A letter from Howard Dean

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 6, 2008 12:42 PM

Thought you might be interested in the post-Super Tuesday e-mail Howard Dean is blasting to the nutroots. “Reality-based community?” My foot:

Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are done. John McCain will be the Republican nominee — he’s the only one with a reasonable path to the nomination.

So how do we beat him? We stand up — right now — start fighting, and show the American people that he’s not who they think he is.

We can’t wait for Hillary or Barack to win the nomination. Now that the Republicans have a candidate, the dollars are starting to pour in from special interests who will do anything to beat the Democratic nominee. They’re just waiting for us to decide so they can start smearing.

Here’s what U.S. News and World Report recently reported about how the RNC is getting ready…

[RNC Chairman Mike] Duncan and his aides want to be ready to go on the offensive against the Democratic nominee presumptive in an effort to define the opposition candidate on GOP terms. Opposition research is already well along, and the plan is for surrogates to talk to the media around the country while a TV ad campaign in key states and media markets as soon as the Democratic nominee is determined.

We must be ready to fight back, and fight back hard, today.

Now that we know our opponent, it’s time to build a national effort on the programs you and I have worked so hard to create over the last four years - from our cutting-edge technology to our voter protection programs, it’s time to shift gears.

I need you to contribute $25, $50, or $100 to help us fight John McCain right now:

http://www.democrats.org/FightMcCain

John McCain is a media darling, but don’t trust his carefully-crafted image - he’s worked for years to brand himself. From Iraq to health care, Social Security to special interest tax cuts to ethics, he’s promising nothing more than a third Bush term.

After championing campaign finance reform and ethics legislation to score political points, he now has a staggering amount of lobbyists involved in every aspect of his campaign. In fact, two of the top three sources for John McCain’s campaign cash are D.C. lobbying firms, and he looked the other way as Jack Abramoff bought and paid for the Republican Party and the Culture of Corruption.

On immigration reform, he’s run as far to the right as he can, aligning himself with the most extreme elements of the Republican Party.

On the war, McCain scoffed at Bush’s call to leave troops in Iraq for 50 years, saying “Make it a hundred!”

On a woman’s right to choose, McCain has vowed to appoint judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade.

On the economy, one of the issues that the American people care most about, McCain has said: “I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated.”

We can’t afford four more years with a President who drives the economy into the ground. We can’t afford four more years with a President who fights an endless war in Iraq. We can’t afford four more years with a President who gives tax cuts to companies who ship jobs overseas; with a President who can’t get every American the health care they deserve; with a President we just can’t trust.

I don’t just want to beat John McCain - I want it to be a landslide. If you’re as committed as I am, I need you to make a contribution today:

http://www.democrats.org/FightMcCain

Only the Democratic Party is legally allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money to back our nominee and tell the real story about John McCain. We proved that our strategy worked in 2006, and it will work again this fall.

Help us today:

http://www.democrats.org/FightMcCain

Let’s get going,

Howard Dean

    Yeah, as if opposition research hasn’t been done by the Clintons (with the help of the FBI files they stole) for years.

    As IF the Democrats never, ever do smear campaigns that have destroyed dozens of careers.

    Oh no, the Democrats are pure angels, and they never speak badly of Republicans.

    Please, spare me. These people are just as evil, if not more evil than the Republicans.

    And lets not forget all the nutroots like Soros, Moveon.org, and the rest of their ilk who trash Republicans on a minute-by-minute basis — i.e., surrogates.

    What hypocrites.

    That whole scenario about McCain is so full of garbled crap it is unfathomable that anyone would buy into it.

    As what? A true blue lib?

    And this? They actually put this in?

    Only the Democratic Party is legally allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money to back our nominee and tell the real story about John McCain.

    They are doing what? Bragging that with McCain’s help they have silenced We the People and effectively removed the first amendment from blocking their path to power?

    Okay, I sit here humbled. It is not the Republican Party that has failed us, it is all of the political partying above the people!

    Disgusting!

    The liberal MSM tactic this cycle is to actively work to promote the least conservative candidate (a RINO) to the Republican ticket.

    Once the RINO has knocked out any real conservative the true conservative base will be disheartened resulting in fewer Republican grassroots volunteeers and ultimately fewer Republican voters.

    The MSM will switch from promoting the RINO to bashing the RINO to swing undecided voters towards O’Billary.

    Once McCain locks it up the MSM will start hammering him.

    What this letter proves is that Democrats know that McCain has conservative positions that differ from Barack Hussein Obama or Hillary Clinton.

    Yet many conservatives (I know many are venting right now) would rather have Hussein Obama in power than McCain.

