Reply #72: Right on!

I can barely take seriously these absurd "concerns" that Clark is a Repug, or "ashamed" Dem, or indie, or confused. Next there will be a "theory" that he is a "stealth Green".

Plant, water and grow a clue!

Some of the apoplexy above over this sounds very similar to the Huffing Ham last night. Both amount to unrestrained screaming of "TELL US! TELL US! TELL US NOW!". Whaaaaa? Or else we won't be your friend?

I know where His Hammitiness' yelling is coming from. Its a current pug point used whenever possible against any criticism of aWol: "Oh, you're just partisan. You're only saying X about ______ (IraqNam, economy, deficit...) because you're trying to get elected. You're just playing to the extreme left of the Democrat Party to get the nomination. You're dismissable."

The chimp used it last week between brush cutting and golf ball slicing. Something about, Aw, that's just politics, just guys running for office, you know they'll say anything. Shucks, just dismiss 'em. (Press presses playback on handheld recorder, presses to ear, mills around mumbling "dems are about politics", "dems just seeking office", "dems dismissable"...Flash: "pay no attention to those politikin' dems over there". Wow, look at that drive.)

The Puffed Ham knew Clark would not announce anything on his slimey show. He is pissed that he can't hammer Clark as a dem, so he tried to get mileage by poking him for not declaring demness. And my man was getting the Ham pretty upset as it went along, because it was working out poorly for the planned prosecutorial cross-exam.

Don't think Clark doesn't have the coordinates already dialed in for all the possible positions on this affiliation declaration item. At the close of his appearance, note the mortar rounds stepping in closer and closer to Hambone and his implication that dems are evil. It zeros on Hambone, cornered and eyes down, reluctantly sorta admitting that he believes in the two party system! Much more RW backtracking like that and he will have miles of ideological recovery to go.

Clark's tease "ploy" is increasing his face-time on the toob, where he gets to hammer the Hammer (sweet!)and the chimp; and its probably increasing interest in his candidacy among some I's, mod R's, and otherwise nonvoters. We NEED VOTES to oust the usurper! His dem primary votes/dem affiliations are inside baseball, interesting to us, but not to most voters, yet.

I honestly think Clark has gotten at least some R's and I's thinking about: wise use of military force; fiscal accountability; foreign policy that's better for our national security, etc. Things that they can wind up moving to Clark on, away from the increasingly stained disaster area in the WH. When Clark keeps focusing on the issues, not the process, these people may be attracted to what they thought were "Republican" values, but are really simply good American values. We must reclaim that turf, which they have sullied. We may need these folks for the presidency, and we surely need them in order to take the House and Senate. We need those majorities, too, because we're going to have a lot of undoing to do.
