Howard Dean was a good choice for chairman of the DNC - He’s a Radical Moderate, just like yours truly (although he’s more liberal on some issues - but that’s acceptable to me).

Hees gonna come out swinging againt the theocrats, and yes - He isn’t afraid to use the “T-word”. See below.

I like it that the T-word is becoming mainstream. It truly highlights the key underlying difference between ordinary everyday Americans and the controlling force in the Republican Party.

The theocrats have become dominant in government, but they are not dominant in the hearts and minds of the people, and the common people who only picked up snippets of the right wing stuff (because of their busy lives) are now going to start being forced to confront the truth about the radical Republicans running our government. Howard Dean and the Democrats are going to harp on it incessantly, at least I hope so.

Or is that going to be up to your loved ones?'’ Dean said in West Hollywood, Calif.

… ‘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?'’”
