What's with all the Clark bashing around here? |
|
I've seen less people go after Kerry when he told everyone to get over Selection 2000 and I've seen almost as many go after Lieberman because of his very conservative stances on many issues.
I don't care too much for either one and while I'm at it I don't like Gephardt as much either, but you know something, their names aren't mentioned very much anymore. Still, I happen to respect the efforts they''re making because it takes a lot of gumption to run. I still happen to respect all of them.
If Clark didn't raise all that money in a couple of weeks or if he didn't make such an impact so soon then you probably wouldn't give a damn about his military record or whether or not he wears shoes without socks.
And if you want to knock him over the head about his comments regarding the Bushes, you might as well save them for the elected democrats who not only called Bush their president but also said that they would stand behind him every step of the way in his war on terror that has effectively curtailed many of our fundamental civil liberties.
I will still argue that overall the democratic party has the finest group of people running in decades despite my own objections. I won't expect them to represent absolutely everything I stand for or want but I don't tell anyone that none of them shouldn't run for the nomination. If you want to turn around and say that no one should disparage them for that then you had better give Wesley Clark his due consideration for the same thing.
After all, he has every right to run for President, just like anyone else.
