of Democrats and they
want a fight. It is time to fight the Republican Machine. The right is scared of him and the MSM is doing everything they can to discredit him. All that matters is that the people support him.

8. MacArthur's type is why we are in the position we are in !
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 06:21 PM by DeepGreen
When the Democrat Party decides to have some guts,
I may consider to call myself a part of the Democratic
Party as I have in the past.

I am, always have been, and will continue to be
A LIBERAL, and you might call me FLAMING - I would
take that as a compliment!

12. no!!!!!!!! the reason we are in the position we are in
is COWARDLINESS.

Dean should explicitly denounce Bush as an ELECTION THIEF, MASS MURDERER and WAR PROFITEER.

Dean should not waste his breath and MY time saying Republicans never made an honest living in their lives and the party is made of white Christians only.
