Dean rips Romney in a telephone interview. Said the GOP field was out of the 50s.

In an interview with the Providence Journal before a visit to Little Compton tomorrow night, he blasted the GOP candidates.

Howard Dean (no Rove fan) heading here

I really got a kick out of what he said about Romney.

..."Dean derided the GOP field as something out of the 1950s, and he has a point..."

..."Tearing into the former Massachusetts governor, Dean said, “Romney’s campaign basically is, ‘I want to be president because I want to be president.’ He appears to be willing to say and do anything. He was for gay rights before he was against them. He was for abortion rights before he was against them. He was for immigrant rights before he was against them. I have yet to find a moral core.”

He also had a lot to say about Karl Rove.

Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, can barely contain himself in assessing Karl Rove, soon to depart from the White House.

“People will remember him as someone who did enormous damage to our country,” Dean said yesterday in advance of a DNC fundraiser in Little Compton tomorrow night. In a telephone interview, Dean, the former Vermont governor who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, said Rove put the Republican Party’s interests ahead of the country’s. “He was good at winning elections, but he’s been probably the most divisive person that we’ve had in politics for probably two decades.”

Dean said Rove was willing to “scapegoat” any group necessary. You will remember the Republican move to build 2004 conservative voter turnout through anti-gay marriage referenda. Dean said African-Americans have been another target through George Bush’s harping on affirmative action programs as quotas.

8. You bet

He is the MAN. Now he has to take the dems from Rham Emanuel and Steny Hoyer and their ilk. They would let us lose so that they can take over. I hate both of them. We should support Dean in his trying to get the lower offices filled with dems.
