Howard Dean Quotes About Democracy

Quotes about: Democracy

• I think democracy fails under a variety of conditions and one of the conditions occurs when people don't have the ability to get the kind of information they need to make up their mind.

The reason that Republicans are such failures at governing is because they place the interests of their party ahead of the interests of the country.
