It's a not-very-accurate poll of actual DNC committee voters.

Go Dean! He's still the best Democratic politician to emerge in a long time.

An entrepreneur-minded fiscally conservative Democrat is a dream come true.

(Despite the fact that wing-nuts hate gays so much they'll never listen to a word out of his mouth... he still rocks!)”

“Dean to be succesful will have to change. can he do it? I don't know.

I still think a strong Third party is what is needed. You have enough people from both parties who are tired of what is going on.

Now if an independent got elected he would have a real hard time getting anything done if he even could”

“To have more than 2 viable parties, we'd need to change to a Parliamentarian form of government.”

“Why can't the Republicans be in charge all the time?”

“Because then I'd eventually run out of things to be pissed at liberals about and that wouldn't be any fun.”

“But life would be good, wouldn't it?”

“Good but boring...”

“I think Dean is the man for the job. He is a great organizer. You wait and see. He was the perfect choice! I'm really excited about this.”

“I could not be more pleased that Howard Dean is the Chairman of the DNC.”

“I hope you like the taste of toenails bbw, you'll be stuffing your foot in your mouth soon.”

“Here's what I like...

Harry Reid gives conservatives a place in the leadership of the party.

Howard Dean gives liberals a place in the leadership of the party.

Democrats need both to win. And, Ewker, let's keep the opposition united. This is not time to divide. We haven't had a viable second party for a while.

And I guess I can ask the questions again...

Who is the Republican Party Chair?
Who was the last Democratic Party chair?

No one except the most obsessed political people know because they are largely behind-the-scenes kinds of positions.

In fact, the conspiracy theorist in me thinks that the DLC-Democrats like nothing better than to bury Dean in the position of DNC chair. He'll have to compromise and stand behind candidates he'd never support otherwise.”

“"The Democratic National Committee made it official, electing former governor and one-time shoe-in Howard Dean as their new party chairman. As a doctor they're hoping he can reattach the ass handed to the Democrats in the past election. ... You know, there's something stirring about the peaceful transfer of no power."

—Jon Stewart”

“Me thinks he has a case of foot in mouth disease. Wonder if he'll affect the whole herd (of course, herding donkeys is a tough task).

Campaigning agaist White Christians is a dumbo move in this country. It's a recipe for being a minority party, and it plays right into the Right Wing's claim to own Christianity.”

“Geez - I thought the Dem bashers would be jumping all over old yeller here. Or am I missing the thread?”

“I lean right on most issues, but don't always vote Repub, and also firmly believe we all benefit from a free, open debate between qualified, electable candidates. I have posted before that I didn't vote for GW in either of the last two elections, and was actually kinda' pi$$ed at the Dems for fumbling so badly that I, as a voter, didn't feel as if I had a viable choice, so I was forced to abstain from voting for ANY presidential candidate.

I am hoping the Dem's field a viable, ELECTABLE candidate this next time around, so we (the eltorate) at least have a choice.

Dean is a far-left radical, period. PLEASE, PLEASE get your act together, Dems, so we can have REAL debate & progress!”

“Most of the Libs here on TT are anti-Christians so Dean does a great job of representing their views.
You guys wanted him, you got him.
LOL”

“Spinning, spinning, spinning.

I believe that Dean (a white Christian) said that the Republican party was only white Christians - that the Democrats are much more diverse. Nothing anti-Christian there.”

“I like Dean.
He's the only honest Dem with any kind of power, unlike the true leader, Hillary.”

“wandy, i give you alot of hell sometimes, but i am in complete 100 percent agreement with that post(with the exception of that little right-leaning bit)”

“Actually, CB, I would never admit it here because it would trash my "image" as a racist, but I lean pretty far left on some issues. Of those that personally know me, many believe me to be a "lib"!”

“..and of course the Dems aren't anti-Christian....it was the Reps with their noses high in the air that called all the 'Red' states contemptuously 'JesusLand'.
MOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

“i am really sick of dean. like wandy said, i cant believe the dems fumbled the ball so badly in this past election that they couldnt get somebody to take down one of the most hated, divisive presidents in history. i really liked that ex-general guy. i couldve gotten behind him”

“I agree that the Dem's aren't anti-Christian, but Dean's statement fed that image. He fumbled and the other team picked up the ball. He did acknowledge that he was a White Christian. If I were him, I would be railing against the distorted image of Jesus and Christianity that the right wing holds.

