Yknow, there isn't a person ANYWHERE who was sadder than me when Howard Dean was stupid enough to let himself be laughed out of the Presidential Race. See, that would never happen to me so now I consider myself smarter than Howard Dean. Or, maybe not. Maybe just less immune to ridicule.
UPDATE: MORE IMMUNE !!! LOL !!! I am almost completely immune to ridicule. I DO love to laugh at myself and others in a nice way. BUT, I DO have a mirror at home. Anyway, it was stupid of Howard to allow that. I would have made a joke about it, laughed or shouted like that at every opportunity and MOVED ON.
I just wouldn't have allowed it. In order to smear ME you have to go behind my back, lie to my family, own half the federal govt. be a fire inspector or a degenerate closely related (LMAO at you cox and the gas station inspection yall can't DO THAT I would have you every which way THEN. GOD, is anyone IN CHARGE??? PLEASE LET ME SPEAK TO IT. I know you can't ... it's like obama .. you'd RUN FROM THE CONVERSATION.) and other stuff of a different subject matter.
As I've mentioned in a few places when I signed up for one thing or another Howard Dean sent me a letter and also a polling type questionnaire. On that polling questionnaire Mr. Dean had a number of things listed, querying in what order of importance a staunch (DONATING) party member (not one) such as myself would rate them??
I was HORRIFIED TO SEE that Mr. Dean had included the actual fucking words: SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM.
These words MARK Mr. Dean as a problem. Maybe even a closet REPUBLICAN. I don't want to go THAT far but these words mark Mr. Dean as a man with an agenda.
THEN, we have Mr. Dean setting up Florida and Michigan as states without delegates. Hmmmm. Funny how these are both CLINTON states. Is Mr. Dean working against Democrats or just Mrs. Clinton?? OR, is he working against all of us??
I've meant and meant to set aside enough time to do a blog series on David Rosenbaum .. a deceased (BASHED OVER THE HEAD AND LEFT TO DIE by FIREMEN, POLICE and PARAMEDICS of the CORRUPT DC LOT) and recently retired New York Times correspondent.
Mr. Rosenbaum (unfortunately for his health) was smarter than Howard Dean and myself combined.
If you care about this country and her citizens AT ALL ... since I don't have time to thoroughly cover Mr. Rosenbaum's sad and unnecessary and CRIMINAL death ... you should read what the brilliant Mr. Rosenbaum wrote about Social Security.
He REFUSED to call it reform.
Mr. Dean also wrote eloquently and articulately (i can say that cause he's white) on other subjects disparaging (very astutely and not always so discreetly but SMOOTH AS SILK)
to the Bush crime syndicate.
Intelligent HUMANS: There is A LOT of reading at the above two links but I have done it and if you want to even be PART OF NOT BEING A PROBLEM you need to do it, too. You can't enter a discussion on social security until you have read David Rosenbaum. I've read EVERY WORD. I've also read every word on his murder. When you do ... you'll know what I know. FEEL THE POWER. You really need to know ... knowledge is power has never been more apt than the need you have as a thinking human being to access and read this information.
You might also want to check out Curtis Bowman. He highlights the enumeration of Bush's purposeful mistakes concerning Social Security.
PLEASE REMEMBER where the words 'social security reform' arose. BUSH. When Howard Dean is fucking running around repeating BUSH's words that's a real fucking problem for ME and it should be FOR YOU, too.
I had the best pecan salmon with amazing mango sweet and sour sauce so my brain power is like ... on overdrive today. I only ate half of it so I would be TWICE AS SMART today had I eaten more... anyway, I'm in the best mood. I love thinking people will actually GROW SMARTER when I inform them. BUT, you won't DO THAT unless you read David Rosenbaum on Social Security.
ANYONE who believes that Social Security is running out of money and is in need of reform OR privatization has given in to fear-mongering, isn't thinking clearly and has caved to Republican buzz words. Words repeated so often that they became part of the lexicon.
BUT Howard DEAN of ALL PEOPLE should KNOW BETTER than that.
Yet, he uses the phraseology 'social security reform' and includes it on a list of things which should be important to Democrats.
Which makes Mr. Dean PART OF THE PROBLEM. He's trying to put this phraseology into the Democrat lexicon.
And, it seems that ALL of Mr. Dean's actions have been favorable to Obama and negative for Clinton.
This blogger exposes him VERY WELL but there are many out there.

It's also interesting how his tune has changed over time. First the superdelegates are on their own. NOW, Clinton has a BIG WIN and has raised OVER TEN MILLION DOLLARS in just A DAY and it's time for someone to drop out. He doesn't mean Barry. Dean wants Hillary out.
So, now he's taking sides.
AND how he has screwed over and PUNISHED Florida and Michigan.
WHAT THE FUCK???
Isn't PUNISHMENT typically a Republican GIG???
READ David Rosenbaum and realize that Howard Dean has become a danger to our Democracy and that you are being LIED TO by Mr. Dean and by anyone who mentions the phrase
'social security reform'.

At Heart of Social Security Debate, a MisunderstandingBy DAVID E. ROSENBAUM Published: March 8, 2005
ASHINGTON, March 7 - The Social Security trust fund "had plenty of money in it," Anne Cash, a 70-year-old retired federal worker, declared furiously at a town meeting in North Philadelphia last month.
"It should not be tampered with," Ms. Cash told her congresswoman, Allyson Y. Schwartz, a freshman Democrat. "It was not intended for the government to borrow."

