similarities of Dean and Bush

Both raised in a privileged lifestyle.

Both avoiding Vietnam. Bush dodging, Dean being "very well prepared" with a doctors note and Xray.

Both avoiding campaign fund cap spending. Dean going back on his word. Dean said he needed to do this to compete with Bush. His campaign then said they will spend everything needed to defeat fellow Dems.

Both refuse to open files to more public scrutiny.

Both lacking any shread of World Affairs experience.Both saying they have "great advisors" to assist them in that area.

Both bringing marginal experience ( if that ) to the governing, and leadership of the USA.

... and those are only a few that came to me in a second.

How low can you guys go! :+

energy de-regulation
Balanced budgets (though there is a diff here in follow-thru)
supported NAFTA and the Cuban embargo
eliminating the use of race in AA
NRA

That's probably because they both have a Yale education.

praising Bush and his band of thugs.

Get out the fire extinguishers folks. Similarities can be drawn between any two people, some of them are even relevent. I don't think this sort of thing is helpful here. It's one thing to say why you think one candidate is preferable to another. Comparing anyone to George Bush is fighting words. Might as well shout Fire in a Theater.
