And, given the stuff Dubya supports and calls for, just what would be the difference between him and Dean? Please be specific.

Dubya has, to quote a good number of FR posters, taken all the issues the Dems would raise off the table by out-liberalling the libs. He has scarcely even ACKNOWLEDGED the Conservative base, let alone pursued ANY of their issues and concerns, to the point that, IMO, he's a one-termer.

Oh, and good riddance. At least when a Dem has the helm, people like you will rightly oppose his policies. Dubya just gets pass after pass. It's disgusting.

You leave me speechless. Anyone who thinks there is no difference between Bush and Dean must not be living in a real world -- is the most charitable way I can put it.

Well,Dean will ask the UN permission to enact foreign policy.The Un would take over Iraq.

France gets"first right of refusal" if we need to implement something like Iraq or Afghanistan if Clark gets in.He says he couldn't catch war criminals because of allied sensitivity in Bosnia,Kosovo,Serbia,but insists we turn over Iraq to the same group!.

Dean will cancel the tax cuts.Clark said it didn't matter where Osama is tried if he is caught.Dean says his emphasis is on education,health care and (jobs) I suppose.He doesn't tell us how he is going to prevent outsourcing.Dean believes in gay unions,abortion.

Here is an excerpt from an article totally appropriate for your comment:

Uninformed voters are ruining politics

The ignorance of the typical American when it comes to politics is often staggering.

This ignorance is the real reason special interest groups and demagogues have the success they do (though it's a wonder they don't have more). For example, we are constantly told by extreme left-wing groups and more than a few rightwing groups that there's no difference between the political parties.

As anyone who pays attention to politics knows, this is monumental nonsense on stilts; informed people understand that a Dean administration will be very different from a Bush administration.

But if you get much of your news from late-night comics - as is the case with nearly half of young voters, according to the Pew Research Center - it makes complete sense that you'd think there's no difference between the parties, in much the same way people who don't understand physics think protons and electrons are pretty much the same thing.

But Americans don't like being told they're the problem. So when they eventually tune into politics they tend to blame the candidates, as if it's the actors' fault you don't understand the play when you arrive for the last five minutes.
