There are not barriers really bothered me as well! I have a feeling this is going to turn into one large campaign issue and get really nasty from the left.

Can you imagine if Dean gets the nomination for the RATS?

I wonder if the leftists in the democrat party are going to fracture it by being so extreme. BTW, you posted later about co-opting langauge. That is an old communist trick. Probably used before then as well. If you have never read this, I highly recommend Wild Swans, the story of the girls of a Chinese family who eventually came to America. But what is jaw-dropping is their (true) description of the way propaganda and language was used to control the people. black was literally white, good was bad. It is a dead ringer - though perhaps we are less extreme - for what is going on here.
