Election by election, state by state, pricinct by pricinct, door by door, vote by vote we're going to left our party up and we're going to take this country back for the people who built it.
The president has a moral obligation to rein in the right-wing extremists in his party and stop this divisive rhetoric about immigrants.
Democrats are the only party to have balanced the budget in America in the last 38 years. We will do it again.
A lot of us want to see 'Dean for America' evolve into something more, something that helps more Democrats win elections based on the message we created, ... The campaign has changed the party so much, and has really shown people what can be done if you inspire a movement of people. So a lot of us would like to see that organization continue. If it can't continue as a presidential campaign, we could still do some good for the party and for the country.
They are the party of selfishness and self-absorption.
I want to take this party back, so that we're proud of who we are again. I want to take this country back because we've moved too far to the right. And I want to take the White House back.
I don't think Democrats are ever going to be a national party unless we bring our message to every state.
My view is FOX News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on FOX News.
The Democratic Party, all the candidates from Washington, they all know each other, they all move in the same circles, and what I'm doing is breaking into the country club.
So what we - all we really want, I think, from the so-called Democratic wing of the Democratic Party is really to stand up for what we believe in.
That's one of the things about the Tea Party people. They think corporations have too much influence in American life and they do.
How much courage does it take for Dean to throw red meat to the party faithful?
There is a Party of fiscal responsibility... economic responsibility... social responsibility... civic responsibility... personal responsibility... and moral responsibility. That party is the Democratic Party.
You know, to listen to Senator Lieberman, Senator Kerry, Representative Gephardt, I'm anti-Israel, I'm anti-trade, I'm anti-Medicare and I'm anti-Social Security. I wonder how I ended up in the Democratic Party. I'm not a new entrant to the Democratic Party. I've been here a long time.
