I kick myself for taking the bait.....


And it has nothing to do with you or your post....

I find the ideological rigidity on this board as disturbing as the ideological rigidity on the Freepers Board...

To me men and women of good will can disagree on just about everything and still be good people... Of course I can think of a few things like equal rights that a person of good conscience can't be on the wrong side of.

To answer your question Wes Clark

is pro choice

is pro affirmative action

is pro gay rights

is for an internationalist foreign policy which works through the U N and other multinational organizations

I think we can reasonably infer from his statememts that he falls well within the c-e-n-t-e-r l-e-f-t tradition of the Democratic party.

I think it would be fair to put him to the right of Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton, and Carol Mosely Braun and to the left of Joe Lieberman and right in the middle of the Democratic Party with John Edwards, Dick Gephardt, Howard Dean, and John Kerry. Any differences between those folks or with Wes Clark are more stylistic than substantive.

I did this post as a service to the truth and not to General Clark.
I will vote for the most liberal Democrat in the primary that I think has the best chance of beating *.
