It can't be both can it? Actually it could be true. Clark would be a liberal Republican if it wasn't for two factions in the Republican party - the religious right-wingers, and the Bush gang. I'm sure as a member of the officer corp he'd be happier as a Rockefeller Republican.

And the actual DLC/DNC could be so desperate that they would take a Rockefeller Republican just so they can have a general say "I'm proud to be a Democrat" in public. When Clinton beat Bush, and a working class redneck from Arkansas took the White House from the Bush wannabe royalty, Bush used their moles in the military to trash Clinton, and turn the enlisted guys and white males in general against the Democrats. Clark may be our only hope to fix that.

Let's not fool ourselves about the state of our country. If liberals, progressive populists, social libertarians, and athiests and other non-Christians don't have the military on our side, this fiction of self-government won't last too much longer.
