CAMPAIGN 2004
BY HOWARD DEAN Friday, August 22, 2003 12:01 a.m. EDT

'We Can Do Better'

"I will begin by repealing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts."

"The economy is going through tough times. The average American family is in trouble. The economy has been losing good jobs, and the benefits that went with them, at an astonishing rate."

"In about 500 days, the next president will take office. There will be an inaugural address, full of talk of promises and hopes. Let us hope the next inaugural speech holds up better in the perspective of history than the last one."

"Some of these measures will be unpopular, and many will be opposed by the special interests. But the next president must take swift and decisive action to restore the economic well being of our nation's families. They need meaningful jobs at good wages. They need the security of health insurance--no matter how old or young they may be, and without regard to their economic status. They have the right to educate their children to the limits of their abilities, not the limit of their pocketbooks, and to look forward to a secure retirement. In short, they expect a better deal, and deserve no less."

13. Positive coverage from the (dreaded fair and balanced) FOX

I refuse to watch the channel, and I am in shock. Dumbya will know he's in trouble if Rush ever takes on this tone.
