Dean slanders GOP rank-and-file GOTV volunteers as "mindless zealots"
Sacramento broadcast media | Howard Dean

Posted on 01/24/2005 4:01:50 PM PST by StAnDeliver

Approximately 600 Democrats gathered in a Sacramento conference hall on Saturday, January 22, to hear seven DNC chair candidates vie for the affections of a motley crowd composed of several dozen voting DNC members and a large assortment of Deaniacs. When it was the ex-Governor's turn to speak, it was Iowa all over again...

"They're gonna do those things too. The difference is we're not going to send an army of mindless zealots out into the provinces to knock on doors -- you are gonna' do it because you believe in it, and because they're you're friends and neighbors!" -- Howard Dean

I don't think Dean is getting any sex. That will do that to a man.

Howard was a regular on Canadian TV playing the role of "typical American governor". I don't think he ever got over it.

the Democrats return to some acceptable level of respectability

They don't seem capable of even thinking in a respectable manner. I have said elsewhere that the RATs will have to embrace Harry Truman instead of Karl Marx if they ever want to regain the ground they have lost in public opinion over the last 50 years. They have confused "libertine" with "liberty".

And more than that, they will have to really mean it instead of just trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the electorate. What's the old joke, "How do you know when a demonRAT is lying? Just see if his mouth is moving."

Um, does Dean remember Iowa, when his "volunteers" started showing up, and suddenly he started dropping in the polls like somone had tied bags of lead around his head?

There once was a lefty named Howard
The Dean of the anti-war cowards
Though he left with a scream
He is back it would seem
In a new bid for DNC power!

Doesn't he know that all the Democratic/MoveOn "zealots" were PAID to get out the vote?

We do it because we believe in it.

They do it only for a paycheck.

I've been mourning the loss of Terry. Haven't been open to Dean as result.

I think I'm ready to welcome him now. That statement, had it been made in the heat of battle, would have just sent thousands of extra volunteers to flood the GOP offices.

Maybe someone with better resources than I can sandbag Dean by finding the article in the Burlington Free Press (VT) in fall, 2004 where he said he wasn't going to pay what he owed to his "staff" so he could start his new anti-GOP program.

"Mindless zealots"?

Wasn't it the orange-ski-capped Deaniacs who invaded Iowa. They did really well...their appearance actually ended up turning off voters.

More power to ya Howard. Please...oh please...take over the Rat Party. I hope to see 1000's of orange coneheads sweeping the nation in 2008.

It's so funny watching them-

Dim #1-"LOOK! A BIG PILE OF S##T! LET'S STEP IN IT!"
Dim #2-"NO! I'VE GOT A BETTER IDEA! LET'S WALLOW IN IT!"

Yep, a recliner, FR, the TV, some Sauza Conmemorativo, and the Dims-it just doesn't get any better...
