I just love this guy. His job is to raise money (at which he is failing miserably) and to reach out and build the party. Since Mr. Dean insists on appealing to the wackiest of the wacky left, does he really think this kind of rhetoric is going to attract Republicans and Independents to the Democratic party?Speaking to the Campaign for America's Future, Mr. Dean called for easier rules for voting, saying it is difficult for working parents to make it to the polls on time and wait to vote.
"Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that, because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives," Mr. Dean said. "But for ordinary working people, who have to work eight hours a day, they have kids, they got to get home to those kids, the idea of making them stand for eight hours to cast their ballot for democracy is wrong."
Let's contrast Mr. Dean's mental illness with a report on a recent speech by RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman (h/t Best of the Web Today):
The quickest route to the American dream is through the GOP, the chairman of the Republican National Committee told Hispanic community and business leaders Thursday.
"We want to make sure the American dream touches every willing heart," said Ken Mehlman. "This party is the American party."
Mehlman said the GOP's encouragement of home and business ownership, personal accountability and hard work vs. social service handouts are the American values that appeal to many Hispanics.
His comments were delivered during a visit to the Lincoln Juarez Opportunity Center, a non-profit organization in the city's immigrant business district, as part of a "Conversations with the Community" series.
Big, big difference.
