Are you for government enforced medication? Dean is.

I watched Dean's talk in Arnolds Park last night on C-span. I disagree with him on the issue of mandatory medication, as well as others. I also find his postion on the issue indicative of all his positions. The similarity is that by the time he is done talking about the issue you can't tell where he stands on it. But he does take credit for passing the law that brought mandatory medication into being in Vermont and that speaks louder than anything else he had to say about the issue. What also becomes clear through his comments is that he has absolutely no understanding of civil liberties as an issue only that they're an issue, to some people.

The rest of his talk was annoying too. He has his own version of the smirk which is a prudish little pursing of the lips. He doesn't come off as being particularly charismatic or interesting. In fact he comes off as a bore and a panderer.


http://c-span.org/ it is the dean video and the comment on mandatory medication starts at 46:40
