3. Hail, Hail, Howard Dean! Read this Excerpt: by Mr. Dean
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 01:17 PM by YankeeLeft7x
When some people say we should change direction, in essence they are arguing that our basic or guiding principles can be altered or modified. They cannot.

On issue after issue, we are where the majority of the American people are.

What I want to know is at what point did it become a radical idear to stand up for what we believe?

Fifty years ago, Harry Truman said that "We're not going to get anywhere by trimming or by appeasing. And we ought not to try it."

And we are still making the same mistakes.

Lemme tell you something: there is only one thing that the Republican power brokers want more than for us to lurch to the left -- and that's for us to lurch to the right.
