"Both post 9 and post 29 claim that he would repeal Bush's tax cuts for the poor which you also call a tax increase. Post 39 described a $126 (I was off by $2) tax cut you say you got. In that same post you claimed to have an income below the poverty level."

Well, I did get a check for $126 from the federal government, that I know. And I do know that ellimiating the Federal Tax break would take that away. You said that the greatest amount was $56 for a poor person. Taking that away would be a $56 tax increase would it not?

"Finally as to civil unions. Dean has said, repeatedly, that he wants all the federal rights of marriage to be given to civil unions. Lieberman has said that he would do this on a right by right basis (there are over 1000). That is a radically different position. site for both the HRC forum for both and OITM and the HRC forum for Dean."

That is isn't radically different. Both are for Civil Unions and both are against Marriage. You are spliting hairs on this one.If Lieberman gives 999 of the same rights to gays and lesbians as marriage that is the same. Liberman did not say he opposed Civil Unions, he said he would go through the rights. He said he was opposed to Marriage for Gays. So did Dean. They both agreed on Civil Unions and Marriages for gays, that is the same to me. If one said I am against Civil Unions and Marriage and the other said I am for marriage and Civil Unions I would think you got it right.
But they are Both are for Civil Unions and both are against Marriage. You are spliting hairs on this one.
