Reply #17: Re: Judging by how long it took him to decide he was a Dem [View All]

dunno, maybe by inauguration day he might get around to it- besides you never know, that call from Rove might come through

Disproven hyperbole. For you to use this shows that you're not in the business of finding the truth, but discrediting Clark. Pathetic.

I think we're being a tad impatient. after all he only just figured out what he was a Dem this very month, so maybe we should give the guy a break :shrug: and understand that there were more pressing issues at hand such as fund-raisers for yet that "other" party, statements in front of the Senate outlining how to best go about getting our ducks in order to better pulverize Iraq, and heaping all that praise on the neo-cons.

Sheesh, you'd think we were talking about Democratic elections or something...

And to think I used to dislike Dean... Dean is looking better and better and better

You fail to see the big picture. It isnt about political parties, but about ideas and how to make them a reality, so while you insinuate that Clark is in favour of Neo-Conservativism despite his public record arguing against you, others will recognize that you're in the business of destroying rather than creating. Then again, alot of the wannabe puritans are such because they cannot face the reality of Politics so they hang on to hopes of Kucinich gaining more than 2% of the Dem vote or Dean becoming a progressive*.

*Im not knocking Kucinich or Dean supporters, just the absolutists.

"Two weeks later, a report in U.S. News and World Report said Arkansas Republican politicos were "pondering the future of Wesley Clark:" "Insiders say Clark, who is a consultant for Stephens Group in Little Rock, is preparing a political run as a Republican. Less clear: what office he'd campaign for. At a recent Republican fund-raiser, he heralded Ronald Reagan's Cold War actions and George Bush's foreign policy. He also talked glowingly of current President Bush's national security team. Absent from the praise list -- his former boss, ex-Commander in Chief Bill Clinton."

Clark told CNN's Judy Woodruff earlier this month that he had decided to register as a Democrat. Left unsaid and unknown at this point is exactly when and why he decided to become a Democrat.

You fail to mention with your selective quoting that Democrats were courting him as well for the governorship of Arkansas, and that he had attended Dem Fundraisers and even campaigned for Dems in the 2002 midterms. Then again, you're linear to the point that you cannot fathom saying something nice about people unless they hold your puritanical moral rigidity, which is a copout to thinking.
