Reply #19: My god -- do candidates not have a right to their own personal opinions?

[gateley]

Must EVERY word they utter be run through the How Will It Play in Peoria filter? Frankly, that approach is what makes me so weary and leery of many of the politicians -- and candidates -- in our current crop. Why bother even listening if it will just be the party line?

The REAL message is he supports moveon's right to express themselves however they choose. He doesn't demand an apology like the R's would do. He understands the motivation of the ad and empathizes with it. He just didn't agree with the personal attack on Peterus's integrity, as he sees it.

The foregoing is all the RW noise machine will repeat

How about the DU noise machine? This shouldn't even be an issue here. Instead of focusing on his statement of support, they are focusing on the part of his statement with which they disagree.

Biden still has my vote. No more would I discount a leader in whom I believe for one -- or several -- statements with which I may disagree, than I would vote for Rudy Giuliani.

We're all the good guys, remember?
