Dean fights back

Well, it was gratifying to learn that $100,000 was raised on line by Howard Dean supporters and given to the DNC. Dean got the message as described in this article by Will Lester entitled, "'People want us to fight': Howard Dean renews attacks on Republicans". Here's how it gets started:

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Saturday that positive responses from key supporters have reinforced his determination to keep talking tough even though some congressional Democrats have suggested he should tone down his rhetoric. "

People want us to fight," Dean told the national party's executive committee. "We are here to fight."

Addressing Iowa party activitists later Saturday in Des Moines, he added: "We need to be blunt and clear about the things we're going to fight for. I'm tired of lying down in front of the Republican machine. We need to stand up for what we believe in."

"We can use some of your passion," Rep. Leonard Boswell, D-Iowa, told Dean at the Iowa fundraiser.

We can all use some of his passion. Let's not take the Republican smears lying down!
