Reply #73: Odd that he ran as a Democrat my ass

[Tom Rinaldo]

He had just worked very closely with Clinton/Gore for 8 years implementing their strategic military policies. He had been raked over the coals by many Republicans for carrying Clinton's water in the Balkans, because unlike when a Republican is in office, Republicans love to attack the Commander in Chief during a time of war. Clark had always been socially liberal. We know he voted for Clinton Clinton Gore in the three elections before he ran. We know he asked to vote as a Democrat to vote in a Texas, primary years before. Yeah big fucking Odd surprise that Clark chose to run as a Democrat in 2004.

If I sound angry I am, but I'm angry at the type of crap hit pieces at Clark that keep getting circulated through Democratic sites. I can take that piece on paragraph for paragraph but I would rather not give it the time of day and it only makes my blood pressure rise. You know Clark voted against George McGovern in 1972 but McGovern endorsed Clark for President in 2004. Clark voted against Jimmy Carter in 1980 but Jimmy Carter was one of the leading Democrats who personally called Clark unsolicited in the summer of 2003 and encouraged Clark to run for President. Doesn't that say something about the type of Democrat Clark is?

Folks, please read the thread, "The Swiftboating of Clark has started"
