AS, You seem to be in the school that says that the worst thing a politician can commit is the truth. Well, maybe. But I'm not buying it. Besides which, you are falling for and spreading the Repuglican lie about what Dean, Kucinich et al are proposing w/r/t taxes. They are not, as you hysterically claim, proposing to 'raise' taxes. They are instead proposing to reverse the ill advised tax giveaways to the rich passed by a fiscally drunk Congress and gleefully signed into law by the most fiscally irresponsible President of the modern era. ** BTW, your pony is on the wrong side of this issue: "Preventing the extension of NAFTA via the FTAA is job No. 1 at this moment. But even if the FTAA is blocked, NAFTA will remain. And that is why, in the coming presidential campaign, it is essential that the Democrats nominate a candidate who is willing to challenge NAFTA. Dennis Kucinich is calling for the United States to withdraw from NAFTA and to then negotiate bilateral trade agreements with Canada and Mexico that protect workers and the environment. Howard Dean says he wants to renegotiate NAFTA to emphasize those priorities, and Dick Gephardt, John Edwards, Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley Braun are similarly critical. In contrast, John Kerry and Joe Lieberman, both NAFTA supporters a decade ago, have shown little willingness to change direction.** Message 19526081 The bloom is off the rose on "free trade". Everyone in America knows this means that bastards like Walmart owners/managers get rich, and workers get the shaft. Perhaps your pony ought to reconsider and be "inconsistent" on this issue? :) Just a thought. Kerry is aligning himself with the repressive police state that we just witnessed in Maimi. How does that look for a Democrat? It make Kerry look like Mayor Daley in 1968, an object of derision.
