Howard Dean’s White Christian Party

Posted by Moonage on 08 Jun 2005 | Tagged as: National Politics

Dean’s implosion continues:

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on Wednesday defended his recent harsh criticism of Republicans, including his observation that they are "pretty much a white, Christian party."

Dean noted that he, too, is a white Christian. But he said the GOP is too narrow in its scope and the Democratic Party is far more diverse.

Equivocating is not a smart political strategy. 

That didn’t stop him from going ever farther over the edge:

While discussing the hardship of working all day and then standing in line for eight hours to vote, Dean had said, "Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives."

Dean is shooting from the hip.  He’s gonna shoot himself, again.  Democrats are smart to distance themselves from Dean, he might shoot them as well.  I just wonder how long the DNC is going to put up with Dean.  I mean, "dividing the country" was a DNC theme not very long ago.  Now, the RNC can claim it lock, stock, and barrel.

    Normally I would applaud this type of behavior from Dean. It brings me great pleasure to see the Democratic Party self destruct until I really think about it.

    A one Party system is bad for America even if it’s the Party I prefer. This is where we are heading with Dean in charge of the DNC.

    What is becoming more evident these days is the need for another Party. The Democrats are so dominated by the looney left hollywood liberal crowd it is time for the Regan Democrats and McCain Republicans to start a third Party together.

    While this is not likely due primarily to the fact that changing Parties means you loose all seniority in Congress, it is necessary for a healthy American political landscape.

    I never would beleive these words would come out of my conservative mouth.

    Even Congressman (soon to be Senator) Harold Ford from Tn. made it clear today that Dean doesn’t represent him or his Democratic collegues, and then said something that I thought quite strange…he said that Dean didn’t represent any of his Republican constituents in Tennessee.

    I’ve got believe that before the Capaign of ‘08 begins in earnest, someone else will be the Chairman of the DNC. Dean is a mistake, a big mistake. Ford is one thing, Biden bailing on him so quickly, is quite still another.

    Might be a little premature on the “Senator” label. He’s having some issues in Tennessee. Hasn’t affected him directly, yet, but it very well could.

    And yeah, I predict Dean is out before the end of the year.

    Just an idea Moon. Ford is probably what my Dad wished for when he hoped for a Democratic renasiance. OK Dad was a Reagan Republican, but this guy is right for the job as more than Senator.Way more qualified than Hillary and more electable.

    Why do I keep trying to rally Democrats?

    OK, guess I need to elaborate a little more.  Read

    THIS
    first.

    Now, there are close family ties, but I don’t know the political ties. 
    I’m reserving my judgment on Ford, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s more than
    content to just wait all this out before making a major political move.

    I don’t think he gets touched by this. The Conservatives love this guy and for good reason. He is by no means anywhere close to his uncle’s agenda.
