Reply #29: All Kerry can do is put his plans out there... [View All]

It's up to you to decide why his are better.

If Kerry is attacking Dean now - well, payback is a drag. Dean has been bashing ALL the other candidates since the beginning.

I can't agree with you that Dean's positions are solid. Four months ago, Dean was my number two choice. Then I started looking at his actual record of governance in Vermont - and found major disconnects between that and his positions now. The Howard Dean who was governor of Vermont seems to be a completely different Howard Dean from the one who is running for president.

Some may call this evolution. Some may call it flip-flopping. I call it an opportunistic politician who is willing to take whatever poition he thinks will win him an election.

Kerry's positions, like them or not, have been pretty consistant over his entire career. And, to be honest, I don't like all of them. But, over time, Kerry has convinced me he is a man of principal - Howard Dean has not.
