"Good morning, America! It's Friday morning, December 2nd, 2005, and I'm in Phoenix at the Democratic National Committee fall meetings. This morning I had the privilege of meeting with Gov. Howard Dean, Chairman of the DNC. I asked if I could get a photo with him and he said "You know they'll try to use it against you, don't you?"

This comment illustrates what I think is a serious problem in America today. We are more divided today than at any time I can remember in my lifetime. We have been divided by fear and hate to the point that we can't even remember all the things we have in common anymore. The Bush administration has used fear to divide us at every turn, and Tom Tancredo has used hate to do the same!"

This guy sounds very sincere to me.

"Jesus said that we should leave our gifts at the altar and go make peace with our brother before we dared to approach God for anything. I believe we have to apply that order to America as well. That is why this campaign will seek to unify Americans so that we can find real solutions to our problems, and not be dominated and divided by hate and fear!

I'm not a professional politician. I'm just a kid from Colorado who wants to serve my Country and my home. In every way that matters I'm just like YOU! Won't you stand with me and take back America? Go to www.WinterForCongress.com and join us!"

3. They would smear him as "liberal" or other good terms.
They use Dean that way a lot. It is really sad to see this continue. I don't know if he got the photo. You need to post at the diary and see.

Nearly all the right wing continues to use him as the picture of fringe lefty activism....he says sometime they may get it right.

4. Thanks for the clarification.
When the right goes after Dean, it tells me he is doing them damage. I am so comfortable with his as the DNC Chair. He can always do better as we all know but he is good for the Party.

5. Or maybe because he speaks against them so often.
Tancredo is one he goes after more than usual because of the immigration issue.

2. Sounds like one of us.
"I believe the majority of people in CD6 care about their fellow man. I believe the majority of people in CD6 want affordable, accessible health care for ALL Americans. I believe the majority of people in CD6 want better schools and better opportunities for their children and their families. I believe the majority of people in CD6 want realistic solutions to our immigration problems and to keeping American jobs in America!

I believe the majority of people in CD6 want the federal government to help us in the event of a disaster and not leave us to starve on rooftops. I believe the majority of people in CD6 want federal help to maintain our highways and help us find enough water for everyone. I believe the majority of people in CD6 want some kind of comprehensive security plan to keep us safe from terrorists as well as accidents and natural disasters."

11. Well, I am afraid Dean was right on this.
He figures someday people will figure out he never was that liberal. It is nice of him to say it to the guy, let him make up his own mind on it.

Bill Winter could win the seat for Congress from Colorado. It was really nice of Dean to warn him about using the photo with Dean "against him".

What was that outrageous thing that tracadero said and he wouldn't take it back?
