How the hell can you stand to have someone like Howard Dean head your party.  Having that hate-mongering retard speak for you only further alienates your party from the American voter and decreases your chance of winning back the White House.

...I was sorta liking Howie when he was running for office

Saying things like:

"Republicans have never done an honest day's work in their lives."

"Republicans are evil.  This is a war between good and evil, we are the good."

"The only Republicans that have ever done an honest day's work are prostitutes."

"Republicans are nothing but a white, Christian party."  -- says the white Christian....what a moron

"I want people with Confederate flags on their trucks to put down those flags and vote Democratic."  -- Yeah, every republican has a Confederate flag on his wall you fucking moron

"I hate Republicans and everything they stand for."  -- Yeah, this is somebody I'd want speaking for me  ::)




Electing him as their Chairman is the worst mistake the Democrats could've made.  He does nothing but soil their image.  But I've become used to the Democrats doing stupid things.  Endorsing Hilary Clinton as a presidential candidate would almost be a worse mistake than appointing Dean.  I suppose I should expect the Democratic party to do the absolute dumbest thing possible though, so I suppose she'll be running.

Why do you care? Seems like you're just trying to pick a fight. Please don't turn into Hazard.

(Note: I don't consider myself a Democrat)

My guess is that he IS a Democrat.

Personally, I like the fact that Dean is the chairman.  :)

No, I'm not a democrat, and no I'm not trying to start a fight...

You might like him, but he's destroying any chance your party has of returning to power

What kind of question is "Why do you care?" That's dumb, why did you care to respond?

Yes, I'm a democrat.

Yes, Dean is a douche.

No, I don't know what that scream was...

Judging from DM's splurge of posts recently I was running on the inkling that he isn't (and he confirms).

I really don't know how to classify questions, perhaps you can enlighten me with the nomenclature? I cared to respond because if you would look at the rest of my comment you would see that I said it looks like he is trying to pick a fight.  Maybe if the post wasn't worded in a Deception-esque way (see Bush is hindering the advancement of our species) I wouldn't have said anything.

I agree he is probably doing more harm than good. But I admire the decision by the Democrats because they can choose someone who is so hard-lined and outspoken instead of choosing someone who can't make up their mind or won't stand on either side of the line (irony :P).

Heh, you misunderstand.  He's not my party; that's why I like him.  :)

Ahh :)

dxoigmn:  It's a good thing to be outspoken, but you still have to be careful about what you say.  Dean is effectively alienating the average American voter, and alot of his comments are just outright ludicrous and make the Democratic party look very bad.

The Democratic & Republican parties seem to me to be just as bad as eachother. We have a much similar situation here.

Thankfully, we have a viable 3rd party :)

Is that the Lousy Limey Tea-Suckin' British Bastards party?  ;D

Platforms-wise, they may be as bad as each other.  However, the Rep. party isn't nearly as bad rhetoric-wise from its officials.

Hmm....let's see, Bush stood true to his convictions.  Bush isn't so outspoken but he takes action.  Bush knows what he wants.  So, what you're saying is that there should be more leaders like Bush? 

Hmm, Democrats have an odd theory on government.  Hate the man that's in office & try to run him out while secretly hoping he still wins re-election

Yes that is what I am saying because I speak for all democrats even though I recently said and I quote:

Read the thread and posts, don't be like hismajesty and conveniently ignore stuff so you can try and pull some shoddy attempt at presenting a point that has no basis to begin with. And in any case I don't speak for all democrats nor should you be putting words in my mouth. Hazard has had too much influence on these kids, they're starting to use the same lame-old argumentative techinques that we all know don't work.

Ok, I'll change that to liberal.  You seem quite liberal to me.


EDIT:
Wow, those Democrats are some jacked up people

Republicans aren't exactly better. The D & R parties are more the same than they are different, and are just as bad as eachother.

Actually, they were the exact opposite about 80 years ago (Republicans were liberal, Democrats were conservative).  For no apparent reason  they flipped :\

It depends on what your terms mean.  Republicans represent (generally) a wish to remain in the classical, Lockean conservatism with Smith/Keynes economics.

Democrats represent more the Fourier utopian liberal/Marxist economics.

However, recently, Reps have been getting more and more socialist.  I'm close to changing to Libertarian.

How am I a utopian Marxist??  YOU'VE CONFUSED ME!  You're forgetting the Democrats who are so liberal they are conservative, and the Republicans who are so conservative they are liberal!

These arguments are starting to get really old on this forum.  It seems that everytime something worth discussing on this forum turns into an argument about democrats vs. republicans after the first few posts and never gets back on track.

This post was to discuss the Democratic chairmen and to discuss him and whether he is a viable head of the party or not, etc. etc.  Not to argue over democrats vs. republicans and bring in biased opinions which often have no support behind them.

Thread hijackers suck.

I think the democrats secretlly want the republicans to win so they throw the biggest douche bags they can find at the american people....
