Dean Shreds * again
BOSTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean
invoked Boston's revolutionary legacy on Tuesday as he urged
Americans to dump their latter-day ``king'' -- George W. Bush -- whom he accused of threatening democracy and caring only for the very rich.

In a speech to thousands of supporters, Dean said next year's
election was about protecting American democracy from ``a narrow band of right-wing ideologues'' who were trampling the U.S. Constitution.

``This democracy and the flag of the United States do not belong to Rush Limbaugh, and Jerry Falwell, and Tom DeLay, and John Ashcroft, and Dick Cheney,'' Dean said as he listed prominent conservatives.

``This flag and this country belong to us and we want our country
back.'

Although he was on the home turf of a leading rival, Sen. John Kerry
of Massachusetts, Dean never mentioned any of his opponents in the
upcoming Democratic primaries.


Instead, he stuck to a strategy that has helped make him a front-
runner among Democrats: focusing his criticism squarely on Bush, whom he said was dividing Americans by race, class, religion and sexual orientation.

Note the part about not mentioning his rivals.

Kick ass , Howard!!!!

9. Good man...
I am very, very proud to be a Dean supporter. I'll vote ABB in the general election, but I sure hope Dean makes it. He tears Bush a new asshole like no other.

It must be his medical experience.

13. Thank you!
I only joined up yesterday and so far it's been great. Everyone's been making me feel very welcome, and it's great meeting people who feel the way I do about the mess we're in.

I'm really happy to meet other Dean supporters, but I'll be happy to vote for just about any of the other guys. BUSH MUST GO, period.

See you around the boards.

12. keep shouting the truth, doctor!
I will always remember how much it helped when Dean started rolling in February. He was a lightning rod for so many people who were losing their minds over our deep descent into fascist imperialism

16. It was good live. I drove up from CT to Boston to see him.
He gives a good speech.I even ran into two guys I knew from Maine I hadnt seen in a few years that I thought were a-political that came down on a bus to see him.

I would like to see Clark speak also.
