Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean told a Tallahassee audience today that southerners have to quit basing their votes on “race, guns, God and gays.”
[Full Story]
I guess he is doing his Democratic penance for saying last week that he wants “to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.” And as for God, leave him out of your voting practices, that way we can get you to vote Democrat. What does God have to do with morality anyway?
Real intelligent way to appeal to southerners by implying they are racist. Southern states have elected more non-whites to high government positions including governor by far than any northern state especially like Vermont.
And please vote Democrat where we now base our votes on “Abortion on demand, Abortion on demand, Abortion on demand, and least we forget Abortion on demand.”

It was just a matter of time before Dean started to implode. You could see it coming in some of his off-the-cuff remarks as early as this past summer. The foot was destined for the mouth at some point. I’m just surprised it took this long.
Two huge gaffs in three days is unprecedented, even for Dean.
Translation of Dean’s statement:
Southerners have to stop caring about: racial equity and the divison caused by race baiting and affirmative action, their second amendment right to carry firearms for protection and legitimate sporting, the Creator of all Heaven and Earth and their right to worship him without discrimination even if they are Christians, and the preservation of Marriage and the Family.
Well who cares about that dumb stuff anyway?
