WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- This morning DNC Chairman Howard Dean appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press." The interview covered a wide range of topics from Washington Republicans' failed defense and domestic policies, to the war on the middle class and the need for a new direction in America. Below are excerpts from Governor Dean's appearance:
Republicans Have Failed America
"...I think President Bush is not doing his job on defense or domestically."
"...the American people are tired of George Bush's policies. They want a new direction in this country, and the voters have spoken... The way to help this country is to limit Republican power. They have failed in the budget. They have failed in Iraq. They have failed with Katrina."
"The Republicans hope, once again, to win an election based on fear. You know, fear-mongering, whining and complaining and name calling is not going to lead America. We need a new direction in America. We need a new direction to defend America and we need a new direction to make the homeland safe, not just in terms of safety from terrorists but safe for the middle class again." War On The Middle Class
"I just got back from North Dakota. There's not more than a war on terror going on in this country, there's a war on the middle class going on. You know, those folks need help. And we need help domestically. We need a change in this country. We need a new direction.

DR DEMENTO DEAN SPEAKS AGAIN.. LOL
SOP from the Party of Rats.
broken record, same ol same ol.
And yet Leiberman, who was the official proxy for President Bush, received the votes of 48% of the people voting in the DEMOCRAT primary.
48% of the people who were willing to vote in a DEMOCRAT primary in the middle of summer in Connecticutt voted in support of the "pro-Bush" candidate.
Meanwhile, the democrats continue thier "healing words" tour, talking about the "war on the middle class", making a mockery of the word when we have actual soldiers fighting an actual war against real enemies with real weapons.
Our soldiers are dying in this war, and the democrats are equating that with some "republican war on the middle class".
It's amazing that these losers have absolutely NOTHING substansive to offer America, it's all about how many people they can fool into thinking Bush has done a bad job.
Amazing how the left lacks so much wisdom.
Translation: We democrats, living in the richest nation in the world, are tired of spending a small amount of OUR wealth on people in other countries who are oppressed, tortured, and live in fear. Instead, they want to make sure we spend more money buying votes here in the U.S.A, to make sure the poorest among us can afford expanded cable so the destruction of our culture and moral heritage can be completed.
Howie Dean is clueless. He seems to think the louder he screams, the more people will notice his next failure.
Dean is a psychotic lying scumbag POS. He blames Bush for "cutting" Pell Grants and thereby making students unable to attend college, when in REALITY the Department of Education recalibrated the formula (based on state and local tax rates) used to determine these grants, which had not been updated for 15 years! State and local taxes are generally lower than they were back then (I WONDER WHY?;) so families have more money left over for their kids' college. REPUBLICANS, call this psycho on EVERY one of his FILTHY LIES!!!
Dean Finds Timing of Terrorist Plot Suspicious
Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee has assailed the “poor timing” of the recently thwarted al-Qaeda plot to blow up multiple trans-Atlantic flights from the United Kingdom to the United States. “We had the Republicans on the ropes,” Dean complained. “All the polls showed us picking up dozens of seats in Congress—enough to take back the majority and ensure the impeachment of President Bush, now this. Are these terrorists idiots? Couldn’t they wait until after November?”
Dean didn’t confine his wrath to what he dubbed “those bumbling Muslim nincompoops.” He offered an alternative take on events that was more conspiratorial in nature. “How do we know it’s not a put up job?” Dean mused. “It’s easy to arrest people and claim they were going to launch an attack. Maybe there was no planned attack.”
Dean asserted that the “trigger-happy duo” of Bush and Blair—the “killer Bs” as he called them—were, at best, escalating the violence against the U.S. and U.K. “These two act as if a ‘pluralistic society’ is the only acceptable way to govern,” Dean said. “Bush and Blair are risking our lives by foolishly espousing an abstract concept of liberty. Well, every suicide attack against us is a powerful vote for a different culture of governance. We need to take heed of these votes instead of blindly lashing out at this different point of view. The belligerence of Bush and Blair is escalating the conflict.”
Dean said he still remains hopeful that memories of the “alleged” narrow escape from this latest terrorist attack will fade by November. “Football season will be starting, there’ll be the World Series, a new TV season—plenty of things to distract voters from the alleged success of Bush’s war on terror,” Dean said. “I’m confident our ‘u-turn for America’ theme will convince a majority to place their trust in our party.”
In related news, the ACLU expressed dismay that a key tactic in the U.K.’s foiling of the plot to blow up airliners was a so-called “sneak-and-peek” program where British intelligence experts covertly broke into suspects homes and implanted listening devices. “This was an outrageous trampling of civil rights,” said ACLU spokesman, Bertram Petty. “Some may find comfort in the lives saved, but we see a greater danger in the privacy lost. We must do everything we can to ensure that this kind of intrusion doesn’t happen here.”

Surely the same-old same-old. Undermine the President on every defense initiative, and then complain he is not being aggressive enough on other issues.
I love your humor. It is so much harder to detect than "Scrappface." Could it be that you are channeling their actual thoughts instead of what they say?
Yup.. dean dean the screaming machine never changes.
Yes, I am channeling their thoughts, but it's wrecking my sleep.
