Honesty in Politicians
Misinformation, whether it comes from the Bush administration or from a Democratic candidate rubs me the wrong way. I have refrained from writing about my misgivings toward Howard Dean knowing that he, at this point, has been capable of motivating hundreds of thousands of people. I also know that of those people, many have swallowed the media line and considered Dean to be the 'electable' one, over and above Kucinich, while prefering Kucinich in their hearts and minds.
How many Dean supporters are willing to sit by and watch yet another misrepresentation? We all know that Dean was not the 'first and only' to oppose the war from the start, yet he is mailing brochures to homes in New Hampshire stating that as a fact. This is dishonest and unethical and gives me visions of 'just another slimy politician who will do anything to win'. If Dean supporters don't want him perceived in that light, then I urge you to communicate your disapproval and set him straight. Honesty, not misrepresentation is what we are all looking for. Can Dean give it to us? I'm beginning to have serious doubts.
