Reply #5: Unchallenged statements will be viewed as the facts by many voters.

My fear is to see other candidates like Lieberman, Gephardt, and Edwards attacking the Dean and Kerry plans as unpassable single-payer plans. This would only further reduce public support for the concept of single-payer healthcare, and make the moderate plans of Dean and Kerry look like the ever undefinable liberal extreme that most neo-Democrats always flee in terror from.

Don't worry about me hanging, no bigot will ever get a rope around this neck.
