Poll question: Who is more similar to Dean? |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-19-04 02:50 AM by Goldom
I guess this shouldn't really be a poll, because there are defined views both have, but quite honestly, I just don't know a lot about Edwards...
So... putting your personal views on either aside, which is closest to Dean?
(no "other" option, because I just want to know between these two)

1. Neither. Both represent the status quo. |
|
Edwards, however, had no domestic security credentials. Kerry may be more reptilian, but Edwards would be weaker against Bush.

6 years on the intelligence committee, before, during and after 9-11. On the senate investigation of 9-11, and on the judiciary committee.
Dean had the worst record of any governor when it came to the bare minimum of keeping his nuclear facilities safe

10. Link to the reactor allegation, please? |
|
It's funny how, despite his supposedly better security credentials, Edwards still voted for the IWR. That tells me that he's sat on committees but his judgement is suspect.

2. Edwards is unapologetic voting for Iraq war |

at least Kerry has a conscience and smart enough to listen to Dean and more importantly appropriate what Dean was saying as his own.

4. He voted for the Iraq resolution, not "for war" |
|
Dean really spun the hell out of that vote for something that it wasn't. He only said that he would have voted against it after it didn't get the UN on board like it could have.
Congress never voted for the US to invade Iraq

12. The IWR gave Congressional approval for Bush to wage war in Iraq |
|
at his discresion. No, it wasn't a declaration of war but it was a resolution that allowed the President to use his own "judgement".

Why Dean would endorse Edwards is still beyond me!

7. Strong Dean supporter sees no resemblance between Dean and Edwards. |
|
I don't get this affinity of Dean people for the vacuum that is John Edwards.

9. I find him less substantial than any of the others |
|
so I'm not surprised that anyone would find him less offensive. ;)
