Shortly after endorsing Dean, Braun recieved up to $300,000 from the Dean campaign to retire debt |
|
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 06:05 AM by wyldwolf
So, I'm sure those expressing the fake outrage over Clinton/Visack will agree this even worse: "We are going to help her with the debt," (Dean adviser Jon) Haber told me. The debt tab could be in the neighborhood of some $300,000 and Dean's camp will help Braun raise the money to pay it off. Braun will campaign for Dean three days of the week, with the Dean campaign picking up her travel expenses. Braun will become a Dean campaign consultant and will be paid about $20,000. Up to three of Braun's staffers, including (Patricia) Ireland, will be hired by the Dean campaign."Chicago Sun Times http://web.archive.org/web/20040212235601/http://www.suntimes.com/output/sweet/cst-nws-sweet16.html

Where's the part where Braun receives $300,000 from the Dean campaign? I don't see that at all.

So.. you're going to say because this was in the future tense, it didn't happen?

That means something quite different than "give her $300,000". If I owe $100, and you give me $10, you've helped me with my debt.

4. hmm... OK, I changed it to "up to $300,000." Does that make it better for you? |
|
Edited on Wed Jul-18-07 06:09 AM by wyldwolf
Braun dropped out of the race, endorsed Dean, and recieved financial assistance to pay off debt which could have been as high as $300,000. Plus, she and several of her campaign workers were hired by the Dean campaign. :)

""We are going to help her with the debt," Haber told me. The debt tab could be in the neighborhood of some $300,000 and Dean's camp will help Braun raise the money to pay it off."
This ancient article says nothing at all about how much money the Dean campaign helped Braun raise, it merely puts an upper limit on how much they might in the future have helped her campaing to raise, and never once states that the Dean campaign gave one dime to the Braun campaign fund. It does state that the Dean campaign paid Braun $20,000 as a consultant.
This OP is a typical smear job.

I quoted your link, which said nothing that substantiated the title of your OP. You should be ashamed of yourself, but of course that is beyond you.
From the article cited please show exactly where the Dean campaign gave any money at all to the Braun campaign.

7. If I remember correctly, at the time Dean's campaign said that was the usual way things are done, |
|
The victor helps the loster's remaining debt - if there is any. Usually the loser has money left over - not the other way around.

Presumably, Vilsack still has some influence with the party machinery in Iowa, much more important in a caucus state than in a primary. And if CM-B had any machine left in Illinois, it was sure moot by mid-March, when Illinois voyed.

This sort of thing is not at all unusual.
There are plenty of reasons to criticize each of the candidates. The fact that one has recently retired the debt of a former candidate is not one of them.

Speaking of motes and logs in eyes....
It was an amazing time at DU when that happened. Dean was condemned, blasted, burned.
And those who pointed out it was often done....ooh my goodness.
Welcome to the 08 campaign, Howard Dean....betcha you did not even know you were running this time.
But then after all, sir, consider it a compliment that you are being used so often as a basis of comparison.

But in a nutshell, the DLC's mission was to woo back Reagan Democrats - a goal partially achieved through popular DLC policies of welfare reform, tough on crime initiatives, fiscal conservativism, etc.
Now, your answer in a nutshell?

First you said, "the actions of the "progressive movement" of the 60s gave the Democrats the public perception of being weak on defense, shunning religion, having lose morals, etc."
Now, the remedy is "popular DLC policies of welfare reform, tough on crime initiatives, fiscal conservativism, etc." - none of which has to do with defense, religion or morals.
Now, your answer in a nutshell?
I don't speak for all progressives, of course, but from where I sit, if doing the right thing gives the party a negative image, then the best way to remedy that is to change what it is people expect from government, not to do the wrong thing.
Now, let's talk about the special interest agendas the DLC is supposed to reject...

Something you haven't denied nor explained how "progressives" would correct.
Now, the remedy is "popular DLC policies of welfare reform, tough on crime initiatives, fiscal conservativism, etc." - none of which has to do with defense, religion or morals.
That is where the "etc." comes in. You know full well the DLC puts an emphasis on defense. Crime initiatives and welfare reform are directly linked to morals.
I don't speak for all progressives, of course, but from where I sit, if doing the right thing gives the party a negative image, then the best way to remedy that is to change what it is people expect from government, not to do the wrong thing.
So how do "progressives" change it?
Now, let's talk about Wilson not entering WWI based on German submarine warfare.

This was addressed in the same post. You knew that, though.

Indeed I do, to the occasional detriment of the nation.
Crime initiatives and welfare reform are directly linked to morals.
Oh. See, I'd have said that they're related to poverty, but I forgot that this is about changing public perception of the party, not about doing what's right. My bad.
So how do "progressives" change it?
Slowly. Still better than doing the wrong thing.
Now, let's talk about Wilson not entering WWI based on German submarine warfare.
Are you sure you don't want to fill in your understanding of the Zimmerman telegram first? :D

You know full well the DLC puts an emphasis on defense. Indeed I do, to the occasional detriment of the nation.
Isn't the military a necessary but sometimes detrimental entity?
Oh. See, I'd have said that they're related to poverty, but I forgot that this is about changing public perception of the party, not about doing what's right. My bad.
The "right thing." How... vague.
So how do "progressives" change it? Slowly. Still better than doing the wrong thing.
The "wrong thing." How... vague.
Are you sure you don't want to fill in your understanding of the Zimmerman telegram first?
Are you sure YOU don't want to?

No. Unprovoked invasions are, except the "necessary" part. I wouldn't call the military itself detrimental.
The "right thing." How... vague.
Only to someone who thinks crime is a morality issue.
The "wrong thing." How... vague.
I'll be more specific. NAFTA, CAFTA, the death penalty, the invasion of Iraq, and private school vouchers are all examples of "the wrong thing".
See? Specifics. Take notes.
Are you sure YOU don't want to?
Don't need to, but thanks.

Then sometimes it's a detrimental entity.

Crime is a morality issue and vice versa.
The "wrong thing." How... vague. I'll be more specific. NAFTA, CAFTA, the death penalty, the invasion of Iraq, and private school vouchers are all examples of "the wrong thing".
In your opinion. In MY opinion, NAFTA was a good idea that went bad, CAFTA shouldn't have been passed because of NAFTA, the death penalty is ok by me in heinous felony offenses, and school vouchers are fine as long as they can't be used for religious schools.
Are you sure YOU don't want to? Don't need to, but thanks.
Right. :)

It falls into the "detrimental" category.

You'll address every other one of my "wrong things" individually, but Iraq gets lost in a vague statement about how the military is occasionally detrimental.
Was the invasion the right or the wrong thing to do?

75. Truth often is. I said the military is a necessary though sometimes detrimental thing... |
|
Iraq is an instance of "detrimental."
Sorry, again, you're not getting the answer you're fishing for.

77. you're a teacher, though you act like a fisherman. You know the definition of "detrimental." |
|
adjective:
1. causing detriment; damaging; harmful.
I can't imagine anything that is detrimental being "right."

81. I just did. Oh, I get it. You want to see the word "wrong" typed out. |

As though "detrimental" doesn't qualify as "wrong."
Ok, the Iraq was, like I've always said, was wrong - a detriment to our country.
Now, was the use of our military detrimental?

Despite opinions to the contrary, I'm not an agent of theirs. But probably for the same reasons 42% of Democrats did, along with Howard Dean (supported Biden-Lugar), Al Franken, and other well known Dems.
