Dean on Finding out Halliburton Overcharged Taxpayers

[slinkerwink]

Statement on Halliburton Audit

BURLINGTON--Governor Howard Dean, M.D., issued the following statement today on reports that a Pentagon audit has found that Halliburton overcharged the government:

"We've recently learned what many Americans have suspected for a long time -- special interest contributor Halliburton is overcharging the American taxpayers. Now this President is preventing entire nations from bidding on contracts in Iraq so that his campaign contributors can continue to overcharge the American taxpayers. For the safety of our troops, we need to make sure every penny in Iraq is spent wisely and efficiently."

1. Way to throw a punch!

Dean is "electable" because he can unite the anti-Bush majority in this country.

He is going to make this election a referendum on Bush, and he is going to win.

He is not going to let anything "slide."

The media will have no choice but to cover him, and he is going to "surface" every scandal.

2. that's exactly right!

12. Well, duh!

That's why he's Bush's (and Rove's) worst nightmare.

23. um...

$2000 to Dean

Granted, it's hardly the likes of which Dubya gets, but if Dean is going to be taking Halliburton to task accepting campaign funds from them could be kind of awkward.

22. It's smart of Dean to keep using the phrase "special interest"...

Voters really respond to this. The right has been successful for decades in convincing voters that Dems were the party of special interests (of course, those "special interests" were large segments of the general population, such as African-Americans, women, etc.)
