Dean's stand on 2 issues push him further to left than majority of American voters:
1) His protest against ousting Saddam Hussein.
2) His support for making gay marriages legal.

not to argue against your opinions, but just to correct
the right-wing twist on your misstatements about dean...

1)dean has NOT protested the ousting of Saddam Hussein.
he protested the internationally unsupported pre-emptive
invasion of a sovereign nation that was not a serious
threat to other nations by falsely portraying them
as a nation poised to attack america and other nations
with weapons of mass destruction.

here is his stand in his own words:

"I opposed President Bush’s war in Iraq from the beginning. While Saddam Hussein’s regime was clearly evil and needed to be disarmed, it did not present an immediate threat to U.S. security that would justify going to war, particularly going to war alone. From the beginning, I felt that winning the war would not be the hard part; winning the peace would be. This Administration failed to plan for the postwar period as it did for the battle, and today we are paying the price."
-Howard Dean

2)dean has neither supported nor opposed gay marriages.
marriage is a religious ceremony. he DOES support states'
rights to allow or disallow same-sex couples to enter into
civil unions that would give them civil rights and benefits
equal to opposite-sex couples.

here is his stand, in his own words:

"I will work to expand equal rights to same-sex couples and ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation, strengthen federal protections against anti-gay violence, give federal employees the right to name same-sex partners as beneficiaries, remove bias from our immigration laws, and end the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy."
-Howard Dean