Hows this for a slogan, or bumper sticker: "The Christian Right is neither!"”

“i am really sick of dean. like wandy said, i cant believe the dems fumbled the ball so badly in this past election that they couldnt get somebody to take down one of the most hated, divisive presidents in history. i really liked that ex-general guy. i couldve gotten behind him”

The Dems were stupid to throw the election away running Kerry. I too wanted Wesley Clark to win the nomination. The Dems thought they could unseat W and have a liberial as well with Kerry. Kerry packed too much baggage to topple our idiot king. Wesley Clark would no doubt be in the White House now had he been nominated. He just wasn't what the far left wanted, so we are stuck with W for another term. We can only hope that the Dems pull ther heads out their asses before 2008. My real wish is for John McCain to win the Republican nomination. I want my party back. I don't really feel comfortable with the Dems but, I hate the Neocons.”

“Geez - I thought the Dem bashers would be jumping all over old yeller here. Or am I missing the thread? - pedx

What you might not have understood is that conservatives want him in that postition. LOL. No complaints here!

Like SS said, put Hillary up for prez too!

I think America is ready to elect a female president who is on the rag 24/7.”

“Sarge: I know conservatives want him there. I just thought they'd be posting how much they enjoyed this dumb move on his part.”

“they couldnt get somebody to take down one of the most hated, divisive presidents in history. ”

CB, check your calendar. Clinton wasn't running for president this past election.”

“Hyway, the Repubs ran Bob Dole against him. I been more excited watching turds flush than listening to Bob Dole. I don't think Dole was a bad man, just like I don't believe Carter was a bad man. They just lacked the ability to rally the masses.”

Unlike the Libs, most Reps aren't as mean spirited. LOL”

“Yeah! Conservatives are not mean angry vicious hateful people like Libs. (the bastards)”

“It's not Christian to be that way.”

“Republicans have no diversity and we don't embrace it, I mean, seriously, only a democrat would put a black man in such an important position as the Secretary of State, right? Or a black woman for that matter, no Republican would do that. And what Rep in his or her right mind would make an Hispanic the Attorney General. Repubs hate diversity, it is ingrained. I mean, during the 60's not to quote out of context or anything but LBJ said, "When I put a Ni**er in the Supreme court I want everyone to know he is a Ni**er. LBJ was a republican wasn't he?

Oh yeah, and by the way, the sarcasm font was on for this post. If anyone found it condescending or inflamatory in any way, please cry quietly. (Sarcasm font was on for that too)”

“It was a joke, SS.”

“Sarge, I was joking also.”

“SS, I was joking also also.”

“No, I was joking more...”

“SS, aren't Dean and Hillary awesome! I think I'm going to register Democrat this year so I vote in primaries.”

“Oh Man! That's such a kewl idea!
I just LOVE the way Hillary has truely moved to the center now!

“Sorry squirrelbait. Any time a minority gets ahead under the republican admin it's either pandering or they are Uncle Toms. LOL!”

“The Dems know if they lose even a small % of the Black vote, they are dead meat.
Therefore they must keep up the scare tactics and lies to keep the Black people 'in line' and under control.”

“That's a pretty meanspirited insinuation that black people can't think for themselves. How un-Christian!”

“Black people thinking for themselves is the Dems worse nightmare.
LOL”

“I am definately voting for hillary in the primaries, I want to see her run for president...”

“stovestomper they do think for themselves. They think how to get on welfare,food stamps,free housing,free medical, etc...”

“Free thinking would imply diversity of thought. Why would a blanket statement like that be true, then? You owe the blacks an apology! LOL”

“"Do you think the Republicans could get these many people of color in one room? They'd have to bring in the hotel staff." Howie Dean, DNC Chair

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
If a Rep had said that, he would be out the door.”

“The Dems sure are tolerate of racist comments WITHIN the party.”

“There you do SS. That's the kind of stuff I was expecting! Dean left you an opening you could drive an a couple of Abrams through.”
