I adore Howard Dean, he speaks for me. I never get sick of Dean

[texpatriot2004]

every time he goes on one of those talk shows he is spot on. He is brilliant and effective and efficient with his words; always gets the message out and hits the important notes.

The statements issued from him (the DNC) are fantastic too. He's a tiger and he's fighting for me, for many. Thanks Dr. Dean, many thanks.

I only regret that currently I cannot afford to give the DNC the money that they so deserve and that I would gladly, gratefully give to Dr. Dean's cause.

[madfloridian]

1. Thanks for that. I gave some extra tonight....count it as yours.

He is a fighter indeed.

[texpatriot2004]

9. Hey thanks, that's very generous of you :-) nm

[mestup]

2. The next time I'm able to give, I'll add some for you!

I love to hear him speak, too. I don't know if that means he should be Prez, or if he serves a greater purpose speaking from his current position, I just know I like to hear his support of working America!

[aquart]

4. He's perfect where he is right now.

[texpatriot2004]

10. That's very nice of you, thanks. n.t

[Wetzelbill]

3. he is awesome to hear in person

I have always been impressed by him whenever he is on one of the Sunday morning shows etc. He's always on fire. He just keeps getting better and better too. When he first was running for president he wasn't all that polished, but he really took to a major campaign once he got going. He still is a bundle of fire and emotion a lot of the time, but his ability to get a message across and resonate has really come a long way. Howard is doing big things right now, as are others in our party, so I just find this to be an exciting time for Dems. We are on the verge of breaking through and doing some great things.

5. Billy boy.....

.... Ah, nevermind...

[Wetzelbill]

7. oh so that's how it is.....

:silly:

And, to think, I thought you were my friend. :)

[_dynamicdems]

6. He's a good man and one heck of a Dem!

Howard Dean has done a great job at the DNC, but I know how you feel about not being able to give any money. I can't afford $1. right now, but I wish I could. Republicans never seem to have that problem, eh?

[texpatriot2004]

12. Yeah, when you sell your soul to satan I guess you get plenty of

cash eh.

[NVMojo]

8. right on!

[Wetzelbill]

11. BTW, please visit my " I am so sick of Howard Dean" thread.....

It's great fun, and educational too!

[Wetzelbill]

13. well, looks like you killed the thread, buddy

:)

[texpatriot2004]

21. Who killed it? nm

[Wetzelbill]

23. looks like I did

:)

[texpatriot2004]

24. Oh, sorry to hear that. n.t

[Wetzelbill]

25. What's even more disturbing is that I replied to myself

and told myself that I killed the thread. That was my "Beautiful Mind" moment of the day I think. :)

But, on the bright side, I did recommend this thread.

[texpatriot2004]

26. Oh, thanks. I just love those moments eh. It's late...or early I am

not sure.

[Wetzelbill]

27. it would probably qualify as early right now

but then again, I am barely coherent and fighting sleepiness, so I could be wrong. I am one Joe Leiberman thought away from crashing out cold for the night. :)

[texpatriot2004]

28. Indeed. I think I will try to sleep now. A very good night to you. n.t

[Wetzelbill]

29. yeah good night to you as well nt

[Kurovski]

17. Really you guys, you can read how I met Dean in a gay bar.

Check out Wetzelbill's linked thread.

Howard Dean is plain spoken and brilliant.

[FogerRox]

53. DR Dean I saw him kill 3 kittens

[dorktv]

14. I get to see him next mooooooooooooonth!

*brags*

[Wetzelbill]

16. where at?

More important do you need me to be your date? I will sacrifice my honor you know. :)

[dorktv]

18. I could use a third escort. At the DNC meeting!

I am going to be there for all of it.

[Wetzelbill]

19. yes, I come at a reasonable price too

:)

[dorktv]

20. I have to pay for it? Forget it.

I will make do with Andrew and Jesse.

[Wetzelbill]

22. psh, you don't know what you're missing

I'm worth at least a couple of Canadian loonies anyway. :)

[calimary]

31. I got to shake his hand at the CA Dem convention back in April.

THRILLING!!! Showed him my "The Doctor is IN" button that I had pinned to my lapel. I was walking on air for the rest of the weekend. He's short, I'll say that. But he proves the cliche that good things come in little packages.

[dorktv]

42. Oh I have seen him a zillion times.

Everytime he has come to AZ actually.

