Howard Dean on Tea Party: ‘Last Gasp of the 55-Year-Old Generation’
Speaking to reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast this morning, former Vermont governor and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate Dr. Howard Dean shared his thoughts on the Tea Party.
“I think it’s the last gasp of the 55-year-old generation,” said Dean, who was also chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2005-2009. “Older folks have seen their life change dramatically. The country’s not the same.”
Lets look at some of the photos which I snapped at the Ventura County, California 2009 Tax Day Tea Party rally.
Ventura County Tax Day Tea Party April 15, 2009
But, Howard Dean is wrong.
Dean’s characterization of the Tea Party, however, doesn’t square with the facts. In July, USA Today reported that 23 percent of the Tea Party are non-white Anglos, while non-white Anglos make up roughly 25 percent of the total American population. Additionally, only 47 percent of the Tea Party is 55 years old and older, while 23 percent are under 35 years old. It may be a tough pill for Dr. Dean to swallow, but it seems the Tea Party is actually a fair representation, demographically speaking, of the American voting public.
I suppose at the daytime Tea Party rallys I have seen, there are a goodly number of “white hairs.”
Why?
The younger members are WORKING.
Howard Dean is simply pandering to the regional Democratic Party base = African Americans and Latinos. The Tea Pary folks who oppose the Big Government policies of President Barack Obama = RACISTS
Now, who is playing racial politics?

The LEFT just cannot stand the Tea Parties and Glenn Beck getting all of the public demonstration astroturf love, now can they? So, off to Saul Alinsky land they go to copy the Tea Parties.
One Nation Working Together is a social movement of individuals and organizations committed to putting America back to work and pulling America back together. Coming from a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, beliefs and orientations, we are determined to build a more united country with good jobs, equal justice, and quality public education for all.
Here is Howard Dean, the Far Left Yeller, I mean former Democrat Presidential candidate and former Chairman of the Democrat National Committee:
And, here is a list of the sponsoring organizations, which is the usual list of Far Left Labor Unions and Left Wing organizations. Looks like these Aalinsky folks are playing catch up to the RIGHT and the Tea Party movement.
The Tea Party folks probably won’t be seen much in Washington D.C. this weekend. They are working in the grass roots and in the campaigns to affect REAL change on November 2nd.

President Obama and his Democrat Party Cabal in the Congress will promise anything to get the votes to pass Obamacare. It is all or nothing – even if it ruins the prospects of fellow Democrats in the upcoming November midterm congressional elections.
Passing the healthcare proposals before Congress will “hang out to dry” every Democratic incumbent running for reelection this fall, Howard Dean said Thursday.
Dean, a physician by training who’s a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said that Democrats in Congress — and President Barack Obama — would do themselves more harm than good by passing the current healthcare bill.
“The plan, as it comes from the Senate, hangs out every Democrat who’s running for office to dry — including the president, in 2012, because it makes him defend a plan that isn’t in effect essentially yet,” Dean said during an appearance on the liberal Bill Press Radio Show.
The smell of corruption will only increase as the Easter deadline approaches. In today’s 24 hour news cycle and instant communication, all Americans will be sadly dismayed at the buying of votes.

Howard Dean allies say that becoming Barack Obama’s Surgeon General would not be a good fit for him.
The news that Sanjay Gupta has decided not to go for the gig of surgeon general has already fired up supporters of Howard Dean, who are now touting him for the post.
But a close Dean ally familiar with his thinking tells me that it’s not really a gig that would work for him. “It’s not a good fit for him,†this ally tells me.
A few months back there was a round of chatter about Dean getting tapped as surgeon general, but at the time Dean aides shot down the speculation. “Even then we didn’t think it was right for him,†the Dean ally says.
Oh REALLY!
The real reason is that Howard Dean was passed over by Obama for the Health and Human Services job TWICE and now is settling for a paid LOBBYIST or counselor gig.
McKenna Long & Aldridge has landed Howard B. Dean III, the former Vermont governor, Democratic presidential candidate and, most recently, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, for its national government affairs practice.
Dean will be based in the firm’s Washington, D.C., office as an independent consultant, and will serve as a strategic adviser to its health care and energy clients, said Eric J. Tanenblatt, who heads McKenna’s national government affairs practice. “He won’t be full time, but he will be spending quite a bit of time in the Washington office,” said Tanenblatt, who has held various leadership positions in the Republican Party, including chief of staff to Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue.
Tanenblatt said Dean will not lobby on behalf of the firm’s clients. Instead he will provide more “big picture” counseling. “Someone who has served as governor understands how government agencies work and their interaction with the federal government,” he said.
Looks like Dean has struck LOBBYIST gold.
Why be Surgeon General – even IF you are asked?

Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democrat National Committee – “If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the [laughs] Republican party.”
Carly Fiorina, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee’s Victory 2008 campaign and prominent supporter of John McCain responded to Howard Dean’s comments:
“It is disappointing to see Howard Dean trying to use gender and race to divide voters,” Fiorina said Friday evening in a statement released by the McCain campaign. “His comments are insulting, inappropriate and have no place in this election.â€
But, Howard Dean and the Democrats have made race an important issue with their recruitment of African American voters to support Barack Obama.
Ceratainly with a ninety per cent plus lock of African American voters historically voting for the Democrats, Howard Dean simply misspoke and should have said his party was the “BLACK” party.
Sad to say Presidential politicis has broken down to race, religion,gender and national origin, but it has.