President Bush, Ms. Cash continued, "owes that money back."
Senators and representatives across the country have heard similar assertions, based on a misunderstanding of how the system works, from constituents who oppose the president's plan to change the basic structure of Social Security.
"The Social Security trust fund has produced more bad public discussion than any other budget entity," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, director of the Congressional Budget Office.
The confusion is frustrating to Republicans who side with Mr. Bush.
"If the president can convince people how the trust fund works, we're over a hurdle," said Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the chairman of the Finance Committee. "The trust fund is a mirage, but I still have Iowans say to me, 'Where's the money?' "
But unlike a mirage, the trust fund does exist. The details are on Page 1,112 of the appendix in the president's budget for the 2006 fiscal year. What Mr. Grassley meant was that the significance of the trust fund is limited.
Its importance, said John C. Rother, the policy director of AARP, the advocacy group for older Americans, is largely symbolic. "It is a symbol of the insurance nature of the program and the social contract that lies behind it," Mr. Rother said.
"But it doesn't really bind the Congress," he said, and "no individual's benefits are insured by it."
The White House has contributed to the misunderstanding by saying in one breath that soon no money will be available to pay Social Security benefits and in the next that issuing bonds to pay for private investment accounts would not create new government debt because it would merely replace one obligation (to use the trust fund to pay Social Security benefits) with another obligation (to new bondholders).
The truth, Mr. Holtz-Eakin said, is somewhere in between. The trust fund is more than an empty promise, he said, and less than a solemn obligation backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
A main reason for the confusion is that from the creation of Social Security, politicians have used the trust fund to mask several realities.
Social Security is not an insurance policy in which workers pay premiums to cover their own benefits. Instead, each generation of workers pays taxes to finance the retirement checks of the previous generation, and there is nothing to prevent Congress from changing the size of benefits, as it has many times over the years.
All tax receipts go into the same pot in the Treasury and are spent at the discretion of Congress; for years, excess Social Security taxes have been used to pay for other programs.
The government has made promises to retirees it cannot keep without raising taxes, imposing deep cuts in other programs or borrowing loads of money; but raising taxes, cutting spending or borrowing to meet Social Security promises is no different from doing so to pay for troops or prescription drugs under Medicare or any other government expense.
Here is how the trust fund works:
When the Treasury receives the Social Security taxes paid by workers and their employers, most of the money is placed in the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund. (Some also goes into the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund.)
Retirement benefits are paid monthly from the trust fund. Any tax money left over is lent to the federal government. The government issues interest-bearing Treasury bonds to the trust fund and immediately spends the money for other purposes.
When tax receipts are not sufficient to pay benefits, the Treasury is supposed to redeem bonds in the trust fund and use the proceeds to meet the monthly payments.
The trust fund system was created not for budgetary reasons but to solve a political problem faced by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
When the original Social Security law was enacted in 1935, it specified that tax withholding would begin in 1937 but that the first benefits would not be paid until 1942 so the system could build up a reserve.
Opponents of the law immediately attacked this as government fraud, a device for a greedy Democratic Congress to get its hands on workers' paychecks.
Alfred M. Landon, Roosevelt's Republican opponent in the 1936 presidential election, called the new program "a cruel hoax," no different from a parent who took money from his children to invest for retirement but instead spent the money and left the children with i.o.u.'s.
To make sure the reserve was not squandered, Arthur J. Altmeyer, chairman of the Social Security Board, devised a system, enacted in 1939, in which the reserves were invested in government bonds, theoretically insulating them from the whims of Congress. The tax money, Roosevelt declared, would be "held in a government trust fund solely for the social security of workers."
For years, this system was given little thought. Almost all the taxes collected were paid out in benefits, and not much was left over in the trust fund. But in 1983, with the system about to become insolvent, a commission led by Alan Greenspan proposed a series of benefits cuts and tax increases embraced by President Ronald Reagan and Congress.
These steps generated considerably more money than was needed to pay benefits, and the trust funds began to swell, first by tens and then hundreds of billions of dollars a year. This allowed Mr. Reagan and the first President Bush to present annual budgets showing much lower deficits.
The surpluses in President Bill Clinton's tenure were due in large part to the Social Security excess. Once again, under President George W. Bush, budgets are in the red. The deficit this year is projected to be $427 billion.
Under the current structure, payroll taxes will begin falling short of what will be needed to pay benefits in 2018, according to the latest estimates by the Social Security Administration.
By 2042, in this analysis, the trust fund will be exhausted, and the only money left to pay Social Security benefits will be what is paid each year in Social Security taxes, enough to pay only about 75 percent of scheduled benefits. If Mr. Bush's proposal to allow workers to divert part of their payroll taxes into private accounts is enacted, the trust fund will be depleted even faster.
Once benefits exceed annual tax revenues, the government will have to increase taxes, cut spending elsewhere or issue more bonds if it decides to pay full Social Security benefits.
But trust fund or no trust fund, bonds or no bonds, Social Security is only one program with a claim on the federal budget.
There will be highways to build and, perhaps, wars to fight. There will be expenses for education and health care and many other government activities. And there will be citizens - voters - who do not want their taxes to be raised.
Maybe because of the trust fund, the politicians will decide that Social Security has the strongest claim.
But if so, that will be a political decision, not a legal one.
