83. Dean is more pro-Israel than Kerry
Check this out: http://video.msnbc.com/id/4137092/

Muslims also tend to view Kerry's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as sympathetic to Palestinians.

Not to say that Muslims aren't also impressed by Dean's stance on Iraq, but to say that Kerry will be a blind supporter of Israel is clearly ignoring the facts.

Dean's stance against NAFTA is about as fake and packaged as any gripe you Dean supporters have against Kerry. Dean went to bat for many big businesses in Vermont, such as being lenient on polluters like IBM. Jean Chretien said he would reform NAFTA. Many people say they will. At least John Kerry has the Kerry Amendment to show something for reforming NAFTA. Dean was and is for NAFTA.

"I know Kerry has supported gay/lesbian rights more than most, but how can we trust him? "

I'm sorry, I REALLY do not mean to offend you, but how the hell can you say that without saying the same for Dean? The doctor was a DLC centrist in Vermont. How can you trust him with all the schtick he says? HD, a self-professed ideal candidate for the CATO Institute, being an anti-NAFTA blue collar far-left wing revolutionary?

"This guy is an insider in a party that listens to Lieberman!"

Yeah, they listened to Lieberman so much that no notable DLC member (like Gore or McGreevey, who went for DEAN) endorsed him.
