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...

Dean only has common ground with those churches affiliated with the National and World Council of churches. And he knows that.
"... his party has a lot in common with the evangelical community."
Like what, for example? Most Dems have very little in common with evangelical Christians. For one thing, most Dems don't really believe the Bible or the Gospel. They believe the parts they like and toss the rest.
Hey, Howie, how many millions of babies are dead today because of Democrat values? Once you've fought for the privilege of killing God's children, it's hard to see your values as any different that the godless Nazis and Communists in other countries.
Howard Dean has about as much credibility talking about the Evangelicals as Jeffery Dhalmer would as a spokesman for A-1 Steak Sauce.
Howard believes in a supreme being...himself!
Oh, they believe in a supreme being as well. It happens to be themselves.

I haven't laughed this hard in days reading this. Dean is really demented, isn't he? I mean, there's no doubt now.
On the contrary, they are godless but do have values:
abortion, appeasement, amoralism, and anti-capitalism
are all deeply held values of the base and leadership of the Democrat party.
Just one of the reasons I am now, happily, a
Recovering_Democrat.

Wow! You mean Deany finally figured out what Books are in the Old Testament and which ones are in the New Testament? Now that's progress and a real connection alright!
Evangelicals believe in a Supreme Being
Why so do Dems - her name is Hitlery
Howard's favorite New Testament story was Davy Goliath and the Arc.
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean told CBN News that his party has a lot in common with the evangelical community.
I think that my recollection is, that by them, we are called "The extreme (fanatic) Christian Right!??!
Hmmmmm???
Fact is quit a few democrats are Christians. Wouldn't know that from Howard's formulation of Us and Them. Imagine if Mr. Bush said "Republicans and homosexuals have a lot in common". He would rightly be mocked by those saying - Is he so out of it he doesn't even know there are lots and lots of gay Republicans?
We aren't interested in socialism
If we wanted that .. we've move to France
Evangelicals believe in a Supreme Being

Here's what alGore believes in:..................
For thousands of years, the Kitanemuk Indians made their home in the Elk Hills of central California. Come February 2001, the last of the 100 burial grounds, holy places and other archaeological sites of the Kitanemuks will be obliterated by the oil drilling of Occidental Petroleum Company. Oxy's plans will "destroy forever the evidence that we once existed on this land," according to Dee Dominguez, a Kitanemuk whose great grandfather was a signatory to the 1851 treaty that surrendered the Elk Hills.
Occidental's planned drilling of the Elk Hills doesn't only threaten the memory of the Kitanemuk. Environmentalists say a rare species of fox, lizard and the kangaroo rat would also be threatened by Oxy's plans. A lawsuit has been filed under the Endangered Species Act. But none of that has given pause to Occidental or the politician who helped engineer the sale of the drilling rights to the federally-owned Elk Hills. That politician is Al Gore.
Gore recommended that the Elk Hills be sold as part of his 1995 "Reinventing Government" National Performance Review program. Gore-confidant (and former campaign manager) Tony Cohelo served on the board of directors of the private company hired to assess the sale's environmental consequences. The sale was a windfall for Oxy. Within weeks of the announced purchase Occidental stock rose ten percent.
That was good news for Gore. Despite controversy over Dick Cheney's plans to keep stock options if elected, most Americans don't know that we already have a vice president with oil company stocks. Before the Elk Hills sale, Al Gore controlled between $250,000-$500,000 of Occidental stock (he is executor of a trust that he says goes only to his mother, but will revert to him upon her death). After the sale, Gore began disclosing between $500,000 and $1 million of his significantly more valuable stock.
Nowhere is Al Gore's environmental hypocrisy more glaring than when it comes to his relationship with Occidental. While on the one hand talking tough about his "big oil" opponents and waxing poetic about indigenous peoples in his 1992 book "Earth in the Balance," the Elk Hills sale and other deals show that money has always been more important to Al Gore than ideals.
Oh, BULL-ONEY. The Post-Modernist, values void, hostility to Biblical Christianity ridden, viciousness of the Democrat party became plain as day to the Evangelical Christian community, at least this one, when the Clinton appointed Reno/Freeh DOJ published this little piece pre-Millenium:
Everyone should read through it again to see just how much the Democrat party "is willing to work with" the Evangelical Christian community—or any other Conservative faith community. This is what we go back to if the Republican party loses ground in political cycles in the future. These people aren't inclusive. They're dangerous.
At the least, the Democrat party has become a safe haven for every terrorist front organization that hates Israel, racial seperatists and America haters, and a myriad list of other crackpots, deviants, and "victims" constantly pointing their fingers at everybody and everything else except taking personal responsibity for their lives.
But than, that's Dean speaking.
I'm surpised CBN even posted this on their site. Complete lack of standards.
"The West has given more significance to the myth of the genocide of the Jews, even more significant than God, religion, and the prophets...."—Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

A student told his professor he was going to "Palestine" to "fight for freedom, peace and justice,"—Orwellian leftist code words that mean "murder Jews."

They have much more in common with enemies of The United States of America.
Thank you.
Dean really is demented.
