OMG jullie mensen zijn echt blind voor de werkelijkheid. Dean is veel te liberaal voor de gemiddelde amerikaan. Daarnaast streeft Bush naar een budget van 400 miljoen dollar. Met een dergelijke som geld kan zelfs ik president van de US worden

Kort gezegt: Dean is kansloos mits Bush het geld bemachtigt wat hij denkt nodig te hebben.

Al Gore steunt Howard Dean

Al Gore has decided to endorse Howard Dean for president, aides to the men said Monday, a move that rocked the Democratic presidential field and hastened Dr. Dean's evolution from a long-shot maverick to a leading candidate of the Democratic establishment.

Ik heb me er nog niet geheel in verdiept, maar ik heb het idee dat hij iets te linksdenkend is naar mijn zin. Echter is Bush een veel slechtere president dus als ik tussen die twee zou moeten kiezen zou ik zeker voor Dean gaan.

Wat wel duidelijk wordt is dat hij een die Hard Union man is , die de vakbonden weer alle deuren zal openen wanneer hij aan de macht is.

Hij heeft het over protectie, over het herinvoeren van de staal tarieven , dat de belastingen omhoog moeten.

1) Geen schijn van kans in de USA
2) voor mij persoonlijk nog minder atractief als george Bush

echter heeft hij het veel te veel over de trade unions.
Als oplettende lezer krijgt men bijna de indruk , dat hij een Unions Payed man is.

En dat doet het in de USA niet goed.

MATTHEWS: General, do you think Osama bin Laden, if we catch him, when we catch him, should be tried here at the U.S. or in the Hague, the international court?
CLARK: I would like to see him tried in the Hague, and I tell you why. I think its very important for U.S. legitimacy and for building other support in the war on terror for trying them in the Hague,e under international law with an international group of justices, bringing witnesses from other nations. Remember, 80 other nations lost citizens in that strike on the World Trade Center. It was a crime against humanity, and he needs to be tried in international court.
MATTHEWS: Well, 3,000 Americans were killed here. Do you believe he should be held exempt from capital punishment, because if you send him to Hague he will be. They dont have capital punishment at the Hague.
CLARK: I think thats a separate issue. I think thats a separate issues.
MATTHEWS: No, its a key issue, because the sentencing limitation, they do not execute people at the Hague.
CLARK: I think that you can adequately punish Osama bin Laden, and youve got to look beyond simple retribution against an individual. You have to look at whats in the long-term security interest in the security in America and you have to look at how we handle the war on terror from here on out.
MATTHEWS: But doesnt life in Holland beat life in a cave?
CLARK: Not in a Dutch prison. Chris, they're under water, they're damp, they're cold, they're really miserable.

Dean camp condemns bin Laden ad

Commercial attacks candidate's national security credentials
Thursday, December 18, 2003 Posted: 0228 GMT (10:28 AM HKT)

_{A group called "Americans for Jobs, Healthcare and Progressive Values" aired the ad in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.}

(CNN) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean's campaign called on rivals Wednesday to disavow a television ad that uses an image of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to attack the former Vermont governor's national security credentials.

A group calling itself "Americans for Jobs, Healthcare and Progressive Values" aired the ad in the early Democratic battlegrounds of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

"Howard Dean just cannot compete with George Bush on foreign policy," an announcer intones over a magazine cover featuring bin Laden's visage. "It's time for Democrats to think about that, and think about it now."

Dean's campaign manager, Joe Trippi, called the ad "the kind of fearmongering attack we've come to expect from Republicans," one that "panders to the worst in voters."

He called on Dean's rivals to condemn the ad and demand it be pulled off the air.

"This type of ad represents everything that is wrong with our political process today -- polluting our airwaves with smears on other candidates that have nothing to do with legitimate policy differences," Trippi wrote in a letter to his counterparts in other campaigns.

"Ads like this are the reason that less than half of the voting population in America bothers to go to the polls."

The group was founded in November as a nonprofit committee known as a "527" -- named for the section of the tax code that limits its requirement to disclose the source of its funding.