[kster]

15. I did to but

Dean hasn't said much about this, go here and click on Video:

30. I'll donate a little on your behalf, too, when I get a bit ahead.

Already donated a fifth recommendation to this thread! :D

My heart will ALWAYS belong to "Hollerin' Howard." He speaks for me. And I'M screaming, too!

His statements ARE fantastic. And you've got to admit, these three big victories we enjoyed last Tuesday DID come on his watch, after all. That's more than you could say for ol' Terry-baby, who presided over so many losing elections for Democrats. All the fund-raising in the world doesn't make a damn bit of difference if you don't win. To win, you also have to have better ideas and shrewder tactical thinking. And you have to be willing to speak out, speak the truth, hit back, and hit back HARD.

[ananda]

32. I so agree..

My dream team is Dean-Kucinich.

I sure can dream...

[Wetzelbill]

46. ohhhhh now that I can handle....

I wouldn't mind seeing a Dean-Brian Schweitzer ticket in some way shape or form.

[0007]

33. I'll make a small donation today.

I agree with ya, about Dean. I only wish he'd run.

[Missy Vixen]

34. Howard Dean still screams for me

We're lucky to have him, and all the referenced article is doing is rehashing crap most likely fed to them by people within the party who are scared of someone who has a backbone...

Julie

[Wetzelbill]

47. you should read the referenced article and see for yourself nt

[dogday]

35. If he stands for end the war

I am right there with him. End the war... End the war.....

[UrbScotty]

36. Agreed. He's not perfect, but damn, he's good. (nt)

[PDittie]

37. "We have the power, and

now we're about to use it."

[madfloridian]

38. Isn't that what he said on the conference call with Jim Dean?

Aha! It was a beautiful thing.

[PDittie]

40. Yep

Last weekend we went to a birthday party for a DFA board member, a woman locally who is one of the self-described "Crushies". Among her vast collection of Dean-o-bilia is a lifelike mask (like one of those full-head pull-over Halloween things).

I told her boyfriend that her birthday present ought to be him wearing nothing but the mask, standing on the bed over her, and declaring: "I HAVE THE POWER"!

They laughed 'til they cried. Apparently playing that bedroom game hadn't yet occurred to them.

[wryter2000]

39. He's the best

IMHO, the first inklings that we might crawl out of the muck came with the attention his campaign in 2004 got. Certainly, Kucinich was espousing even more progressive views than Dean and had been doing so for longer, but it was Dean's delivery and passion that excited large numbers of people. That, in turn, got the press involved, and people started to realize that the country was a mess and most Americans did NOT like where we were headed.

There have been other major drives behind what appears to be the beginning of a return to sanity - Camp Casey and the heartless, soulless response to the horrors of Katrina :cry:. But I believe Dean was the start.

I still have my Dean for America poster in my window, just below the postcard from his campaign saying "Together, we're taking our country back."

[CrispyQ]

41. One of the things I like best about him is that he

smiles & laughs. You don't see that often with politicians being interviewed. The general is good at that too. What a great team they would be! Dean & Clark or Clark & Dean -- I'd take it either way!

[mandyky]

43. Never have, never will

get sick of Dean! When I get nostalgic, I go to CSpan and watch his DNC winter meeting speech or read the transcript I have saved! I am dead serious.

Today I am thinking about looking on the CSpan site for Fitz's press conference from a few weeks ago! I am in a fighting mood!

[Johnny Noshoes]

51. I've got a campaign DVD

one of the things I picked up in New Hampshire when I volunteered there in Jan 04. I still watch that every now and then.

"I'd also like to say that whatever it is that Howard Dean knows, or whatever it is that he eats for breakfast every morning, if I could give it to every other Democratic office holder and would-be office holder, we would immediately become the majority in the Congress and we would have about 35 governors."

- President Bill Clinton, Nov. 12, 1997

[AntiCoup2K4]

44. YEEEEAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!

Howard Dean still speaks for me!

[mzmolly]

45. We have a democracy bond and contribute to the DNC monthly. Just a small

amount, but it's a great "idear." I think there are other ways to "give" and I'm certain you contribute Texpatriot2004.

:hi:

[texpatriot2004]

48. kick it nm

[hippiechick]

49. Same here !

We need more Dems to be like him -- roll up their sleeves and go at the fundies with all they got.
