Why doesn't Clark just lie? |
|
It seems that Clark is getting a great deal of beef for having admited that he voted for Nixon, Reagan, and Bush Sr. before 1989. It seems to me he could have just said he voted for McGovern, Mondale, and Dukakis and nobody would know the better. I don't think anyone is very forgiving in DU about his honesty. Maybe this why we get a bunch of liars for political office.
I don't see anyone getting on the 40 Senators that approved Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, and Wolfy for their offices. It seems to me they all flip floped. How can anyone that voted FOR them be actually AGAINST them? Not to mention 90% of people supported W in September 2001. Now only 48% of people supported him. That is like 125 million Americans that flip flopped!!! Surely we don't want them in the Democratic Party either. NO WAY!!!
Furthermore, how do we know that Dean, Lieberman, Kerry, Kucinich, Graham, Edwards, and the others didn't ever vote Republican? Clearly they must have voted Republican at some point in their lives. Especially ones that are moderate and/or grew up Republican. Appeartly lying and/or covering up your support for ANY Republican at any time is better and what we really want in our Democratic candidates.
Therefore, why doesn't Clark just lie and cover it up to be considered better in the eyes of many Democrats? He cannot be stupid having been first in his class at West Point and having three advanced degrees from Oxford.