Its leadership includes two people with ties to Dean's Democratic rivals -- David Jones, a former aide to Rep. Dick Gephardt, and Robert Gibbs, a former spokesman for Sen. John Kerry's campaign.

Jones issued a statement Wednesday saying the ad was meant to raise the issue of Dean's "national security and foreign policy experience."

"That is the ad's intention and that is what it does," he said.

In a Tuesday conference call with reporters, Gephardt denied any knowledge of the ad and called on the group to disclose its donors.

"I wish they weren't running the ads," he said. "I'm sorry they're doing this, but there's nothing I can do about it. But I would call on them and any other 527s to reveal their donors in a timely manner."

But a spokesman for Sen. Joseph Lieberman, who has hammered Dean's opposition to the war since the weekend capture of fugitive Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, echoed its criticism while denouncing its tone.

"We agree with Joe Trippi that this ad is produced and presented in a way that is over the top," said Brian Hardwick, Lieberman's deputy campaign director.

"But we also agree that it's exactly the kind of ad that Republicans would run. And that's precisely the problem. Simply put: The Democratic nominee will not win in 2004 if he appears weak on defense."

In August on "Larry King Live," Dean deflected criticism of his opposition to the war. "I think it's great that Saddam Hussein is not in power, but I would have approached it in a very different way," he said.

Afghanistan, he said, deserves more attention, because the alliance between al Qaeda and the Taliban "was an issue for the national security of the United States."

This past weekend, Dean called the capture of Saddam, "a great day of pride in the American military and a great day for the Iraqis and a great day for the American people."

The 527 committee's funding has come in part from labor unions, but a spokesman for one of those unions disavowed the spot Wednesday.

"If it was up to me, I'd ask for a refund," said Rick Sloan, communications director for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which donated $50,000 to the group.

The union has endorsed Gephardt, the Missouri congressman and former House minority leader. But Sloan said the union did not discuss the commercial with Gephardt, and said it could backfire "big time."

"I think this has done more damage to Gephardt than any of his opponents ever could have done. The day after the primary or caucus, the Democrats have to go back to living with each other and working with each other," Sloan said.

"This kind of attack ad just drives them crazy, and rightfully so. It makes the job of pulling back together all that much harder. I don't know what they were using for brains -- lug nuts?"

Bradley endorses Dean

'An idealist who's willing to be tough'

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Saying Howard Dean is more an idealist than an angry candidate, former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey gave his endorsement Tuesday to the Democratic presidential candidate at a boisterous rally in New Hampshire.

[...]

"In 2000 many Americans in Iowa and New Hampshire gave me their support and across the country gave me their support and I continue to consider their support a sacred trust," Bradley said. "This year many of them have asked me who among this very capable group of candidates I would recommend. My answer is Howard Dean."

[...]

Dean stunned the Democratic establishment last month when he won the backing of former Vice President Al Gore.

Bradley, who challenged Gore for the 2000 presidential nomination and came close to winning the New Hampshire primary, has been talking with Dean for several months.

Several top Bradley campaign aides are now working for Dean, including national spokesman Jay Carson and political director Gina Glantz.

[...]

Other New Jersey Democrats last month backed Dean, including Gov. Jim McGreevey, House Democratic Conference Chairman Robert Menendez and Rep. Rush Holt.

Dean is currently working on securing the endorsement of early-primary governors, including Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano.

Voters will report to the regular voting polls between the hours of 7:00 am and 8:00 p.m. The nominees are Howard Dean, Al Sharpton, Carol Moseley Braun and Dennis Kucinich. There will be no write-in provisions allowed due to the party rules of the Democratic State Committee. This means voters will not be able to vote for the other five candidates, John Kerry, Wesley Clark, John Edwards, Joseph Lieberman and Richard Gephardt because they opted out of the District's first in nation primary. However, Evans urges supporters of the five candidates who withdrew to go ahead, go the polls next Tuesday, and write in their candidate.

Dean daalt licht, en Clark stijgt een paar procent. Maar nog steeds Dean by a mile.
