Overall, I obviously agree more with his philosophies than with Bush’s philosophies, but my views are usually much closer to those of Howard Dean’s.

    Bush Talks A Good Game, Leaving Results To Speak For Themselves John Hanchette January 25, 2005 Olean, NY - Some observations on current events before I get back to shoveling snow ...
