Transcript of Dean's Iowa Ad

By Aziz P. -

Via ABC's The Note, here is a transcript of Dean's ad in Iowa that debuts tomorrow:

They feature a simple, medium shot of a white-shirted Dean in front of what appears to be a very powerful tractor, some hay, and a barn.

"I'm Howard Dean. It's time for the truth."

He steps forward.

"Because the truth is that George Bush's foreign policy isn't making us safer."

"His tax cuts are ruining our economy and costing us jobs, and too many Democrats in Washington are afraid to stand up for what we believe in."

Cue the zoom.

"Well I believe it's time to put our people back to work. To provide health insurance for every American. A time for Democrats to be Democrats again. That's why I'm running for President."

"That's why I [a]pprove this message. I'm Howard Dean, and it's time to take our country back."


It wouldn't be The Note without some snarky comments about Dean's delivery style, but they do admit it's an effective ad. The campaign also promises it on Howard Dean.TV for those of us not in Iowa.

Am I missing something here?

Five Things Dean Supporters Can Do Right Now to Fight Terrorism

Or: how I stopped worrying and learned to support the spread of democracy in the Middle East. Hello, Dean Nation! The incomparable Aziz P. has kindly invited me to post here in addition to my usual perches at Liberals Against Terrorism and Chez Nadezhda . For that, I thank him, and I hope that I do him credit. Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
