8. Dean's complexity mystifies and angers statist myopes

I had a good friend of mine, a hardcore Marxist, asking me why in the hell I would support Dean. I explained it to him, issue by issue, but this pal o mine was just flummoxed by the "mix" of issues and the fact that I supported Dean on one thing but opposed him on another.

This typifies alot of the resentment I've seen toward Dean on DU. Some hate the guy based on one or two issues. Oh, that life were that simple. I use a pragmatic equation for my support of anyone and it's elementary - do their positives outweigh the negatives? In Dean's case, they do.
