Howard "Aaaarrggggh!" Dean, chairman of the dismal and disgusting Downtrodden National Committee, went on the Christian Broadcast Network in a vain attempt to woo Christians who will not vote for candidates of a party who stand for raping the American people through high taxation, who stand for illegal aliens to have amnesty, who stand for abortions to be paid for by the taxpayers of this country, and who use their every breath to fight any attempt to fight terrorism here in the US and around the world.
However, Howie has a problem - he told a huge fib. He said that the party's platform says that "marriage is between a man and a woman" - in short, that the party somehow is against gay marriage.
Unfortunately for Howie, either he is a liar or is stupid, because the party's platform actually stands FOR gay marriage.
And Howie got caught lying. And Howie looks again to be the imbecilic fool that he is.
Interview: Howard Dean: Democrats Have Much in Common with Evangelicals
He added, “The Democratic Party platform from 2004 says that marriage is between a man and a woman. That's what it says. I think where we may take exception with some religious leaders is that we believe in inclusion, that everybody deserves to live with dignity and respect, and that equal rights under the law are important.”
Notice what he said - that the party platform says this - not that he is unsure about what it says on the issue.
As one "gay" site states, Howie is a "bit foggy" on this issue.
No, folks - Howie knows what the party platform says. And when he says that it states the opposite, he is a liar.
Howard Dean Foggy on Gay Marriage
WASHINGTON, DC -- In a Christian Broadcasting Network interview aired on Wednesday, May 10, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said the following in response to a question about gay marriage:
"[On] gay marriage: the platform said marriage is between a man and a woman. That's what it says. I think where we may take exception with some religious leaders is we believe in inclusion. That everybody deserves to live with dignity and respect and equal rights under the law are important. I'm not saying we'll agree with everything between the more conservative evangelicals and Democrats but I think there's more common ground and we're willing to work with the evangelical community." [CBN, 5/10/06]
Dean today issued the following statement:
"I misstated the Democratic Party's platform, which does not say that marriage should be limited to a man and a woman, but says the Party is committed to full inclusion of gay and lesbian families in the life of our nation and leaves the issue to the states to decide. The Democratic Party remains committed to equal protection under the law for all Americans. How we achieve that goal continues to be the subject of a contentious debate, but our Party continues to oppose constitutional amendments that seek to short circuit the debate on how to achieve equality for all Americans."
In short, Howie went from telling one audience one thing, to telling another audience another.
That's called pandering, on top of his lying.
Howie is not having a good week.
