Dean said that "one of the misconceptions about the Democratic Party is that we're godless and that we don't have any values."
The Vermont liberal is trying to change that.
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean told CBN News that his party has a lot in common with the evangelical community.
Dean wants evangelicals and other conservative Christians to know that Democrats have something to offer them.
"The truth is, we have an enormous amount in common with the Christian community, and particularly with the evangelical Christian community,” Dean said.
But the Democrats’ record on hot political issues such as abortion, gay marriage, and separation of church and state don't match up with that of evangelicals...

Instead of "Howard Dean: Democrats Have Much in Common with Evangelicals"
Title should read.. "Democrats have much in common with dog poop".
To: george76
Nice words. I'm not buying it, though because the Democrat Party's ACTIONS tell me differently!

It's not that they don't have ANY values.

LOL!
95% of the democrat base call Evangelicals by the perjorative "fundie".
IF you want to see real hatred towards Evangelicals, read the DUmpster(i.e the democrat base)

"Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean told CBN News that his party has a lot in common with the evangelical community." The only thing they have in common: they are both mammals.

Dean wants evangelicals and other conservative Christians to know that Democrats have something to offer them.And what is that? More slogans? Mend it, don't end it? Abortion should be legal and rare?

Howard Dean: "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for"

Since Dean has come on board, he has started a program called The Faith and Action Initiative. It is an effort where the Democratic Party in each state works closely with religious leaders from all faiths to explain how the Democrats’ values are in line with the views of many Christians.Ah! So THAT explains what he was doing that night in Hew Hampshire (besides screaming):

I am a conservative Evangelical Bible Thumper.
The only thing Howie Dean and his Democrats have
to offer me is his resignation and their promise
to move to Europe.
