I have come to believe that Dean has become a more real voice than he was during the primaries because I believe his supporters changed him INTO a REAL voice for progressive policy. Before, I felt like he made some awfully sudden shifts in his own positions and exaggerations of other candidates' positions that struck me as disingenuous. When HE changed and became more sincere about his leftward positioning, I changed my attitude towards him and left all resentments behind. You didn't hear one peep from me about the scream or any other bogus mudslinging at Dean. In fact, I pointed out that the media was trying to make Dean look crazy to keep Kerry from using Dean on the campaign trail and to keep the Dem party divided. Thankfully, ALL the Democratic candidates acted like a team for the general election which showed their real character. (Except Joe wasn't so hot.)

I sincerely disagree with ANYONE who thinks the Democratic platform is too far right or too far left. I sincerely disagree with ANYONE who claims that the Democrats are just as much in bed with corporations as the Republicans. If that were true, I would be in the Socialist Party and not give the Democrats another thought. But...IT IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING TRUE.

If it WERE true then why on earth would the corporations so overwhelmingly favor the Republicans while fighting Democrats and their proposals so fiercely?
