33. My HERO!

Wed Oct 22, 2014, 06:33 PM

Oct 2014

In those dark days with Ashcroft telling us we'd better not 'dare' to be against this war or we would be called un-
American, traitors! And there was this bit of being a little careful on the internet, no kidding.

And then HOWARD DEAN stood up and said "This war is bullshit!"...or in any other words.
He gave us a voice. They had to get rid of him. First one to really use the internet, and want small
donations from the average American... looking for health reform. Wanted to bull-doze Abu Gharaib.
OH yeah.. they had to stop him. Tweaked the speech he gave where he was doing a 'come to arms' cry
and cut out the crowd sounds, which were WAY louder. Disgusting what the media did with it.

But ...he's still around, doing what he can. Always my inspiration.

He botched the way the party responded to Florida's primary issue in 2008. Tommy_Carcetti Oct 2014 #13

He upheld party rules. PassingFair Oct 2014 #32

He could have easily sanction state party officials without stripping the delegate vote... Tommy_Carcetti Oct 2014 #70

I personally had nothing to do with changing the date. Yet it was my vote that was disenfranchised.. Tommy_Carcetti Oct 2014 #77

Perhaps Florida and Michigan will follow the schedule this time! PassingFair Oct 2014 #80

Perhaps the DNC will act more wisely than it did in 2008.... Tommy_Carcetti Oct 2014 #81

The voters in Michigan wanted to stay with the original primary PassingFair Oct 2014 #82

So why did the DNC under Dean choose to punish them and Florida's Democrats as well? Tommy_Carcetti Oct 2014 #83

I did not feel "punished" PassingFair Oct 2014 #84
