At least Dean is a fiscal conservative, even if he is a social liberal. Bush is obviously not a fiscal conservative, as he never met a spending bill he didn't like.

Besided, nowhere in his post did he say to support Dean, he said to support an independent party. The two-party system is broken, it's time to inject a third.

You promote Dean's fiscal conservatism. Protagoras confesses he is not a political conservative. I think there is a home for both of you on DU.

"At least Dean is a fiscal conservative, even if he is a social liberal."

Howgash. That is Dean-powered cr*P. Vermont is a socialist state, one of the worse, and Dean did nothing to change that. he ran a state smaller than most *cities* and half-run by greens and socialists - he'll look conservative in comparison to such kooks but that is not a basis of comparison. Vermont taxes and spending and regulation are far from benign ,dispite the fact that it is a lily-white state with not a single large city - very *un*diverse.

Fact is, Dean is wholly and totally unqualified to even run for President as his experience is less useful to the Presidency that dozens of other Governors, hundreds of people who have been in washington, or for that matter generals (like Clark) and business leaders who have had to tackle larger and more difficult issues.

Dean is all mouth no cattle.
