Reply #27: County chair takes up for Dusty....writes Howard Dean that he's great Democrat.

[madfloridian]

Somewhere along the line we have lost touch with what is being a good Democrat. Sorry, Tim Burke...Dusty was rude, very rude, to most of us in the party.

Once again, Howard Dean was right, we are right....and we have GOT to stop enabling Dems who act like Republicans.

Chairman Dean

Jeff took you up on your suggestion and passed on to me your email to him calling for the replacement of Dusty Rhodes. Unfortunately his email to you failed to adequately describe Dusty Rhodes.

Yes Dusty is conservative, among the most conservative members of our party. I frequently disagree with his opinions, as I disagree with his opinions on talk radio. The Hamilton County Democratic Party supported liberal talk radio hear in Cincinnati, particularly Jerry Springer, who annually is our biggest supporter not just in terms of his financial contributions but in helping out in many other ways as well."

So Dusty is on talk radio where he can voice his opinions...and call himself a Democrat while calling the rest of us socialists....makes me angry.

What is wrong with Ohio Democrats? Are they like our Florida ones who would stand up for Republicans rather than us?
