Dean puts foot in mouth again...

I was watching yesterday when Howard Dean made his now-famous statement alleging that most Republicans have never made an honest living. Here is how USA Today summarizes the latest episode in Howard Dean's recent history in national politics:

• Dean's comment came as he recalled conditions at crowded Ohio polling stations last fall. He wondered who could expect voters to work all day and then stand in line for eight hours to vote. "Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives," he said, drawing some surprised "oohs" from his audience.
  
  ...
  
  Tracey Schmitt, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, called the "honest living" comment "mudslinging" and scored Dean for attacking the work ethic of "the record number of hardworking Americans who voted for President Bush." Democratic Party spokeswoman Karen Finney said Dean was referring to "Republican politicians and Republican leadership, not hardworking American people."

Dean seemed to suggest that the average Republican voter, and thus the majority of the aggregate number of Republican voters, was someone who has never made an honest living and who has difficulty finding the necessary time for casting a ballot.

Now, any person with a neutral viewpoint can recognize the fact that welfare recipients are much more likely to vote for Democrats. After all, which party keeps promising more government programs, higher minimum wages, and taxpayer funded retirement savings plans?

Overall, I think Howard Dean is ineffective among moderate Democrats, and ultimately I think he will be a major factor in the collapse of the Democrat party.

The most important point to be made in regards to this issue is as follows. Howard Dean and the Democrat party continue to insult the "average" American and insist that Republicans are all rich fatcats who take advantage of the disadvantaged lower and middle class. However, those of us who actually live in the real world that Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, and Hillary Clinton tell us about every day, we recognize that the majority of Republican voters are very similar to the majority of Democrat voters.

Consider that again. The majority of Republican voters are very similar to the majority of Democrat voters.

We have pets, children, mortgages, cars, bills, jobs, bosses, errands to run, hobbies and families.

Unfortunately, Howard Dean and the Democrat elites want 50.1% of the American voters to believe that Republican voters coast through life on the backs of the rest.

From a purely numerical standpoint, does it really make sense that the majority of Americans relax around their pools, counting bank statements while relying on the minority to do all the actual work everyday, especially when many in the minority are welfare recipients, students or retirees?

If all the men and women actually doing the work on a daily basis in America vote for Democrats, I have to wonder how so few people are able to accomplish so much.
