What reason will Dean give people to vote?
Edited on Sat Dec-20-03 05:50 PM by AngryMNDem
We're going to give people a reason to vote again... -Howard Dean, on numerous occasions

Sure I have a reason to vote, as I'm sure many people do. But what reason will Howard Dean give people to get out there on Election Day and vote?

9. Well as my friend Justin says: Considering how much my property
taxes went up, I did not get any money out of any tax cut at the federal level.

14. Anybody who would sell their constitution for a tax cut
Doesn't deserve the title of "citizen", in my view.

19. Best reason: to eliminate Rovian memes from the system
I am so sick of "machine generated talking points" being regurgitated everywhere.

6. That's all I've got
I have no damned idea what to say to mainstream non-DU type people to get them to vote for Dean. Except, hey, he's not Bush.

8. People love surprises, and they can't wait to see what's in his
records as soon as he's forced to open them before the general election.

15. And they'll probably be bored to tears, once they...
... get a look at what's actually inside them.

My prediction: Massive disappointment on the part of those hoping for a 'smoking gun'... :shrug:

16. End four years of attacks on our Constitution.
If that's not a good enough reason, Mr. or Miss Potential Voter, you're taking up valuable breathing space.

18. Same reason he gave them to donate
smashing all records for donations to a democratic candidate in the process.

He's going to articulate a message that resonates with people. This is why 40% of the Meetup attendees are/were not registered to vote, registered greens, independents, or republicans.

The empowerment of people and not a party machine is the reason.
Someday the party machine candidates and their followers will understand this.
