Dean criticized Greenspan and Washington politicians within days of the New Hampshire primary.

"Listen to what they say. You can have middle-class tax cuts. You can have health care for every American ... you can help every American go to college. Do you believe that?" Dean asked a crowd of 200 people at a town hall outside of Manchester.

The former Vermont governor did not name his opponents for the nomination but clearly had them in mind when he told the crowd it was time to stand up to President Bush and Republican polices.

2. Go, Dean!

He's saying the right things, and excoriating the right targets.

The former Vermont governor did not name his opponents for the nomination but clearly had them in mind when he told the crowd it was time to stand up to President Bush and Republican polices.

Gee, do you suppose? Bush didn't pull the Patriot Act or the war out of thin air: he was helped by some of the people now running for president.

3. He's absolutely right....

and every single one of these guys, candidates or not, who piss and moan about the plight of the average American has had a chance to make a difference on a human level. Most walked away or sold their souls at the next chicken dinner for pottage.

Slap away, Howard.
