Dear Editor,
It's a rare talent that can make a remark about the Confederate flag and use it to perpetuate misleading stereotypes about blacks and whites alike. That's waffle-powered Howard for you, though. Howard Dean's positions are like the weather here in Indiana: Wait 10 minutes and they'll change. That's why, after I read Lauren Phillip's column last Friday, I was pleased that this was beginning to be recognized. More disturbing, though, is the fact that this flap is far from an isolated incident. Social Security, Medicare, affirmative action, and trade? Dean's changed his position on them all.-áDon't believe me? Go to deanfacts.com, where you can read Dean's own waffling words. When a man will say anything to get elected, does he really believe in anything?
We need a candidate who's stood by his values through thick and thin to beat Bush, and there the choice is clear. Dick Gephardt has stood by his values even when everyone else turned their backs on the Democratic base. Gephardt is the candidate we can trust to stay the course no matter how hard some might push to lead us astray. For Indiana, trade is of particular concern. God bless Bill Clinton for the things he got right, but trade wasn't one of them. NAFTA's first six years cost Indiana more than100,000 jobs, and in adjacent states more than 550,000 jobs were lost. Gephardt fought NAFTA and Fast Track, while Governor Dean supported both. We need someone who has the integrity to fight Bush's misery for middle class policies. We need a candidate who "leaves the dance with the one they come with," as Rev. Sharpton would put it, and that candidate is Dick Gephardt.
