Frases de Howard Dean

Howard Dean . Ex gobernador del estado de Vermont desde 1991 y ex-aspirante del Partido Demócrata a la Casa Blanca.

Dean se graduó en Medicina en 1971 en la Universidad de Yale y obtuvo su diploma de médico en 1978. Fue elegido representante del Congreso de Estados Unidos por Vermont desde 1982 hasta 1986, año en el que fue elegido lugarteniente del Gobernador de Vermont.

Howard Dean mantuvo la doble faceta, como médico y político, hasta 1991, cuando la repentina muerte del gobernador republicano de Vermont, Richard Snelling, lo impulsó a buscar ese cargo.

Fue uno de los primeros en anunciar su aspiración a la candidatura para las elecciones presidenciales de EE.UU. de 2004, concretamente el 31 de mayo de 2002. Atrajo la atención de muchos activistas con sus acusaciones directas al gobierno de Bush, principalmente en lo referido a su estrategia en política exterior y la guerra de Irak, así como con el uso de Internet para recolectar fondos de sus seguidores. Cuando todas las encuestas le daban un triunfo arrollador sobre sus nueve contrincantes demócratas, su máximo rival John Kerry dio la sorpresa al ganar el caucus de Iowa y a partir de ahí, la candidatura de Dean fue decayendo. Obtuvo sólo una victoria simbólica en Vermont después de haberse retirado de la lucha por la candidatura.

Dean plantea la responsabilidad financiera para llegar a la justicia social y aboga por una política con un nuevo talante diplomático en el marco internacional sin renunciar a unas fuerzas armadas modernas y fortalecidas; pretende recuperar la esencia progresista del Partido Demócrata, apoya el derecho al aborto, la utilización de drogas con fines terapeúticos, la unión civil entre homosexuales, la creación de una Seguridad Social para jubilados y limitar la aplicación de la pena de muerte para casos extremos.

Finalmente, Dean fue el presidente del Comité Nacional Demócrata entre 2005 y 2009, en un momento en el que los demócratas mantuvieron el control en la Cámara de Representantes y del senado.

“The Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. I mean, they're a pretty monolithic party. They pretty much, they all behave the same, they all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party. Again, the Democrats abduct everybody you can think of. So, as this gentleman was talking about, it's a coalition, a lot of it independent. The problem is, we gotta make sure that turns into a party, which means this: I've gotta spend time in the communities, and our folks gotta spend time in the communities. I think, we're more welcoming to different folks, because that's the type of people we are. But that's not enough. We do have to deliver on things, particularly on jobs, and housing, and business opportunities and college opportunities, and so fourth. I think, there has been a lot of progress in the last 20-40 years, but the stakes keep changing. I think there's a lot of folks who vote, maybe right now, in the Asian-American communities, who don't wanna vote Democrats, but they're angry with the President on his immigration policy, the Patriot Act. But, what we need to do while this is going on, is develop a really close relationship with the Asian-American community, so later on there's gonna be a benefit, you know, more equal division. There'll be some party loyalty, as people would rememeber that we were there when it really made a difference. That's really what I'm trying to do. If I come in here 8 weeks before the elections, we're not getting anywhere. Asking if you would vote, you're still mad at the lesser of two evils. So that's why I'm here 3.5 years before the elections. We want different kind of people to run for office, too. We want a very diverse group of people running for office, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos. I think Villaraigosa's election in Los Angeles is incredibly important for the Democratic Party. Bush can go out and talk all he wants about "this is the party of opportunity", you know, he can make his appointments, Condi Rice, or, what's this guy's name, Commerce Secretary, Gutierrez. But you can't succeed electorally if you're a person of color in then Republican Party, there're very few people who have succeeded. You can pick some out, JC Watts, I'm trying to think of an Asian-American who's been a success who's a Republican, I can't think of one off the top of my head. You know, there's always a few, but not many. Because this is the party of opportunity for people of color, and for communities of color. And we're hoping to cement that relationship so that'll always be that way. [Q: You've been very tough on the Republicans, some Democrats criticized you over the weeked for doing that, Joe Biden…] I just got off the phone with John Edwards. What happened was, John Edwards was, in a sense, set up by the reporter, "well you know, Governor Dean said this". Well what I said was, the Republican leadership didn't seem to care much about working people. That's essentially the gist of the quote, and, you know, the RNC put out a press release. I don't think there's a lot of difference between me and John Edwards right now, I haven't spoken to Senator Biden, but I'm sure that I will. Today, it's all over the wires that Durbin and Sheila Jackson Lee and all of these folks are coming to my defense. Look, we have to be tough on the Republicans; the Republicans don't represent ordinary Americans, and they don't have any understanding of what it is to have to go out and try to make ends meet. You know, the context of what I was talking about was these long lines that you have to wait in to vote. How could you design a system that sometimes causes people to vote, to stand in line for 6 or 8 hours, if you had any understanding what their lives are like: they gotta pick up the kids, they gotta work, sometimes they have two jobs. So that was the context of the remarks. [crosstalk/laughter] This is one of those flaps that comes up once in awhile when I get tough, but I think we all wanna be tougher on the Republicans.”
