Dean is hardly a liberal. His environmental policies in Vermont stunk. He had no choice but to allow for homosexual civil unions due to a Vermont Supreme Court decision and the legislature being likely to apss a much broader law to allow homosexual marriage. In fact, he explicitly stated he would never sign a bill into law that allowed for homosexual marriage and would only allow for civil unions. He is against medicinal marijuana, for the death penalty, and his health care reform platform will not even help the poorest and most vulnerable people in our society.
