Originality not wanted
Washington Monthly, April, 2004 by Charles Peters
> Presidential campaigns are usually hard on bold and original ideas. When Howard Dean dared to suggest that something should be done about the inequitable payroll tax, Dick Gephardt immediately attacked him for threatening to wreck Social Security. I'm sure it won't be long before the Republicans, not to mention the odious Ralph Nader, determined to destroy Kerry as well as his reputation, latch on to the fact that John Kerry once dared to criticize the "stifling bureaucracy" of the public schools and call for an "end to teacher tenure as we know it," and Kerry will have to say he didn't really mean it.
