Thread Name: BS: Howard Dean: New Face of Dem Party!
Subject: RE: BS: Howard Dean: New Face of Dem Party!
I have no gripe with Dean I think he's about the best the dem's have to offer the American people which is a sad statement, indeed. Granted the Rep's do a better job of raising money, they appeal to the world's wealthy & in turn the wealthy pay to guaranty their rich existence continues. The rigging of voting machines, the using of the mainstream media, the personal & political attacks on any & all opposing voices, the ruining of careers is all part of this guaranty. Now the dem's on the other hand know all this but are too scared to get into the middle of the ring & start punching back. Only a small percentage of the media have lately found enough backbone to start confronting the words of those who hold the court & the clout. I believe that the majority of the American people want & need to get some representation for their taxation. They want to know the facts in order to make an informed decision, they want the truth which the democratic party is too reluctant to speak out for. On one side there are many republicans that have the audacity to boldly promote programs that burden the middle & lower classes by increasing their taxes to the benefit of the wealthy. To pass legislation so that Wall Street will be able to increase their profit margins, so that the gun & drug manufacturers, the insurance companies, the profiteers of war, the oil giants, the world bankers, the plunders of natural resources can continue increasing their bankroll. On the opposing side we have here the self proclaiming bold faced Democrats who'll speak to these & other issues, NOT. Yes, they should all be screaming the truth & not leave the tough jobs to the few willing to stick their necks out. It's likely that the democrats will not jeopardize their careers no matter what the cost, while many republicans would risk all for a dollar. So it boils down to the brash for the sake of money, power or both, can get away with intimidating & bullying their way passed justice & steam roll right over We The People. It's enough to make anyone want to scream & to call things as they see it. Shame to those spineless do nothings that dare to raise their voice against their own party's chairman, who happens to be only one of the few that are willing to stand their ground, roll up their sleeves, get defensive (instead of taking a weak offence) & back up their mouths with their hands. Dean may not be the best but we could sure use more like him.
