Reply #81: quit trying to pin the word embarass..... [View All]

on Clark. I don't think he is embarassed about anything.
Why would anyone be embarassed about being a democrat?

You using that word is giving into the Republicans and
their brainwashing. They made liberal a bad word and you
are helping them make Democrat a bad word every time you
associate it with embarassment.

Clark is playing it smart, pure and simple. WE have to
win the center and Clark is left of center. But if goes
on and on preaching about it, he will be stigmatized by
the right as a partisan politician (even though they are
the worst form of partisan politicians imaginable).

With grace and composure, Clark can comfortably come to be an American candidate for all of us via the Democratic nomination --
meaning, the parties exist to serve the people and the country,
not the other way around.

We should stop making this Orwellian slip of "four legs
good, two legs bad" all the time. It is an example of a
true decline in our democracy. It makes us no better
than the Right if we keep on with this hyper-partisanship.
