Dean and the Dems Have No Plan
The three of you who read this blog when it's updated may recall in a previous post where I mentioned that the Dems were a party without values and without an agenda. A party of finger pointing and blamegaming but with no direction. Well, the moron, Dr. Howard Dean, made it clear what the Democratic agenda involves--nothing. Take a look at this transcript from Meet the Press:
MR. RUSSERT: But those are words that will appeal to people. But when you go behind them, for example, what is the Democratic position on Iraq? Should we withdraw troops now? What do the Democrats stand for?He continues on dodging Russert's questions. Take a look at the whole thing. What really annoys me is how this guy will make a statement like the one about the prospective black student. It's really just disgusting to me that he not only dodges questions about the direction of the Democrats, of which there is none, but has the audacity to make such a claim that the "Republicans" want to stop this "kid" from going to school.DR. DEAN: Tim, first of all, we don't control the House, the Senate or the White House. We have plenty of time to show Americans what our agenda is and we will long before the '06 elections.
MR. RUSSERT: But there's no Democratic plan on Social Security. There's no Democratic plan on the deficit problem. There's no specifics. They say, "Well, we want a strong Social Security. We want to reduce the deficit. We want health care for everyone," but there's no plan how to pay for it.
DR. DEAN: Right now it's not our job to give out specifics. We have no control in the House. We have no control in the Senate. It's our job is to stop this administration, this corrupt and incompetent administration, from doing more damage to America. And that's what we're going to do. We're doing our best. Look at the trouble they're having putting together a budget. Why is that? Because there's still a few moderate Republicans left who don't think it's OK to cut school lunch programs, who don't think it's OK to do some of the appalling things that they're doing in their budget. I saw a show last night which showed a young African-American man in California at the UC of Davis who hoped to go to law school. The Republicans want to cut $14 billion out of higher education so this kid can't go to law school. We're going to do better than that, and together, America can do better than that.
It has become quite obvious that the Democrats have no answers for the American people. The head of their own party can't answer simple questions such as the party's stance on what exactly the answer is to the Iraq situation. Instead they focus on constantly pointing the finger and offering no solutions. The job of the Democrats is to "stop the corrupt administration." What a joke. But then again, that has become the slogan of the Democratic party. Indeed, what a joke.
