Hi Lizzie,
re: <<When Dean changes his mind he just says he changed his mind. Of course some might think that is a bad thing, and there are plenty of times he inserted mouth in foot. But then, Bush has had quite a few gaffes also.>>
That's one of the things I like about Dean. He's not programmed like the rest, especially the insiders. Everything I hear from Kerry, Gephardt or Edwards they seem so scripted for that particular moment or that event. Actually the so-called gaffes of Dean only seem that way to beltway insiders, INCLUDING mainstream media which has been trying for 6 months to knock him down..
The Dean campaign is FAR more than him just getting elected. It goes FAR beyond that and it is scaring the shit out of both establishment dems and repubs.. Why?
Because if he (Dean) is successful, it is going to turn the whole political process completely upside down in this country.. In the way of fund raising, lobbying, media access, political advertising, name recognition, etc.. The political oligarchy from both parties, where family name is important, Bush, Kennedy, etc. will mean less.. The strangle hold held by these with their money (or their backer's money) and their media whores will start to loosen.. And that's what both parties are afraid of.. They are finally afraid of the intelligent masses.. Thanks to the internet..
Thank goodness, it's about time,
