\nMar 9, 2005: Governor Dean Statement on the Election of Doris Matsui<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know what I’d like to be asking Gov. Dean.<\/p>\n

Why doesn’t the word “bankruptcy” appear anywhere on this page?<\/p>\n

And how the hell could you have laid down and rolled over for the bankruptcy bill? If there was ever a bully pulpit to stand behind and use to point out the corporatist flaws of the GOP, this was it.<\/p>\n

Note that I’m not opposed to government actions that help corporations; sometimes what’s good for G.M. is actually good for America.<\/p>\n

But this was such a clear-cut case of taking from the weak and giving to the rich with no public purpose except giving more to those that have that my head is swimming.<\/p>\n

And the missed opportunity for the Democrats to define themselves – by challenging irresponsable and rapacious lending as much as they are challenging irresponsable borrowing – boggles my mind.<\/p>\n

Even if their side was doomed to go down to defeat, this was a place to make a public stand, and the failure to make that stand is more than a little puzzing to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
