. . .I do not see this as reason not to support Dean. I asked the question because the whole primary process has really challenged me. Its so easy to stake out a position when there are clear lines: left vs. right; Democrat vs. Republican; etc.

I have noticed that there are certain standards that we use to criticize Bush/Republicans/the right, but when we are fighting amongst ourselves those standards disappear.

I don't support Clark's position on flag burning and I disagree with some of his positions on Vieces (sp), but there are other Clark supporters who ignore that.

There are a number Dean supporters who defended the Confederate flag (not just Dean's statements) and there are other positions that people have flip flopped on. So I hope that in our rush to support our candidates we do not abandon our values. This is no reason to abandon Dean, but it should be condemned.
