I have to admit that I find that increasingly difficult to argue
against.  If that is what Mr. Dean is saying before he even got the
Democratic nomination, one wonder what will happen if he gets elected.
It is like a violent boyfriend - if he is violent while dating (i.e.
when he is on his best behavior), it will almost certainly get worse
after he gets married.  

BTW, I also checked Mr. Kucinich's web site - unlike Mr. Dean, he
remains silent (as of writing this posting) on the recent boastings of
the Bush gang about Mr. Hussein.  He did not feel the urge to jump on
the bandwagon of US triumphalism - and by doing so he gained quite a bit
in my eyes.  But even or fearless moderator Doug does not feel he is
electable, and for a good reason: the Bubbas like ass kicking and gore
(no pun intended).  

Therefore, you view

is overly optimistic.  I do not think anything will move in that
direction in this country in my life time. If anything, things will get
worse.  

I will nonetheless consider supporting some radical organization next
time I have some spare change.  Any suggestions?
