| 28. 2004 - Corporate owned media puts him on covers of newsweek and time, |
|
plays up his campaign, gives out web site address, defines him as the anti-bush for all those people angry at Bush. Dean, meekly says, at first, "doesn't anyone want to talk about health care?" Nope. Ok, I'll ride this other wave.
What about his essential corporate-friendliness? Who cares, says his supporters.
I'm not sure that Perot and McCain were promising the populist promised land to voters. Perot ran because Bush I was so interested in promoting oil industries and ignoring the wealth redistributive and wealth-creating potential of new technologies ran against him. Perot wanted to redistribute more wealth away from oil, baniking and insurance and to himself more than he wanted it distributed to the people.
McCain just wanted to be TR, which has its virtues, but isn't exactly liberalism run riot.
It's interesting that Dean is being grouped with Perot and McCain rather than, say, Bobby Kennedy and Bill Clinton -- people who cared a great deal about the downward and outward redistribution of power, unlike Dean.
