Reasons why Howard Dean would make a good president:
1. Dean is a fiscal conservative. As governor of Vermont he tooka record decifit and made it into a surplus without raising huge taxes and while providing health care to 99% of children in the state. Bush by contrast has run up huge deficits while simultaneously lowering taxes for the wealthiest americans. You can't increase spending humoungously and cut your income.
2. Dean isn't owned by large corporations. He has almost exclusively financed his campaign from small donations on the internet from individual voters. Bush collects huge donations from corporations in exchange for favors.
3. Dean has been consistently against the war in Iraq. He rightly acknowledges that Saddam Hussein was never an imminent threat to the United States. He might have been a threat 10 yearsd ago but sanctions and UN efforts had reduced his capacity to put up any fight. Osama Bin Laden is a threat, Saddam is not. Obviosuly Saddam is a bad man and is better out of power, but Bush hasn't fixed anything for Iraqis. People laugh about Dean claiming we weren't any safer now that Saddam is captured, but now that we have destroyed the Saddam government, Iraq is anarchic and a haven for terrorists. If anything, toppling Saddam has strengthened Al Qaeda. Saddam never supported them anyway. It's the Saudis who support Al Qaeda.
4. Dean stands up and speaks the truth. Bush lies constantly.
That is enough for now...
