"I passionately supported the Greens in 2000 and 2002."

Thank you. In 2004 I hope your kids are old enough to follow in your footsteps.

Great read. However Bush still wins in 2004.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I passionately supported the Greens in 2000 and 2002. I traveled 125 miles to see Dennis Kucinich speak.

Soon, I expect to be released from this psychiatric hospital where I'm being held against my will.

A liberal wacko. They still can't be open with the American people about who they are and the policies they would like to impose upon the untermenschen riffraff, so they bob, weave, dodge, distort, misrepresent, and just outright lie about themselves, their worldview, and their hero Nikita Dean.

[goldstategop]

He knows Dennis the Menace and Ralph Nader are unelectable. So he's trying to convince other Lefties to skip the "purity test" and back someone electable. Nice try! Nikita Dean wants to take the Democrats to the left of California. Their party looks to crash like Thelma & Louise's car off the cliff of American politics. I'm praying for it with fingers crossed to happen.

Did you post this as a supporter of Dean or to let us all know what was being said?

redirect towards renewable energy? So you recommend him because he lies well?

"They still can't be open with the American people about who they are and the policies they would like to impose upon the untermenschen riffraff, so they bob, weave, dodge, distort, misrepresent, and just outright lie about themselves, their worldview, and their.."

Their modus operandi.

Dean, who sat on the board of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England for five years, is perhaps the strongest Democratic candidate in regard to abortion rights. The New Republic's coverage of a presidential forum on abortion rights mentioned that "Dean took partial-birth abortion, NARAL's most controversial and difficult-to-defend position, and made it the centerpiece of his speech, insisting that the term itself was an artifice manufactured by the right. 'This is an issue about nothing,' he proclaimed to the most boisterous applause of the evening.

That's what passes for "progressive" among people who lived after their brains were sucked out at birth.

This proto fascist nationalist says..Bring It On!

[swilhelm73]

When you seriously consider Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley Braun for president you are a certifiable wacko. Can you imagine when your party is running, in addition to the normal Democrat scum and villany, a racist murderer and an African style kleptocrat?

You would think that seeing that these are two of the ideologically pure candidates would give leftists pause at just how far out they have gotten...but I guess not.

[goldstategop]

No form of abortion will be ever found wanting by these folks. They live in a completely different universe from the rest of us.

[goldstategop]

Their hatred of President Bush overwhelms their rational cognitive faculties. I hope they keep it up.

The Progressive Case for Dean
by Nico Pitney

Why does Mr. Pitney hide behind the sobriquet "progressive"? Why doesn't he admit that he's a socialist?

Is he afraid to tell the truth?

[MEG33]

Yes!

[buffyt]

I wouldn't vote for a Green or a democrat for dog t*rd.

[Pikamax]

"++ Fiscal Conservatism: It now seems that Dean's hardline fiscal policies have paid some dividends. "

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
He raised taxes, Vermont is now in the top tier of taxation, and his medicaid program is a complete bust.

[John Valentine]

Go, Nico, Go!

Keep on talking Dean up this way, you're doing GREAT, helping out the "progressive" cause!

At least YOU think so! In the real world, your're helping out MY cause, the reelection of President George W. Bush!

[randog]

Why doesn't he admit that he's a socialist?

Because 'progressive' has a nicer ring to it than 'euro-weenie'?
