Dean Urges Dems to Court Pro-Life Voters

WASHINGTON -- Democrats need to reach out to voters who
oppose abortion rights and promote candidates who share
that view, the head of the party said Friday.

Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, told a group of college Democrats that their
party has to change its approach in the debate over
abortion.

"I think we need to talk about this issue differently,"
said Dean. "The Republicans have painted us as a pro-
abortion party. I don't know anybody in America who is
pro-abortion."

Dean's approach echoed similar arguments advanced in
recent months by former President Clinton and Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.

"We do have to have a big tent. I do think we need to
welcome pro-life Democrats into this party," said Dean.

SNIP....

DeLay spokesman Kevin Madden said, "Howard Dean's rants
are a perfect example of why the American people have
lost faith in the national Democratic party."

Well if you cant get people to vote for the anti-family,
pro drugs, pro abortion, pro puncturing the scull of
a child and sucking his/her brains out with a vacuum,
pro homosexual, pro lesbian, pro perversion, party of
of death……

We will just lie to you and get you to vote for your own death.

Heh, heh. He has no idea that the RATS have painted themselves into a corner on this issue.

Should we start a pool on how soon he retracts ...excuse me, "clarifies"...this statement? Or has he already?

Good timing Howie. The rest of your party is busy telling us we can't have a Supreme Court Justice who opposes abortion.

"...I don't know anybody in America who is pro-abortion."

That's odd, Dr. Dean, cuz we sure do! But let's take your word for it and ban the practice, just to test your theory.

It doesn't matter how you talk about it Dr. Dean. Your party has enabled more than a million abortions a year. Every time a woman makes a choice to have an abortion there's a baby that never had a chance to have a birthday.

Dean Urges Dems to Court Pro-Life Voters

In order to do that, they'd have to run Pro-Life candidates.

Ain't ever gonna happen. Democrats, like Islamofascists, belong to a Cult of Death.

Well said. I was going to translate it this way: "We must become more effective at fooling people."

As a pro lifer I wouldn't vote for a pro-choice candidate for any office. I will work against any pro-choicer for any office.
I expect anyone of conscience to do likewise.
Just trying to get into heaven.

Snort----Dumbocrats proving they're like a bowl of cereal---a bunch of flakes.

Howie wants to change the words but the actions will remain the same.

Howie, listen up, if all of your elected party members and its adherents, supporters and financiers, scream and yell anytime pro-lifers try to pass legislation to defend the unborn, that's a "Big Clue" that your party is pro-abortion.

Just look how wary the libs are of Justice Roberts. "He wants to reverse Roe v Wade". Dean and the rest of the freak RATs are clueless.

The only good R v W has done for this country, is stop the RAT party from producing 43 million more voters, most who would probably vote for RATs.
