Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Friday that his party would wield the Terri Schiavo case against Republicans in the 2006 and 2008 elections, but for now needed to stay focused battling President Bush on Social Security.

I knew it wouldn't be long before Howard started his abuse on Terri, God rest her soul!
Howard Dean, what a disgrace!  |

Anyone else notice the missing outrage over this, as was on the errant memo?
I too have intentions of bringing this matter up in the next Senatorial elections. I intend to post and spread around Patty Murrays email to me where she is in disagreement with what was tried to help Terri and to compare that to her earlier introduction of legislation to help abused women.

Lew, I saw your email posted on a freeper thread about this Dean article 
~snip from the LA Times article
| Quote: | Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Friday that his party would wield the Terri Schiavo case against Republicans in the 2006 and 2008 elections, but for now need to stay focused battling President Bush on Social Security.
"We're going to use Terri Schiavo later on," Dean said of the brain-damaged Floridian who died last month amid a swarm of political controversy after her feeding tube was removed.
Dean, who has previously called congressional intervention in the Schiavo case "political grandstanding," singled out House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, for his leading role in the matter.
"This is going to be an issue in 2006, and it's going to be an issue in 2008," Dean told about 200 people at a gay rights group's breakfast in West Hollywood, "because we're going to have an ad with a picture of Tom DeLay saying, 'Do you want this guy to decide whether you die or not? Or is that going to be up to your loved ones?'"
Dean, a physician before his political career burgeoned, added: "The issue is: Are we going to live in a theocracy where the highest powers tell us what to do? Or are we going to be allowed to consult our own high powers when we make very difficult decisions?" |
the new face of the Dem Party...so pathetic. Further in the article he says he has "purposely avoided stressing the Schiavo case in recent weeks, because Democrats need "message discipline." LOL and Howie is the one to give it to them?

Making Sense
Killing Terri
by Michael Reagan
March 24, 2005
Thursday
"Democratic national chairman Howard Dean is on the stump trying to convince red state voters that his party has values. This leads me to ask if one of those values the Democrats supposedly champion is the death by starvation of Terri Schiavo. Is this the way they seek to prove they are the party that cares about people?"

I'm willing to bet that if they do use it - it will be a detriment to them

Sure Howie. Three things that will attract mainstream Americans. Abortion on demand, assisted suicide, and euthanesia. Sounds like a culture of death platform to me.

This comment on the matter by John Hinderaker of PowerLine blog:
| Quote: | Dean's characterization of the issues involved in the Schiavo case is of course twisted beyond all recognition. But his comments bring two thoughts to mind. First, I very seriously doubt that the Schiavo case will be an issue either in 2006 or in 2008. Second, why is it it that when a minor Republican staffer wrote that the Schiavo case was a "great political issue," it was a scandal that was reported in every newspaper in America, whereas, when the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee says, "We're going to use Terri Schiavo" in the 2006 and 2008 elections, the response is a yawn? I'm sure there must be a reason why Dean's comment is different, but offhand I can't think what it is.
Dean has a unique ability to put his foot in his mouth, from which the Republicans will continue to reap benefits as long as Dean holds his present position. |
More evidence (as if we needed any) of total the corruption of the MSM.

"Mr. Dean, I don't know about you, but the decision whether or not to kill Terri Schiavo is not "difficult." Apparently you don't know a murder when you see one. Morally speaking, she was murdered, and being with her at her bedside during her last hours, I saw the terror on her face and the agony of her death. You are right when you say this will be a campaign issue in 2006 and 2008. But you and your fellow Democrats will be sorry that you made it one." |
