I'm not sure where Howard Dean is going with all of this. But where it is, I like it. For far too long Democrats have tried to play the peacemakers and the placaters to these extremist groups on the right.
On the Today show Howard said the Republican party was mainly for Christian white people. Exactly. Bingo. The responses I have read have been shock about the characterization, but no defense from it. It's all, "we have to get away from characterizations", not hard numbers about the diversity of the party. Why? Because they are the party of Christian white people. Duh.
The other response I heard was on right wing radio this morning. The woman said she was offended because she is a woman. Howard didn't say Christian white male. He said Christian and white, both of which she is. I'm not sure what her problem is. Besides being a lunatic fringer right wing Christo-fascist.
So, go Howard!
