Reply #41: Dean is TOO nothing [View All]

He has changed his position so many times on everything, that those who have been too often screwed by the non minority politicians, simply do not trust Dean.

Most southern blacks prefer than international conflic of the nature we are now in be handled militarily.

What Dean IS is the opposite of what most of the minorities in the dmocratci party are. Socially conservative. Fiscally Liberal.

For the most part, Dean supporters either do not notice that he has changed his position a dozen times on every issue.

THe main thing that is going to kill Dean is his intial statements on Sociual Security, tied in with his other flip flops during the campaign. Even the idea of touching social security, rasing the retirement age will eventually be the kiss of death for Dean, as other cnadidates keep brining it up, along with Dean tendency to change his position depending on time and place. Remind people that Deans can also change his mind again about SOcial Security after he gets in office, when no one can stop him, and Dean is dead. Fean that Dean will do another flip flop will work well. After all Dean has supported raising the reirement age since 1995, and only recently said that was a mistake. THe old may get slow, but not stupid. That is all it will take. There are lots of baby boomers getting ready to retire now, and if Dean can flip once, he can flip again, and there is record of him doing so as gvernor which will make WONDERFUL front page re-runs at AARP.
Dean is going to spend the next five months defending his record, and trying to account fo differing statments on different issues when talking to different people.
