Reply #56: Hypocrisy in the Dean Camp

[saracat]

I cannot understand the double standards that are displayed by the Dean Camp.I am ABB but I find it interesting that Dean who has no tolerance for John Kerry's War vote finds it acceptable to take an endorsement from Tom Harkin who also voted for the War. By the same token Kerry is being endorsed by Ted Kennedy who opposed the war! And now Trippi is gone and replaced by the ultimate Washington insider Roy Neel! You cannot claim to status of outsider and surround yourself with the establishment staff and endorsements. A candidate must be consistent with his statements. The actions must match the deeds, and Gov. Dean's actions don't match his words.I am also appalled that any Dean supporter on this Board would express the thought ,that they would not vote for Kerry ,should he be the nominee. The Governor himself has expressed support for whomever the eventual nominee should be, even if it should not be himself. If the stated intent of the Dean Campaign, and all the campaigns, is to get rid of Bush then we should unite behind the nominee whomever they are. To effectively punish the entire country by sentencing us to another four years of Bush because of a personal resentment of any one of the candidates would make such a person a traitor to the cause of liberty ,and no better than the GOP, who vote only for their own advantage.Just my two cents worth of opinion!
