These were guys that didn&#8217;t take shit, and if Joe Lieberman (D- Sellout) had spent as much energy bringing down Bush as he did Clark and Dean in the primaries&#8230; this election would practically be over. The fact that Kerry is &#8220;Not Bush&#8221; works for me to get out and vote, but that&#8217;s not going to work for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They said Howard Dean was a loose cannon, but compared to John Kerry, at least Dean has a cannon.&#8221; <strong>&#8211;Bill Maher, talking to Dean last Friday, on Maher&#8217;s HBO show<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bush scores big points FROM me for one thing in this campaign: SIMPLICITY.
