Reply #69: Yes, a shift from a "centrist" Democrat to a more left-wing Democrat

That was one issue on which he did have a huge change. However, overall he remained very similar on the multiple issues facing the nation since he was always a Democrat. Compare that to someone who was not a Democrat in 2001 reincarnating as a progressive Democrat on issue after issue all in a span of 2 years and just in time to run in the Democratic primary for president.

Of course not. I am just curious why Clarkies have chosen this weird line of attack given their guy's record. Criticizing Edwards on Iraq is far different from calling a guy who was a Democrat in 1998, a Democrat in 2001, a Democrat in 2004, and a Democrat today a phony opportunist when you would love to have Clark, whose story has a million more holes than Edwards, in the White House.

Simple question, what makes you believe Clark's shift from an independent to a Democrat in two years and just in time to run for prez as Democrat was sincere? I don't expect an answer for the same reasons Frenchie dodged this basic question. The same things could be said about Edwards, although there is less of a need to patch up holes in JE's case than there is in WC's case.
