Oh yes, the power hungry were the ones who brought down Howard Dean in 2004. Isn’t it rather funny that the person who was supposed to remain neutral, namely Terry McAuliff as the then Chairman of the DNC, was appointed by Bill Clinton and became the head of Hillary Clinton’s campain (spelling intentional) was one of the loudest voices heard against Howard Dean? Howard Dean has always been a class act. As the present Chairman of the DNC he has remained absolutely neutral and has not said one word either for nor against any of the eight individual Democrats currently running for the Presidency. In fact he has praised the group as being the best slate of Democratic candidates ever to run.

To show you just how far the power elete in Washington stretches, I complained about James Carville and Paul Begaula and their ridiculous criticism of Howard Dean’s “50 State Strategy” that really WAS responsible for getting Democrats elected in 2006. Carville and his ilk and his DLC and Hillary connections are so blatantly obvious. As a result of my criticizing them for trying to get Dean fired when all he did was to succeed in getting grassroots Democrats elected, resulted in a personal phone call to me from Terry McAuliff attempting to “set the record straight”. He had the unmitigated gall to tell me that Hillary’s campaign supported Howard Dean and his 50 State Strategy.

Yes, they are still so afraid of Howard Dean because they know he is right. He is rebuilding the Democratic Party from the ground up and those coming in are eventually going to unseat those “do-nothing” Democrats who have held on to their power far too long. Howard is right….We have the power to take our country back!

Isn’t it amazing that every single one of the current candidates are all claiming to be for the very same issues that Howard Dean used in his 2004 stump speech? Those issues being: “End the war in Iraq, health care for all, early childhood development, get rid of ‘No child left behind’. keep jobs here in America and create new jobs through establishing renewable energy. restructure AFTA and WTO to give foreign workers union rights and protections, and restore America’s moral authority by using diplomacy and working with those who disagree with us rather than going to war.”

These were all the issues Howard Dean campaigned on in 2004 and he never got the credit for his foresight and common sense by the Media and the Beltway insiders. As I said before, Howard Dean is a class act and just think how different this world would be today had he not been taken down by his own party and gone on to the nomination and been elected.

America is on the verge of a revolution. It is brewing. The deep seated anger and pain of Americas is dismissed by the MSM. Fat Cats who all lined up behind Bush/Cheney and the Neoc0n band of thugs that stole the election in 2000 and 2004, are all lining up behind Hillary. The DLC was all about bringing the big dogs with the big checks back in the Democratic Party. So here we are 8 Years later. Ask yourself, are we better off with Bush/Cheney and their neoconservative cronies in office or would we have been better off had the Supreme Court and MSM not been complicit in allowing them to steal elections? The will of the American people was thwarted twice. History will recognize that the radical agenda commenced with the stolen elections and the “taint” of criminality in the Bush clan tracing back to WW II, the JFK Assassination etc. There are just too many historically “Incovenient Truths”. Challengers all disappear into thin air in random plane crashes, accidents and assasinations: JFK, RFK, MLK, Jr., JFK Jr., Paul Wellstone. And Hillary conveniently did not have to contend with a Democrat being elected in 2000 or 2008. You see the Clintons are simply criminals. Bringing change to America and serving the people has never been their goal. Ruling and having access to power has always been the only goal. Americans are slowly waking up. That is why the next attack will come with regards to “net neutrality” If they cannot dope up the population on alcohol, sex, entertainment and gossip than they will take away the last source of independent ideas and information. At that point, I certainly do hope that we have our Second Amendment Rights. Consider the following quote: “If the people knew what we had done, they would chase us down the street and lynch us.” George H.W. Bush to journalist Sarah McClendon, December 1992. You know what, maybe that is not such a bad idea after all. Democracy in America is dying. The ruling classes in this country have gone beyond greed to outright gluttony. There is no truth, honor and service. Those who had great love of the county and who showed great possibility are no longer here: RFK, MLK, Jr., JFK, Jr., Paul Wellstone. The Clintons relationship with the Bushes is so damn cozy. You have to wonder what George Magazine would be saying about this now or whether Paul Wellstone would have run for President in 2004 clipping short a second term for the 4th Reich. Who really is John Kerry? What role do people like him really play? Howard Dean was not a LIBERAL but he tapped into the pulse of America and cared perhaps a bit too much about regular people. Hence he had to be demonized and marginalized.

Wasn’t Dean…so long with his imprimatur over capital punishment in Vermont…very much for the death penalty? If that’s spot-on-target…isn’t there a “positive” correlation of “inclination” there for overseas “interventions”…? — Marcelle

Interesting listening to the Nadar – Dean debate again with the claim on the dire need to vote for Kerry. Two years later the Democrats won control of the Congress and the troops are still in Iraq. Apparently Nadar was correct in his critique of the Democrats.

They crushed him because he was sounding like he going to seriously flirt with single-payer health insurance and a return to organizing and representing the bottom half of the population. Tells you something about what we’d get in those areas from Killary Klinton (or any other “major” Dem), doesn’t it?

Screw em, penalize em, don’t waste your vote on them. Don;t waste your energies caring about what they say in the meantime, either. It’s all political marketing with these creeps.

More than any other, Joshua Frank’s book Left Out! opened my eyes to the moral deficit inherent in the Democratic Party.

It still needs to be read– and everybody who enjoys Dissident Voice should get a copy of it if they haven’t gotten one already.

As a reminder of who Dean really is and what he ever really stood for, I suggest everyone here also review the classic July 9, 2004 Annenberg C-Span debate between Howard Dean and Ralph Nader.

According to an ex-staff member in the national campaign office of the D party, it was Terry McAulif who was leaking all those negative evaluations about Mr.Dean to the major media! The big capital didn’t like Dean — they liked the big capital John Kerry!
