JACKSON, Miss. - Praying for American troops and evoking biblical images of helping the needy, Howard Dean told Mississippi Democrats on Tuesday night that the national party won't give up on socially conservative states.
"We're not going to concede the South," the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee told an overflow crowd of more than 900 people in a dining room that was set up for 800 in the Clarion hotel near downtown Jackson.
"The South will rise again, and when it does, it will have a D under its name," Dean said to applause from the diverse crowd of blacks and whites.
Dean, a former Vermont governor, was an early front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination last year before his campaign faded after early primaries. He was elected DNC chairman last month and is on a "red, white and blue" tour of states with long records of voting Republican.
Last week, he was in Kansas, which has voted Republican in every presidential race since 1964. Mississippi has gone Republican in every presidential race since 1980, and Democratic presidential nominees rarely campaign in the state. Dean said he'll go to Tennessee soon.
"The way we're going to win elections in this country is not to become Republican lite. The way we're going to win elections in this country is to stand up for what we believe in," Dean said.
Speaking at the $75-a-plate Mississippi Democratic Party dinner, Dean criticized the national debt and said: "You cannot trust Republicans with your taxpayer dollars."

And exactly what is that ? abortion on demand....gay marriage...no guns...a Godless society....AND ????
Git a rope!.....
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
This guy is a scream.
The South has risen again, its running the country and has an R under its name.
Those who have prospered under Republican rule in the South should remember the days when the Robert Byrd Democrats ruled along with a few rich white old money boys.
That being said, ya gotta give Dean credit for trying. Its more than can be said for the rest of his party. If he wants the Dems to rise again he needs to know that the Zell Millers must be greeted back into the party. They however are Republicans now.
Maybe Reverend Dean could preach about protecting unborn infants with gay genes, but not any others. I'm sure that would go very well down here. Or, perhaps he should allow the choice of killing off entire categories of genetic codes among the unborn? Should parents be allowed to zap all females, for example? "We want a boy." How is he going to handle that issue over down here? And if he really wants to make nice with the south, he should walk hand-in-hand with Jerry Falwell in denouncing perverted art funded by the NEA.
The rats have problems. I better get off before I start salivating.
FReegards....
Maybe we should take up a collection and buy this yahoo a shirt with a collar that fits.
Another stupid remark by the bigoted Northerner.
The "Godless society" is the scariest part. If God is in our lives there is no abortion on demand, gay marriage, no problems with owning guns...etc. All the morality stems from having God in our society.
We like to think, sometimes, that morality and law don't mix and shouldn't...but they do. An act is moral or immoral, whether it's against the law or not. Law has been based on what we have always thought to be moral or immoral, that is, right or wrong.
Even ole Plato said: It's never right to do wrong.
Dean's direction, that is, the secular left direction is WAY off the "high road."
The South "rose" again a LONG time ago. Where has Dean been?
Haha, good one.
An oldie, but a goodie.
Wow, Dean just keeps on coming up with these neo-KKK remarks. First he says that hotels are staffed only by colored people. Now he says the South will rise again. What next, reinstitution of slavery?
That tight collar and tie are the only thing that keeps his foreskin from rolling up over his eyes, he's a real "pe****head"
--"I hate Republicans and everything they stand for."
--"This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good."
--"You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had hotel staff in here."
--"The South will rise again, and when it does, it will have a D under its name,"

So the Dems aren't content merely to concede the South, they are going to come advertise their degenerate positions and actively drive the South even further into our camp. Brilliant.
Howard Dean is the moron of the marketing world. He message is "You stupid little people are supposed to conform to us. We are never going to change our positions to match the desires of our constituents." In other words, they are going to keep re-packaging their doo-doo sandwich of a platform until everyone takes a bite.