    They would rather Obama be elected and immediately pull out all the troops from Iraq and destroy the mission that 4000 Americans have died for.

    Yet it matters more for them to “prove a point” than to support the troops or the mission. Sorry, but that is MDS. Like it or not, McCain is the nominee now. I would have some conservative positions (particularly on the War on Terror) than NO conservative positions with Hussein Obama.

    I don’t just want to beat John McCain - I want it to be a landslide.

    Thanks to our own party’s suicidal tendencies, exhibited by nominating a candidate that is unacceptable to the GOP core, Howard is going to get his wish.

    I’m not the least bit suprised by this letter, btw. I knew that once McCain became inevitable, the Democrats and their MSM enablers would turn viciously against him after doing their best to prop him up. Newsweek has already run an article about McCain’s temper. And get ready to learn more about the Keating 5 than you ever knew.

    The irony is that despite all of McCain’s liberal positions, his disingenuous flips to the conservative positions for the primary season will be used to paint him by Dems and the MSM (but I repeat myself) as the most hardcore rightwinger ever. Their base will believe it, while our base knows he’s closer to one of them. The squishy moderates will probably go to the Dem/MSM side. And McCain will lose, big time.

    I guess there could be a little bit of karmic justice in that. McCain has stabbed conservatives in the back numerous times while courting liberals. Now that he’s going to be the GOP nominee, the liberals he courted are (very predictably) going to stab him in the back.

    It’s just too bad that such karmic justice is going to come at the price of a president Hillary or Obama, a high price indeed for both the GOP and the country at large.

    Given Howard Dean’s letter, can anybody doubt that McCain is far superior to Hillary Clinton? Let bufoons like Anne Coulter get her 15 minutes of fame by making outlandish statements about McCain, if Howard Dean disparages McCain, we should know that McCain is therefore acceptable and preferable to Hillary. McCain, with all his faults, will not make Janet Reno Attorney General. And there will never be an attorney general under McCain who says that terrorism should be treated as a law enforcement matter. Case closed.

    Kind of hard to say McVain is for the troops and the mission when he WILL NOT secure the border or the homeland. Give it a break, he makes us less safe by leaving the back door open…and with the troops overseas (since he won’t secure the mainland), we are less secure. Be different if ol’ Benedict McVain had not pushed his amnesty BS down our throats and called us all “racist” when we shoved it back down his throat. As such, he is no better than the libs.

    No, McCain WILL stay in Iraq and get the job done, and we know that Hussein WON’T stay in Iraq and will give the terrorists a victory. To not vote for McCain is to not support the troops and the veterans at this stage.

    This is a clear choice. We support the troops by voting for the candidate that won’t have them prematurely withdraw. . .or we stay home and let the socialist win and have their mission be in vain.

    Listen. We conservatives blew it by splitting the vote between Romney, Thompson, Huckabee, and Giuliani. And now McCain is the nominee. This is the reality now.

    Oh yeah like I believe anything Howard Dean say’s or trust anything he does.

    McCain did not win in any state win the majority of conservitive votes, so who exactly voted for him? because it was not conservitives

    None of the candidates are going to pull out of Iraq right away. Even Hillary and Barack have not commmitted to withdrawing, saying they have to look at the facts on the ground when they take office. Withdrawal is only demanded by a few on the fringe left. Pulling out and leaving the region in chaos will not be something the Dem’s want on their hands.

    Gabe, if Hillary or Obama withdraw our troops THAT Democrat President, not Conservative Republicans will deserve the blame.

    It won’t do our veterans any good to win in Iraq, and come home to find low wages because 20-30 million illegals have depressed wages in every community in the land.

    It won’t do our veteran’s kids any good if they come home to find public schools that teach mostly in Spanish, and spend more tax money on ESL than they do math and reading.

    It won’t do them any good to secure Baghdad and come home to neighborhoods in America that are MS-13 warzones. (McCain wanted GANG MEMBERS given Amnesty)

    It won’t help the troops if they win in Iraq, but come home and are forced to subsidize the health care of 10’s of millions of illegals, and find themselves unable to afford to take their kid to the doctor.

    Finally, And it certainly won’t have been much of a victory if we defeat the terrorists over there, only to have AlQaeda drive a nuke across our unenforced southern border (courtesy of the LaRaza candidate, John McCain) in a rented van.

    That’s just one issue. They will also come home to an economy wrecked by McCain’s naive ideas about taxes and Global Warming. They will also have a President who might just decide to limit their First Ammendment rights if he doesn’t like what they have to say.

    Let’s let the Democrat Party assume the responsibility for their bad ideas.

    The Bubba Stink is too strong. It is allowing someone as shallow as Obama to turn the Dhimmi frontrunner into a self-conscious looking stiff.

