I've just been informed that Gephardt voted to amend the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights to ban flag burning. And the thing almost passed!
So, you might want to mock me, say I can't decide on a candidate. Go ahead, have fun. But I feel that I have to take these steps on principle. Clark previously crossed some lines I couldn't stomach (see my diary further down), and now he and Gephardt both have irrevocably tainted themselves on this flag issue.
Anyone have links to something Dean said about the flag burning amendment back in '95? If he came out strongly against it, you might just win me over (er, back--that was the year I started liking Dean)! LOL But probably not--Kerry voted against the flag-burning amendment, too, and both he and Dean are bad on the PBA issue and on the $87 billion for Iraq, but at least Kerry voted for the war resolution.
I find myself with no real candidate, however. Time to cheerlessly pull the lever for Kerry (or maybe Dean--can't believe I'm saying that!), and leave it at that. sigh
