Reply #3: Some of the facts stated here are true [View All]

many of the opinions about those facts are worth what opinions are usually worth, and many of the stated facts are not in evidence. I can point you to some threads and articles where many of these topics have been discussed.

But there are people here who maintain a "data dump on Dean" thread, where most of the answers you are looking for can be found.

As far as sealing his records, after Whitewater I would advise all Democrats to do the same until our press corps shows that they can handle their jobs responsibly, and separate the shit from the shinola as far as attacks on Democrats. See "The Hunting of the President" by Conason and Lyons on why this might be a fantastic idea.

On Dean and gay rights, see dsc's excellent post at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=108&topic_id=26289

On Dean's environmental record, I found this article very balanced and illuminating: http://www.cmonitor.com/stories/news/state2003/082103dean_env_2003.shtml
