| Yet more proof that the Dems just don't get it | |
| 2004-11-08 | |
| Former presidential candidate Howard Dean is considering a bid to become chairman of the national Democratic Party. Steve Grossman, himself a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said Dean had told him he was thinking about it. Oh please, please, please, let this happen.

| #8 As someone who was in high school through most of Reagan's second term I've never understood the attraction of the Democratic party. To me they've always been anti-business, anti-military, and anti-middle class. I have no memory of mainstream Democrats advocating anything other than higher taxes, a smaller military, and ever-expanding dependence on the government. Looking back, it seems to me that modern Democrats are essentially leftist socialists and that W has roughly the same policy ideals as JFK. |

| #7 This is one of the last guys the Dems need yet their self inflicted blood letting will go on. And it really does distress me. As the party of my youth I still feel a certain affection for them and as I have achieved my 5th decade I see that they really don't have all of the answers (neither do the Pubs, that is why I am the most hated/courted voter of all,the true independent) The Dems lost their way in the wilderness during the '60s and they are not yet done with their 40 years of wandering. But it is close. I can see them losing one more presidential election and then they will find their way back to their roots and try to go back to representing the average American. Unfortunately the Pubs will already be there. And it is unfortunate, because if the Dems fail to resurrect themselves and vanish they will most likey be replace by an extreme party of one sort of another |

| #6 "It is absolutely amazing how the Dem boat has a hole in it, and rather than bail and plug the hole, the Dems look around for a new captain." Hell, it looks like they've decided the way to fix the hole is with a drill. |

| #4 It is absolutely amazing how the Dem boat has a hole in it, and rather than bail and plug the hole, the Dems look around for a new captain. Hell, you can have the best captain in the universe (and beyond) but if you do not fix the hole, the boat will sink. [/classified information] heh heh.....Hahahahaha! |

| #3 there's no way he could do worse than Terry McAwful, but I'd love to see him try |

| #1 If Howard Dean becomes DNC Chairman, I will take it as absolute, final, irrefutable proof not only that there is a Supreme Being, but that He has one helluva sense of humor, as well. |
