work with..

Just yesterday he was defending his healthcare programs and how it could be paid for via rollbacks to high income tax cuts so I am unaware that he backed off of his plan, which while differing from Dean's is workable and does cover a large group of people thereby taking the STRAIN off of medicare for the most needy while conversely acknowledging that the healthcare industry is also a decent medium for GAINFUL employment...an issue progressives like to believe we are on the right side on.
On corporate accountability, there are many many issues so one can't put them all under one umbrella but his offshore banking bill certainly would have delivered a paper trail to tax cheats..toobad Bush overrode it by executive order then had to backtrack after 9/11.

He favors CLinton's plan of not awarding government contracts to companies that set up offshore shells in order to be tax cheats.

More importantly, a president NEEDS a congress to work with though. Many of the faces brought in with the Gingrich revolution can be made vulnerable but where are we all on taking back congress?

I fundamentally agree with the issues you feel SHOULD be part of the platform even if I don't agree with the FORM you fell those issues should take.

As for environmental protection, I doubt there is a better candidate if you scrolled the entire senate and congress than Kerry.
