DEAN SAYS RACE MATTERS

At The Home of Uncommon Sense a query was posed if race matters. Well I guess it does if your the Democratic National Committee Chairmen. Howard Dean was blasting Republican priorities and telling black pastors in Miami that race played a "significant role" in the storms death toll. He also stated that Senate Republicans were more interested in repealing the inheritance tax for the wealthiest Americans than in hurricane relief. What the pastors should have asked was why after 30 or more years of democratic rule, why was there so much abject poverty.
After blasting Bush he said he wasn't in Miami to wag "the finger of blame" Dean nevertheless defended New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin. "He's an extraordinary man;he deserves our thanks," Dean said. 'What he doesn't deserve is spin doctors is spin doctors in the republican party attacking him. The president doesn't want to have fights about who to blame, then let's not blame the local people."
Its funny how the party that says its for blacks always find ways to exploit them.
I guess race does matter if your a democrat.
