On speaking with forked tongues...

Looks like ol' Deaniac is speaking out of both sides of his mouth again...
Democratic chairman Howard Dean lied about mischaracterized his party's platform on gay rights in an interview courting evangelicals, then set the record straight Thursday when an advocacy group called him on it.

Dean told Christian Broadcasting Network News that the 2004 Democratic platform declares "marriage is between a man and a woman" - just one of the points he made in reaching out to religious conservatives who are largely hostile to the party.

But the platform does not define marriage that way, and his remarks prompted the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force to return a $5,000 donation from the Democratic National Committee.

And get a load of this:
Dean said that "one of the misconceptions about the Democratic Party is that we're godless and that we don't have any values."


He went on: "The truth is, we have an enormous amount in common with the Christian community, and particularly with the evangelical Christian community. And one of the biggest things that Democrats worry about is the materialism of our country, what's on television that our kids are seeing, and the lack of spirituality."

I don't think that there is a way on God's Green Earth that a person could have packed any more lies into those two short paragraphs.

Face it, democrats. Your chances of appealing to the Christian right are about the same as my appealing to the moronmoveon.org crowd.

Ain't. Gonna. Happen.

You may as well have tried to hit up the Pope for a donation to Planned Parenthood.
