John Kerry?

The superfiality and small mindness astounds!

It's not about the vote...cause that's just a lot of talking in the Senate and the House...where 1/2 of the time, nobody's listening anyway....and where it's all about a majority, and your vote may or may not count.

Just cause Kerry voted yes on the IWR, you think that helped him in the elections?

What matters is if you have walked the walk...not just talked the talk.

Clark has served our country for over 34 years.....and most of that time, he was making a bare $50,000 per year. He and his wife and child moved 31 times. He was wounded with 4 bullet holes in Vietnam....taught at West point.

Bottomline is that Clark has experienced being:
In a family with a single parent (Father died when he was 4 years old)
poor
product of scholarships and equal education opportunity
rank and file soldier
handicapped (those wounds were serious and Clark had to learn to walk again...and to shake hand again)
a husband
a father
a teacher/professor
middle class
rich
southern
internationalist
diplomat
negotiator
auto mechanic
Commander-in-chief
catholic
southern baptist
jewish
methodist
author
sportsman
enterpreneur
enviromentalist
a stateman
an election candidate (with the big boys)
a philotrophist - Heading Arkansas members City Year and other organizations
Presidential Medal award winner
a CNN commentator
and yes....a General

I'm sure that I'm leaving some out....

Point is Clark as done and been a lot of things. Since he's been there, and done that.....he can relate better than those who pontificate about everything...but have not experienced most of what many of us are.
