John Adams Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 This is an odd story, and the thing that grinds my bones about this is that Bush does these things on MY dime. When I'm paying for him to speak, I should be allowed to hear it, even if I disagree with what he's saying. Open and Honest Debate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard of these stories from both sides of the aisle, especially during the Presidential campaign last year. Neither party seems to like being questioned on things. They just expect people to drink the Kool-Aid and go along with whatever is said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like "Town Hall" meetings where the toughest question is: "In your opinion, is your plan to overhaul Social Security the greatest idea ever? Because I think it is."

He is now relegated to a party official and even that he is being marginalized by members of his own party. They will use and abuse him for his fund-raising abilities, but that is it.

From what I was gathering way back when, he was fiscally conservative and cut back govt in VT and turned it around during an economic downturn. He was socially liberal in that in many cases he wanted the gov't out of personal decisions. My biggest problem with Dean is that he decided to become a party man, when he had an opportunity to be his own man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would need to backtrack on several issues and that would make him a very easy target for the Big Two. He would have to run as an Indy. I can tell you right now that the Libertarians would not take him and they are the largest third party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
