Everyone needs to chill on the Howard Dean/White House fight
because there is NONE, this is what makes Democrats greater or different from the
Republicans, the beauty to have disagreement amongst ourselves on issues pertaining to
the betterment of the American people, try seeing that from the other side.

They are allowed to have disagreement on policies, thats what separates us from them.

So let us take some timeout and log off from the computer and go do some Christmas
shopping and allow these folks to discuss real ishuews :P


Chill people....

21. btw Savannah Guthrie spoke directly to the WH officials who said it...
It's hardly her fault that they're always too chicken to say shit like this on the record.

2. uhhh, NO--calling Dr., Dean irrelevant, implying that he has hidden motives, that he is unstable,
is the cowardice and bs of the reich. it has NO place on the democratic side at all.

4. They could have used
other words, yes, but, lets just allow them to do the peoples work instead of us
throwing energy to an invisible light.

6. as of now, I believe they're doing the insurance companies work and
big pharma's work, and they're trying to marginalize anyone who's pointing this out.

that they are doing the bidding of corporate america.

as for the "different words" bs--doesn't matter, if the intent is the same. what a bloody weak defense.

8. People haven't chilled out on the revisionist history of
the 04 primaries/election. So me doesn't expect them to chill out on this deal either.

Though your comments make sense. This is getting too ugly.

12. I hope it gets unglier
The bottom line is that the administration is running with the wrong crowd here- and in so doing is going to cost itself and everyone else dearly.

14. Gibbs smeared Dean. Called him "irrational." And WH praises Holy Joe.
It's over, man.

15. Dean already walked back his opposition today.
Read his op-ed in the Washington Post and you will see that the conditions he sets as a bare minimum for support are already contained in the bill.

16. They are allowed to have disagreement on policies
Certainly they are. But the White House is not entitled to an odious smear job on one of the best darn Democrats we've had for 70-80 years while molly coddling and complimenting a vile, demented, vengeful, narcissist.

Howard Dean is perfectly rational. He has a disagreement with the White House and the wimpy Dem Senators on how to achieve the goal of real health reform.

Joe Lieberman is not rational. He disagrees with himself - back and forth - in order to line up against just about everything the Dems were elected to accomplish.

19. Of course! That's why we participate in a Democratic Party political blog in the first place!
So we can tune out momentous occurrences in our party, and go shopping and stuff, and not worry our pretty little heads about it and just let the politicians discuss the issues and make the decisions for us!
