Contexts for some of the older Dean quotes--sorry for the delay

As for Dean hating republicans, it's not hatred for any one individual but some of the things they've done as a party. As for the bizarre charge he made that republicans have never done an honest day's work in their lives, I'm not entirely sure; but I believe that was about Bush trying to remove the entitlement of social security, while disingenuously complaining that, Oh no! It's going to go bankrupt in 2042. Don't we all know that at a time when Bush 43 trusted Bob Woodward, Woodward asked him how he felt about his future legacy(I think that he recorded that in his book, Plan of Attack). The response? Bush said he didn't care what happened after he was dead. That's the response I believe! For a while the republicans lamented that democrats had not alternate plan to private accounts, but the truth is they didn't want to discuss it as long as the private account system was on the table. So essentially Dean was upset that people who had led mostly comfortable lives wanted to put hard-working americans on even shakier ground than they already are.
