Why I Support Howard Dean
by Bill C. Davis

snip..

He’s smart. He’s clear. Neither qualities can be taken for granted when discussing the American presidency. His logic is crisp. He uses deductive reasoning. He speaks like a humane scientist. His positions seem to evolve from assimilating and interpreting facts. He does not seem to mold or withhold facts in order to promote a position in which he has an ego or monetary investment. He seems to take the mission statement of the Constitution to heart and applies an impassioned contemporary reason to it. He can be engaged. You get the feeling that if one frames a sensible argument he would integrate that into his decisions. His authority seems available to collaboration.

He's not a demagogue or religious fanatic. He sees human rights as a criterion for decision-making. He believes in separation of church and state. He seems to approach and treat the citizenry as if they are adults. He also seems to have galvanized a retiring sector of the population – a group that perhaps cynically or exhaustedly said, “what’s the point?” and consequently sat back. They’re now leaning forward to hear and support the observations and assertions of a thinking leader.

Even if George Bush did not happen to America, Dean would still be a wise choice for president. Given the unfolding catastrophe of the well oiled Bush Machine, human Dean seems to be an essential choice.

1. Hey! RogueTrooper!

:hi:

I like this Bill C. Davis!

"One of the first things I heard Howard Dean say in the course of an interview during the pre-Iraqi war period, was that an arrogant super power will find, as history has shown, that other countries, as they feel the sting of its arrogance, will organize to surround it and try to bring it down. The arrogance that engenders the current administration is causing the very thing Dean observed. In the same interview he said that not talking to North Korea makes no sense. He didn’t say that they’re too evil to talk to – he said with quintessential New England and global logic – it makes no sense not to talk to them. Observe – listen - deduce – speak. That’s why I like and support Howard Dean."

7. Me too man

I like him also, but it seems John Kerry will be the more popular candidate with the less-informed, less-anti-war crowds.

8. Great post. Dean is smart. That does it for me. He clearly states I

change directions when I need to. I have NEVER seen a candidate for the presidency as capable as he is. Brilliant.
