Howard Dean: Women, Latinos "terrified" of GOP

(CBS News) Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean said Sunday that the policies promoted by the Republican Party have women and Latinos "terrified."

"Women are terrified of what the Republicans are talking about. They're talking about basically stripping away their ability to have insurance pay for their birth control pills," Dean said on "Face the Nation." "Latinos are terrified of the Republicans, because they seem to have a total tin ear when it comes to the basic needs of treating people with dignity.

"For Michele Bachmann to go on there and claim that women are going to vote for Mitt Romney is perfectly ridiculous," Dean said, referring to the Republican congresswoman who also appeared on "Face the Nation" Sunday.

Dean also suggested that "the average American thinks that Mitt Romney doesn't care about them. Here's a guy who's building, during a campaign, a mansion in Malibu with an elevator for his car," Dean said to Bob Schieffer. "He had a Swiss bank account and he invests in the Cayman Islands. I don't think we've ever elected a president who has invested in the Cayman Islands as a tax dodge before.

"This candidacy is a shipwreck", Dean said, "and for Michele Bachmann to go on there and claim that woman are going to vote for Mitt Romney is perfectly ridiculous."

That’s what ole Howie & the dems think of their group of voters - dependence on & of the state. Of course they have sucked these idiots into believing such. Again just be reminded of Alexander Tyler.

60 Minutes looked at his Cayman investments and concluded Romney paid exactly the same amount of taxes as he would have had the money stayed in the U.S. The directors did it to avoid shyster lawyers and lousy tort laws.

There is a point which Dean said is true, espcially here in Mexifornia. You almost cannot find a non-white Pubbie’. One of my best buds is a Filipino right-winger and extremely rare: he hates liberals more than I do. Makes most Freepers sound like DU forum trolls.

But the difference is that he’s independent-thinking and is not “shamed” that being rich makes you guilty, which is how liberals condition you in the media. The rest of them are just idiots.

Oh my goodness! The HORROR of not having someone else pay for birth control pills!! It's sure to break the bank of every woman in America and parts of Canada and Mexico!

And the Mexicans are never treated with the dignity they deserve for their behavior and demeanor here!! The HORROR!!

He’s been on CNBC a fair amount. He always when being interviewed tries to come across as this middle of the road guy,sure the other persons opinion has merit but always manages to toss out a bomb like in this article that totally distorts reality. He sets it up that way so that his idiocy appears to be common sense. It never is.

I think it’s funny that some RATS still think Howie is some sort of authority on anything.

“Latinos are terrified of the Republicans, because they seem to have a total tin ear when it comes to the basic needs of treating people with dignity.”


Really... Interesting... Hmmmm... I guess the Democrat idea of treating people is to treat them as “interest groups” and not as individuals who have their own individual dignity. But then individuals are much harder to work with, the democrats are inherently lazy and only want to deal with large homogenous groups that lend themselves to central planning.

As for myself I will still deal with people on an individual basis with the result that some of them I’ll like, some I won’t and most of them will be the kind I’ll ignore as they just want to be left alone and not be bothered.

What has free birth control pills got to do with dignity.

If you had any dignity you would sp[end the 20 bucks a month and buy your own.

Minorities, children, the elderly, metrosexuals, and people with purple hair are hiding under their beds quivering in fear.
