Why not support all of the candidates?

I am new here so I am confused by all the hostility against other candidates on this board. Why can't we just support all the candidates? When someone attacks another candidate that is a Democrat, are they not helping Bush and his administration? I think they are doing that. I am not saying we can't ask questions about the other candidates. I think it is important to do that because we have to make up our mind about who to vote for in the primary election, however we should not be giving ammo to Bush and his election team to use against our candidate in the general election. Even if a candidate does not make the nomination do we want them to lose re-election to the Senate or House or be prevented from doing so in the future because we dragged them through the mud? I would hope not.

I think if someone attacks another candidate we should ask them to stop. I am against censurship, but everytime a person attacks another Democrat we should remind them that the race is between us and Bush.

I also find the reactionary posts to prior attack posts just as unproductive as the original attacking post. It is opening a wound and dumping salt in it.

So I would like to ask everyone to do what my mother use to say, "If you can't say anything nice than don't say anything at all."

So I support all the candidates for President. I support Dean, Kerry, Lieberman, Kucinich, Edwards, Graham, Gephardt, Sharpton, Mosley-Braun, and Clark if he enters.

I am a Democrat, and I will support all of the Democrats. Each one of them is ten times better than the President we got now.

can not tell the difference between him and * on any issue. :(

Joe Lieberman may be more conservative than the other candidates but he would be an improvement over the current administration. Lieberman is pro-choice and favors civil unions. He is also against oil drilling in protected lands.

Mike

VP.

Graham has never lost in Florida.
