Reply #17: I support both [View All]

I think that right now both are working their asses off. I actually think Kerry worked his ass off during the campaign as well.

In addition, I will not gripe that Dean isn't exactly where I want him to be.

Actually, I don't like that kind of criticism of either one. It's too easy in my opinion if Dean is in one place, to say "Why is he not here, or there, or over there." He is where he is, doing what he's doing. He's where he thinks he needs to be at this very moment, and is not being played like a pushmepullyou.

That annoyed me about the criticism about Kerry during the campaign as well. If he was talking about Iraq, people wanted him on the economy. If he was on the economy, he was supposed to be talking health care. If he was talking health care, he was supposed to be talking about the environment. If he was talking about the environment, he was supposed to be talking about Iraq.

I think this reveals much about the party. There are so many forces that consider their issue to be the most important. We are not unified, we are scattered. That is part of the problem.

I support both Kerry and Dean and any Democrat who has a positive action to support. We are not served by replaying the primaries endlessly. Look at the picture in my sig. They're more together than their supporters. Kerry supports Dean. Both are working to build the grassroots. I'd like to see both be cut a break.

But that's probably just me.
