Inside Politics: Dean says something strange.

:wtf:

This is not flame bait.

Dean says voters should sweep out all democrats in D.C. because they have not accomplished prescription drug coverage in so long. Is he kidding? He probably did not mean to say this in this way, but he said the words. It was something like "they ought to sweep them out for not getting anything done in washington. It is one thing to say that you are better qualified, but to go further and say that they should be swept out of their Senate jobs is another. I'm sure that he does not mean that, does he? He was defending against remarks by Kerry, but why go that far? Is it okay to say anything in defense?

This is not flame bait. I just want to know if he says this in his stump speeches.

I'd provide a link, but it was just said.

Edited to add quote:

"The truth is a third of all the seniors in Vermont have prescription drug benefits. The people who are running, have served in Washington together for almost a century. Tell me what seniors have to show for their stay in Washington and compare to what Seniors have with prescription benefits. If you want change in Washington you had better get rid of all the democrats and the republicans who have sat on prescription drug benefits for all these years and support somebody who's actually delivered them to seniors. I've delivered it. Those guys can say whatever they want about my approach to medicare. oh course I support Medicare, but I want health insurance for every single man, woman and child in america and I've come closer to delivering that than any of my washington opponents."
