Quote of the week: 4/14/05 Howard Dean on Fear
A quote from USA TODAY Article:
Really? Way to stay in touch with America there Howie. TV Times Slots certain tops my list of "fears"!!! Of course numbers 2 - 6 would be in no particular order:"People in economic distress and harmed by the economic policies of the Republicans continue to vote Republican," he said. "It's because we're not addressing the central underlying fears of people" when it comes to the pressures they feel in raising families.
"Most of the people I know with children are worried about what's on television," he said, including the "appropriateness of time slots" for certain shows. "We need to be concerned" about that.
- Terrorism
- Inflation
- Education
- Social Security
- Border Control
- Gangs
- etc. etc. etc.
Thanks to Mike V for point out this nonsense to me on his liberal blog. Credit where credit is due...

According to this exit poll,
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html
, people who voted in the last election felt these were the most important issues:
Moral Values (22%)
Economy/Jobs (20%)
Terrorism (19%)
Iraq (15%)
Health Care(8%)
Taxes (5%)
Education (4%)
Personally I think Americans are a bit misguided based on these poll results. The chances of dying in a terrorist attack are very, very, very slim. However the chances of getting ill are very, very, great and more of a priority should be placed on ensuring health care for Americans.
I forgot my point for a second. I just wanted to point out that Dean isn't so off base with his statements about what's important to Americans based on the high percentage who said 'moral issues'. Granted, that's a very broad phrase that could include any of many issues.
Ummm... NO!
Nice try sticking up for your man... but, I am not buying that.
As for your other point. I agree, healthcare is important. However, it is NOT above terrorism. I think I will answer this in it's own blog, this is important.
