Three orders of magnitude better than Chimpy.

re: NAFTA: Nobody except Kucinich is really against NAFTA. Maybe Gep.
Dennis is great but needs to show more legs otherwise I have to support Dean. Most politicians don't get why the people don't like their wonderful free trade crackpot theories. That's because they don't have to live with the results. The people need to push this one and Dean is the guy who owes his entire success in this campaign to we the people. See below.

re: GM food: labeling is a start because then people won't buy the stuff and Monstanto goes out of business.

re: Fiscal responsibility: Not the classic liberal thing but it's what we need after Chimp.

re: Mobilizing the people: If Dean gets elected it's because of we the people, not because of the DLC and the corporations. Even if he has a particular stand now, he knows exactly to whom he owes his success so far. He will listen.

Dean gets big points for making grassroots politics possible again.

I've watched politics my whole life since the 1960 election (I was 6). This is the first election since 1972 where candidates are actually talking intelligently about real issues. (Well, Jesse Jackson did too). And where a lot of people are paying attention. The Internet, DU, and Dean, Kucinich, Sharpton and Braun get a lot of the credit for this. Gephardt gets half credit because he's opposing NAFTA somewhat. We are throwing off the oppressive yoke of the media and campaign consultants at last. Keep it up.
