Reply #136: you'er mistaking me for a Dean supporter [View All]

[Djinn]

as an AUstralian I never got much info on the cadidates until Kerry was already picked, about all I could say I liked Dean over was that he seemed to have passion (why on earth did a "scream" cause such a big f'en deal??) but I think I was probably closer to Kucinich or Nader.

Personally I don't see NAFTA or continued support for intellectual property rights as very "liberal" I don't see stalling on medical care most of the rest of the industrialised world takes for granted very liberal.

I don't see shipping jobs into maquiladoras at the border that while stripping the living standards of US citizens right down do NOTHING to increase those living standard in Mexico (or wherever) as they allow NO unions or collective bargaining, pay non sustainable wages, pay little or no taxes and destroy the land they sit on - as very liberal

I'm also not a one issue voter but 100,000 people dead is pretty big - after the war German's expressing disgust at the Nazi's weren't "one issue" gripers - the war is a reflection of the many things I'm displeased with politicians in general - corporate aquiesence and the provision of bread and circus diversions from the REAL threast to our lives.

As for how to fix - that's up to you guys, I'm hard pushed working out why my fellow countrymen keep voting for Howard
