I like several of the Democratic candidates....should I be ashamed?

[IndianaJones]

I see several attacks on this or that candidate every day. I prefer Clinton, but also like Obama and Edwards and would be happy to see either get the nomination. I would gladly support Gore as well if he enters. Is there something wrong with me? Should I hate everyone but Clinton?

1. Hate is a Republican value, you shouldn't hate anyone. nt

[Forkboy]

2. No

3. According to many here, you should be ashamed of supporting ANY of

those "corporate", "DLC" frontrunners. You should only like Kucinich, or Gravel--they're PURE.

7. There is no purity in politics, that is for sure...n/t

[TwilightGardener]

9. Yep, the "pure" ones are generally the ones who are the least skilled

at politics, and may have their own less-than-angelic motives and purposes.

4. Of course not

its good that you see good things in so many candidates-it will make it easier for you to back one of them if they win the nomination.

[Virginia Dare]

5. I'd say you're normal..

each candidate most likely will appeal to you on some level, and there will be things that perhaps you don't like so much about them as well, so you just have to pick the one that you feel is your overall best choice based on your personal priorities.

6. I like Edwards, Clinton, Gore, Kucinich....

I would prefer Edwards at this point, I think. But I'm sure the majority around here will gladly support whoever gets the nomination regardless of what is said now... It does get a little too harsh around here sometimes tho.

8. Nah, I think you'd have to fight a couple of posters

for top "I hate everyone but Clinton" billing, anyway. Support all of the folks you like as much as you like. Hate is poison. :hi:

10. same here

clinton, obama, etc.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

11. You, Sir, Are A Political Slut...

A strumpet, if you will.

I'm the same way. I like Edwards, but would have no problem supporting just about any of the other candidates, if that's who the party chooses.

[jgraz]

12. Sheesh -- it's not "hatred" to think someone would be a bad president

If that's the case, I "hate" just about everyone I know, including myself.

[rasputin1952]

13. Not at all...I don't like any of them, and I'm not ashamed...

:D

it's far too early for me to make a decision...things change, I'll wait and see what crops up...:)
