Howard Dean Addresses NAACP Annual Convention

The entertaining DNC Chairman Howard Dean had this to say at the NAACP:
We're not going to divide Americans to win elections. The Republican Party's "Southern Strategy" used in the 1960s and 1970s lives today. In 2000, they used the racially charged word "quota" to divide African Americans. In 2004, they used gay marriage. And just you wait; in 2006 its going to be immigrants. We need to stand together. We are all children of God, equal in the eyes of God. We need to stand up for social justice. The one thing the Democratic Party will never do - we will never divide Americans to win elections. We'll never do that...
Never is quite a long time for a politician, any politician.What about raising taxes on the upper 2% ? Isn't that dividing America, or do the upper 2% count as tax slaves? Democrats
