19. This is crap
Where was Howard Dean when Paul Wellstone was trying to stop dumping in Sierra Blanca? I know where he was and I know where John Kerry was too, helping Paul Wellstone to get it stopped.

Where was Howard Dean on campaign finance in Vermont? I know where he was and I know where John Kerry was too, working with Paul Wellstone on campaign finance laws.

Howard Dean decided to create jobs in Vermont by turning it into a corporate tax haven, because, hey, at least it's not Bermuda!!

Howard Dean said that the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath would “require a re-evaluation of the importance of some of our specific civil liberties." He is NOT going to repeal the Patriot Act. How that is even a point of discussion is beyond me.

John Kerry did not vote for the Bush tax cuts, but I know who supported tax cuts in Vermont and who cut services as a result. And who eventually had to raise sales taxes which are more regressive than the taxes he cut.

If Howard Dean is the Democratic wing, the wing is badly broken.

On NCLB & IWR,

NCLB is a Ted Kennedy bill that was implemented badly by the Bush Administration Dept of Ed. It could have been implemented to support teacher training and school quality FIRST, instead of punishing schools first. It was a funding and Administrative failure.

And we are finding that people believe the IWR vote was RIGHT. Not allowing the inspections to continue is where the error was made and John Kerry was saying that precise thing all along.

Howard Dean, revolultionary. Good grief.