    I dunno. Just my gut. And the more rancor Dean stirs up to “energize the base” the more i am reminded how ineffectual his leadership has been along with the rest of the Dhimmis who were crowing about the midterm elections.

    If they are so damn good where is the inspiring message grounded in reality?

    Universal health care? Open borders?

    The legislative battles fought and won by bedrock salt-o-the-earth America these past two years should show these idiots something about their chances trying to run the Soros scam against the American people.

    This nation has bigger fish to fry than either Hillary or the Sophomoric Senator from Illinois have enough skillet for.

    Bear1909 out.

    I don’t understand who the Dems are the only ones legally allowed to spend unlimited funds on this election. As far as I know, McCain hasn’t taken federal matching funds (although he apparently considered it) which would have forced a limit on what he spent. Or is he talking about all the money they get through MoveOn.org and such?? Since there isn’t an equivalent on the right?

    Howard is runnin his rap based on the false dichotomy that snows most lib-Tards about their own history.

    That dichotomy is basically: Right =Evil corporations; Left = Angelic Non-profits.

    The Left believes that the American political Right is fascist and completely tainted in anything it tries or does.

    And the Left is pure as the driven snow.

    Dean speaks of McCain’s use of lobbyists as if that is the equivalent of fraud. The Left lobby is enormous and comes from all walks of life.

    Yet, the spin is based on the mythologies the Left believes in.

    And remains subservient to.

    Until then, Dean can pretty much say anything he wants to his base about where the political Right’s money comes from.

    I notice he isn’t asking where Al Gore’s money came from? And where is it going to?

    Scam artists all.

    Well, for all his faults, I think I’d settle for another four years of George W. Bush, especially since we have proven that we can successfully hold his feet to the fire when necessary. I rather suspect we will miss Bush when he is gone.

    What I am worried about is that McCain is going to be a lot worse than Bush.

    So how do we beat him? We stand up — right now — start fighting, and show the American people that he’s not who they think he is.

    You don’t know how much it pains me to have to say that Howard Dean has shown some insight here. But, it isn’t anything that hasn’t already been predicted amongst the comments on Michelle’s blog before.

    It has been said time and again, if McCain gets the nomination that the Democrats will turn on him and expose his true colors in a general election. *sigh*

    We can’t afford four more years with a President who drives the economy into the ground.

    Says Dean. What will Hillary’s MegaMonster Healthcare Program do to our tax rates? What will Barack’s Health Care Program do to our tax rates?
    What will their cuts in military spending do to our economy—take a look at Oakland, CA if you want to see what has happened because of the Lee-Dellums cuts in military spending: the Oakland School District is in state receivership because the tax base has shriveled up. Government money in social programs just doesnt quite shore uop the tax base that military readiness provides as an economic cornerstone.

    No, Dean’s Dhimmicrats are going to slam a President who has presided over unprecedented economic growth and job expansion- despite 9/11.

    The only people who drive economies into the ground will be the Dhimmicrats with their tax increases and pork barrel spends.

    Dean is an utter fool if he thinks “Fundraising” letters are going to help the Dhimmis win in November. THey are out of touch with most American’s lives: and now they will prove it by nominating either of these two social fascists who aspire to make government “solutions” (oxymoron) the religious dogma of the electorate.

    I was living in Vermont while Dean was governor. The man couldnt keep the potholes filled with asphalt let alone be a mastermind political strategist.

    He is as much a media creation as Barry Ossein and Bubbaz Wife.

    Let’s end this in November.

    I might be just a little late to this party but a few things hit me.

    it’s time to build a national effort on the programs you and I have worked so hard to create over the last four years - from our cutting-edge technology to our voter protection programs, it’s time to shift gears.

    Voter protection programs? Since when did the Facist GOP start rounding up Dem voters? Is the GOP that vicious? /sarc off

    And I wonder, how does the GOP start a program to get a conservative’s reputation re-instated after a smear attack from the Dems?

    And then there was this little gem:

    he’s promising nothing more than a third Bush term.

    As opposed to a third Clinton administration? Get real Howie!

    And finally, bear1909 beat me to it but this one hit me the same way.

    We can’t afford four more years with a President who drives the economy into the ground.

    As if Universal Healthcare and the end of the Tax cuts won’t have the same effect.

    Hey LGM, You know when Dean said quit the war in Iraq did that mean that the other side is going to quit too? I keep asking you did the Germans quit after the Brits left Dunkirk? Appeasement doesn’t do any good does it? Face it the Demos have no plan to stop the Islamofascists and Kerry had no plan either in 04. Its kinda hard to give pep talks when you tell your team is that all you have is abortion and surrender.
