4. Today, he's lying today
He's lying about not cutting services to Vermont's medical programs. He's lying about not supporting Medicare cuts in 1995. He's lying TODAY. That's the point, at least that's MY point.

But as to that 1995 Medicare bill, Dean supported huge tax cuts that would have been very hard for the medical industry to absorb all at once. He tries to say he supported Clinton's Medicare plans and Domenici's Medicare plans. Clinton vetoed Domenici's Medicare budget. So not only is he lying about what he supported, he's lying about what type of Medicare cuts he actually supports. Domenici's or Clinton's?

And as to headline spin, do-nothing Washington insiders seems to fit the bill. Especially since Howard Dean wouldn't have been able to do one single thing with Vermont's health care system without the work of those same Washington insiders.
