Howard Dean is Mean to Republicans
Has everyone heard that Howard Dean doesn't like Republicans? It's absolutely scandalous. He's the head of the Democratic National Committee. It's his job to promote Democratic Candidates, funnel money to Democratic campaigns, and get Republicans fired from their offices. It sounds like we fucked up and picked the wrong guy. Why in the world would the Democrats want a chairman who fervently embraces Democratic principles over Republican ones?
Howard Dean has come under fire from Republicans when he said "lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives," and a few days later referred to the GOP as "pretty much a white, Christian party." Now why exactly Republicans would be inspired to bitch about the leader of the opposition party, I can only guess. I'd just like to assure you all that it's cool. We don't need your help on this one. We appreciate your concern, but everything is under control. I'm guessing that most Republicans would have a low opinion of Dean even if he were to personally bake them a plate of delicious chocolate chip cookies.
Now the media is trying to play the "Too hot for TV" angle. Trying to convince us that Howard is just too gosh darn wild to be a leader. He's a hothead, a loose cannon like Mel Gibson in lethal Weapon I, II, III, and the last 20 minutes of IV. Howard, I've got the mayor and city council riding my ass on this case, I wanna see your badge and gun on this desk.
Newsflash: Every one of us who supported Dean knew he was a lunatic. A lunatic who knows the names of all fifty states. When Howard screamed "we're going to South Carolina! And Oklahoma! And Arizona! And North Dakota! And New Mexico!" at roughly 400 decibels, we got that he's forceful. We understood that he wasn't just some boring cracker in a suit, like Al Gore or Terry McAuliffe.
Now as for the "honest living" comment I'm no great judge of that. Personally I think that the guy that cleans up cum stains at an X-rated movie booth is making a more honest living than the a marketing wizards who created Evanescence. Honesty is a relative concept, and Howard says he was referring to Republican leaders not ordinary citizens, so let's focus on Howards other outrageous claim. Are Republicans really "pretty much a white, Christian party?"
Yup.

Yup.
[A] new book about America's political divisions notes that the 99 percent of all Republican legislators across the country and in Congress are white. The national Republican Party, whose base is in the South, the Plains and the Mountain states, looks to white men as its power base and source of leadership. Even when Republican states have significant minority populations, the elected Republican representatives rarely are drawn from those communities.It should be noted that the one Native American republican referenced, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, is no longer a Senator. Furthermore, Cubans aren't real minorities. Cubans hate other latinos even more than white people do(Note to oversensitive assholes about to email me: don't). But I'll include them and the few other minority republicans elected in 2004 just to be fair. So according to the current figures from the 109th Congress.
[...]Of 3,643 Republicans serving in the state legislatures, only 44 are minorities, or 1.2 percent. In the Congress, with 274 of the 535 elected senators and representatives Republican, only five are minorities - three Cuban Americans from Florida, a Mexican American from Texas and a Native American senator originally elected as a Democrat.
president Bush's home state leads the way. Texas, with a minority population of 47 percent, has 106 Republicans in the state legislature, but there are 0 blacks and 0 Hispanics among them,'
Democrats:Whether or not 97.22% white qualifies as "pretty much" is up to you.
(68 minorities / (211 representatives + 44 senators)) = %26.66 minority
Republicans:
(8 minorities / ( 222 representatives + 55 senators)) = % 2.88 minority
