Demonizing Dean Won't Absolve The Health Care Sham

How dare a progressive suggest a vote against the Senate health bill? When Howard Dean did just that last week, he was roundly condemned for casting aspersions on what even many of its more ardent supporters admit is an obviously flawed bill.........here
