(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."

[[ There is a point which Dean said is true, espcially here in Mexifornia. You almost cannot find a non-white Pubbie’. ]]
The shape of things to come.
When are those who repeatedly recite the mantras, “We have to make the Republican party more attractive to Latinos! We have to make the Republican party more attractive to blacks!”
.... finally going to wake up?
I think there is an old and wise quote for Republicans when it comes to the world of Howard Dean: “Never take the advice of those that want to see you fail.”
Defining terms helps in any discussion.
“Women”: middle-aged students dating millionaires needing free birth control
“Latinos”: illegal alien deadbeats wishing to suckle at Uncle Sam’s withered teats
Rabble rouser Dean thinks the Occupy movement is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
If anyone knows the definition of ‘terrified’, it’s Howie Dean who, as Governor of VT, was scared stiff to appear outside Montpelier or Burlington without his ‘security squad’. Come on back to the Field Days this summer Ho-Ho, and don’t forget your signature ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ look.
It's time that Republicans started slipping words like this in their rhetoric.
How about talking about how Democrats have enslaved workers?

Even if that were completely true, why the heck can't the female private citizen in this country have the freedom to choose a health insurance policy which covers what's worth protecting and reduces the premium by not covering expenses she can handle herself? Ah, yes, for lefties like Dean, you must do as Big Brother mandates!
It'll be interesting to see how much screaming we'll get out of our friend Howard when and if the SCOTUS decides the Obamacare individual mandate to be unconstitutional.
It’s in La Jolla, not Malibu. To an Easterner like Dean, it’s all the same. :)
I think he’s actually building it near San Diego. Howard Dean was simply wrong about the town.
Dean is right about Romney’s campaign being a shipwreck, though.
I'm not a big Romney fan, but the truth of the matter is that a good number of political pundits, such as Dick Morris, would strongly disagree.
In any case, Howard Dean is a shrieking moron..
You got that right.
Everytime Republicans suckup to hyphenates---America and Americans get royally screwed.
Bush got duped by the hyphenated neocons---the pukeneos duped Bush into pouring trillions af dollars and oceans of young blood into countless corrupt Mideast hellholes.
Once they got into the party, the hyphenated pukes began kicking social conservatives to the curb. So/cons were no longer welcome.....the stupid pukes advanced their hidden agenda unimpeded.
Ask yourself this. How much safer and financially stable would America be without the screwy hyphenates AND stupid pukeneos in our midst?
