"Take political power from big money interests and return it to the people: Campaign Finance Reform, Proportional Representation, Preference Voting, Electronic Town Hall, Election Day Holiday, Media reregulation, Term Limits. ** Dump free-investment, unfair-trade NAFTA and GATT so American workers don't have to compete with Chinese slave labor. Open markets with FAIR trade. ** Kick insurance companies out of health care; put doctors in charge of Single-Payer National Health System. ** Stop making Americans target of nuclear terrorists with Gunboat Diplomacy and misguided sanctions. Protect America's borders, not corporate profits. ** No national police force. Control or disarm FBI, DEA, CIA, INS, ATF, IRS. Americans should not have to live in fear of their own government. ** Protect the Environment ** Keep working to abolish Racism in America. ** Keep our promises to America's veterans."
Funny thing is, I agree with a lot of this.
Classic (or Goldwater) conservatism has many merits. Say what you want about Goldwater, but he was an honest guy who stuck to his guns. He was very pro-environment, hated the religious right, fought to keep government out of private lives, and was big on fiscal responsibility.
The neocon movement is facism, pure and simple.
I wish this guy luck. I would love to see Bush attacked on TWO fronts. I almost want to send hime money.
But I am DEFINITELY voting Democrat in '04. Still can't hate Bouman, though.
