20. Okay, I know I'm asking for it, because I don't plan to elaborate, but
Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 03:33 PM by BlueIris
I despise Howard Dean. Most of the reason I think we should dump him as chairman is my extreme dislike for his positions. I don't believe they're representative of the Party, the left or anything remotely resembling progressivism, especially on the subject of issues of choice. Putting a man like Dean in charge at this time will go down in history as one of the biggest blunders the DNC has ever made. Thankfully, I think it's repairable, but only if he goes. Want a better reason? The lack of money coming in. Yes, I know, many people are claiming that this problem isn't endemic to Dean and won't improve with a different person at the helm but--come on. It may not be the biggest problem he's caused, but it's not nothing either. I don't care if it makes us look disorganized (a charge that is mostly RW-generated media myth, anyhow). This isn't working. The answer to a crisis like this is a change, not more of the same.
