...you seem very happy about this... I always enjoy your posts...but you are usually more sedate! :-)

[Just Me]

3. I really am feeling the excitement, the hope, the inspiration Dean brings!

:toast:

:toast:

:toast:

Dean is a lean, mean, fighting machine!!!

I have greater reason to look forward to the future!!! :bounce:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

4. I think it would be very nice of him...

If he crafted and delivered a message especially for DU. Right here.

Get off on the best possible footing. Heal some wounds and fissures that exist in the larger Dem community.

[MoonRiver]

5. Today, I am, once again, proud to call myself a

DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bounce::party::toast::party::bounce:

:loveya: HOWARD DEAN!!

[Joanne98]

6. We love you Howard!!!!!!!!!

[frustrated_lefty]

7. Hot damn.

The first smart thing this party has done since the Texas dems fled out of state.

[Guaranteed]

8. God DAMN, listen to this guy!!

The Republicans are bringing "Enron style accounting to Washington!"

THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME.

[Just Me]

10. His conviction is shining through!!!!

He "empowers" people with his own conviction!!! He does so in a clear and articulate way!!!

That's why he is such an exceptional leader!!!

[Guaranteed]

11. This is REAL LEADERSHIP.

It's freaking BEAUTIFUL.

It's like I can't even believe it.

This is the beginning of something really great.

[Tinoire]

12. Yes it is.

I just had a flashback of Dean telling Trippi "how could you do this to me" and guess what, it gave me the warm fuzzies because this is a man of character. This is a man who says what he means, means what he says and most of all, values loyalty. Dean will be as loyal to the voters as it gets.

He's saying all the right things. For us. You have to love it!

[Individualist]

15. The man for the people!

Dean is a breath of fresh air.

[Tinoire]

9. Congratulations to the people!

Congratulations to the Dean machine that's reinvigorating politics and trying to put the reins of the Democratic party back in the hands of the people.

Most of all, congratulations to the antiwar voice for getting someone in there who may not have necessarily been as antiwar as his supporters but who got it, got the message and ran with it for us.

This is a great day for Democratic voters.

Howard Dean... How Democrats got their groove back.

[itzamirakul]

16. Tinoire...I love it!

"Howard Dean...How the Democrats got their Groove Back"

Wonderfully put as usual...:)

[WI_DEM]

13. Congrats, Dr. Dean!! Now the hard part begins

Good Luck.

[itzamirakul]

14. Actually...they had no choice

but to elect him because WE THE PEOPLE made the choice for them as it SHOULD be.

I am delighted. Got to send him an email of congrats now...:):) :)

[JI7]

17. what i really look forward to

is Dean's debate against Republican Chair Ken Mehlman .

does anyone know when the first one will happen ? or around what time ? i know the previous Dem and Rep Chairs debated at times but i never paid attention if it was based on any specific schedule or events.

[Guaranteed]

18. No clue. But that'll be something.

They haven't gone up against someone the likes of Dean in a long, long time.

[TheOriginalAmerican]

19. Howard's the man!

If anybody can piss on the GOP agenda, it's him.

[janx]

20. It's official!!!!!

YYEEAARRGGHHH!!!

[MNAZ]

21. Congrats to the doctor....

but I'm afraid the GOP is happy to. My friends over there said it's who they wanted in the position. They feel they can paint us as extremists now more than ever.

Howard seems to be coming to the center...he states that we are not for gay marriage or that we're not for abortion. It's interesting that those are two of his first comments since being elected.

[NYCGirl]

22. Jeez, are you mistaken in so many ways! NT

[Guaranteed]

23. We're not for abortion rights?

What in the hell are you talking about? He didn't say that.

And he's not an extremist. I heard that same bullshit earlier. It's totally ridiculous.

[MNAZ]

26. Here's his quotes on gay marriage and abortion

Democrats are not pro-abortion, but "we are the party in favor of allowing women to make up their own minds about their health care," Dean, a physician, said.

Democrats are not for gay marriage, but "we are the party that has always believed in equal rights under the law for all people," he said.

Sounds like he's trying to paint the party as less left and more to the center. Rather Clintonian of him.

[Guaranteed]

27. Yeah, you got that here, right?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1341795/posts

I got news for you guys. Dean is going to KICK...YOUR...ASSES.

Enjoy! ;)

BTW, what Dean said, there? Those are called VALUES. You know, like LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL?

[MNAZ]

31. nope got it here

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6958538/

The Doctor will make some changes, you can count on that.

[New Earth]

33. it's really not that hard to understand

what he is saying is really not hard to understand. it is more supporting the legalization of abortion and gay marriage, even if one does not personally agree with the idea of someone else having it. it is more of an individual right and liberty.

[Adelante]

30. Hope you didn't take your coat off

Welcome to DU, MNAZ :hi:

GO, HOWARD!!

[janx]

34. Friends "over there" ?

Howard Dean is no extremist. He's a fiscal conservative and a centrist.

[Guaranteed]

35. Don't worry, the Freepers are going to get to know him a WHOLE

lot better over the next....

FOUR YEARS!!!!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!

And an AWESOME four years they will be...

[janx]

38. Well they're clearly interested already...

and seem almost obsessed with Dean. They even have a "live" thread to cover the event! ;-)

[slutticus]

42. "They feel they can paint us as extremists....."

Then you go on to state... "Howard seems to be coming to the center..."

If you can't even stop from contradicting yourself in the same post, maybe you need to go back for some extra training. You know what I mean.

[Zhade]

47. Sigh...you guys are DESPERATE.

Nice try, though.

[mzmolly]

24. YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

36. When Bushit stole the election and was sworn in on 1/20

I was going to leave the party.....THEN I actually believed just maybe the delegates would do the right thing and election DEAN. I decided to wait and see on 2/12.......Well, they did the right thing and I am so thrilled. He is the ONLY man whom right now can unite and invigorate this party.........Dr Dean...GOD SPEED!

[PassingFair]

39. Oh No! "He's going to make us DO stuff"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Dean Day, everyone!
Happy Lincoln's B-Day!
