Reply #20: That site just shows different ways Dean disagreed with Gingrich but

[Feanorcurufinwe]

just because Dean disagreed with Gingrich on issues A,B and C doesn't change the fact that Dean did and still does favor cutting the Medicare growth rate.

If the charge being levelled at Dean was 'you are just like Gingrich' then these arguments might be a good defense. But the charge against Dean is that he favored, and still favors, the Republican plan to cut the Medicare growth rate.

I've quoted http://www.liberaloasis.com/archives/091403.htm above and anyone who thinks I am quoting out of context is welcome to read it for themselves.

DEAN: I've got to find out…but I fully subscribe to the notion which is to reduce the Medicare growth rate to ten percent or less, I'm sure I said that.

Present tense. Dean is in favor of this now, just as he was in 1995.
