In PROOF that the Democrats have not changed their stripes, we get these quotes from DNC Chairman Howard Dean on Friday:
"The issue is not abortion," Dean told the closed-door fund-raiser. "The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do."
And Dean told the Hiebert fund-raiser that gay marriage was a Republican diversion from discussions of ballooning deficits and lost American jobs. That presents an opportunity to attract moderate Republicans, he said.
"Moderate Republicans can't stand these people (conservatives), because they're intolerant. They don't think tolerance is a virtue," Dean said, adding: "I'm not going to have these right-wingers throw away our right to be tolerant."
And concluding his backyard speech with a litany of Democratic values, he added: "This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good."
This is the same rhetoric the Dems used in the 2004 election. Nothing has changed. The Democrats are still dividing the nation and then blaming Republicans for the nation divided. Calling Conservatives evil (Dean refused to let media into the event but his quotes got out just the same) is not going help his party pick up more southern states as the party has said is their goal.
So be it that The Democrats will suffer more staggering losses in 2006 and probably 2008 as well. It is going to take a lot just to stop the bleeding, with Howard Dean leading the party, it just might bleed to death.
