Best advice given to Dean this year
WASHINGTON – North Dakota Rep. Earl Pomeroy is accusing Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean of overstepping his bounds, saying the former presidential candidate should not give up on the war in Iraq.
On Monday, Dean likened the war in Iraq to Vietnam and said, “The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong.”
“My words to Howard Dean are simple – shut up,” Pomeroy told WDAY Radio in North Dakota on Thursday.
Pomeroy later told the Associated Press that he is tired “of the overblown rhetoric on both sides.”
“We have young men and women with their lives on the line,” he added. “The debate has fallen far short of what they deserve.”
Pomeroy said Dean wasn’t representing Democrats like him when he discussed the war.
“He is not hired to make major policy announcements on behalf of all the Democrats,” Pomeroy said. “As our party chairman I believe he needs to focus on the nuts and bolts of winning elections.”
Somebody buy this man a drink 
I still can’t believe that the Dems would put a guy like Dean in charge of their party – a guy who they fawned over prior to the Democratic primaries but dumped like a hot potato once they realized he was ‘unelectable’. He overdoes it on the rhetoric all the time and seems to divide, rather than unite Democrats. Bad for the Dems, but good for the Reps. I don’t think the Dems will ever find a unifying message with Dean at the helm. Not that that worries me

With apologies to Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson):
Telegram to the Democratic party:
‘Your choice of chairman: excellent idea. Stop. Hope H. Dean continue making statements. Stop.’
‘P.S. Don’t ever let him. Stop.’
Howard Dean is the gift that keeps on giving… to our side. Yeeargh!
I raise my glass to Rep. Earl Pomeroy.
Let Dean talk. An honest Democrat is hard to find and he clearly expresses the true nature of the Democrats on a national level. You folks who think you can still be a Democrat and not want a weak America with a dysfunctional loser/bully complex. Better wakeup. Democrats complain. criticize and respond with violent vulgarity to anyone that disagrees with them. It’s their nature since the 60’s radicals and before that they were segregationists. Al Gore’s daddy, for example, voted against civil rights – but the left doesn’t like to talk about that…
The Democrats are notorious for using fringies — usually nominally unaffiliated, “deniable” fringies, rather than DNC chairmen — as a motive force for pulling the “center of debate” to the left. It might backfire on them this time, not merely because of Dean’s position, but because the Republicans appear, at long last, to have found their spines. (Should have looked under the couch cushions sooner, boys.)
Dean got this position due to his ability to raise money from new or different sources. Problem is that his BS is causing many households in America to rethink their Dem affilations. I for one, born and raised in a UAW household, will not vote for a Dem again. Unless Repubs start acting like idiots, or Dems find their faith. As far as I am concerned current Dem leadership will cause a good man to go wrong. Look at Lieberman as a Veep canidate. There was talk of throwing him out of the Jewish religion while he was. Many Jewish sources were calling for this. I am glad that he was not afterward, but I think this helped form his present opinions. – Lorica
