Yes, Clark could beat Bush...and yes, he is a Truman style Democrat who, with the help of a good Democratic Team, could save this nations ass. Heck, he might even govern free from Ken Starr.

But the fear of Clark goes way beyond a simple election; a Clark win changes the political landscape. We have watched for30 years while working class Southerners voted against their own self-interest. Since Vietnam, we have seen the lock, or the perception of a lock, the repubs have on the military. Then the GOP claimed Jeeezus for their own, followed by this year's claim of American patriotism.

This is extremely dangerous and is threatening the very foundations of Democracy.

Clark changes everything.....repeat....Clark changes everything.

When politically naive posters rant about how they do not want the middle-class southern or military votes in their purists ballot box, I am sent into shock. On many issues the liberal and conservative labels hide common positions that are held by the American people as a whole: eliminating the power of special interests, honest government, better health care, job security, fairness, ..................Yes_we have differences, but we share many common goals. We are deliberately kept divided...the easier to control you my dear.

The saddest part for me is watching the Limbaugh-liberals attack day after day based on the same debunked lies. Today I read a post in which a DUer reports with glee that their father had called and repeated one of the Clark lies. She of course failed to correct him, because she supports some else.
