17. socially progressive and fiscally "conservative" ((wink wink nudge nudge))

Boy, the media just loves these 2 faced social progressives--just so long as they are "fiscal conservatives" (fiscal conservative meaning some pro-business, pro-yuppie, pro-business DINO).

From the article:


"Then, as now, Dean inspired an outside-the-Beltway, Net-based crusade whose shock troops adored his social progressivism and his fearless opposition to war in Iraq.



And of course when it comes to cutting taxes, raising the Social Security retirement age, and other welfare state programs, Dean is of the Reagan-Gingrich school of politician. Hence, Dean's media darling status.

Yeah, Dean is JUST to the left of Reagan, when it comes to economics:

Get a load of how the media transforms Rightwing DINOs into liberals:

For now, the front-running alternative is former congressman Martin Frost of Texas, a pro-labor moderate with a lifetime of traditional organizing who survived 13 terms in Dallas before the GOP redistricted him into oblivion.


I have already posted links about how this turkey has called for moving the party to the right....
