5. How's about a no thinker.
Edited on Wed Oct-01-03 06:42 PM by dd123
If you are being hit for being a johnny come lately to the Democratic party, shouldn't you try to counter that by at least registering as a Democrat?

Utter incompetence by Gen. Clark and his staff.

In addition, he is still registered as a lobbyist. He had to duck out of questioning on that one.

WES STILL A LOBBYIST

By BRIAN BLOMQUIST and VINCENT MORRIS Post Correspondents

October 1, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Democratic front-runner Wesley Clark joined the campaign two weeks ago, but he remains a registered Washington lobbyist, The Post has learned.

Clark's continuing registration as a hired gun for Acxiom, a Little Rock information-storage firm that hired him for $150,000 per year, was ripped by one good-government expert who said it "doesn't smell particularly good."

Asked by a Post reporter why he's still a registered lobbyist, Clark responded, "Uh" and then ducked the question on his way into a meeting on Capitol Hill with congressional supporters.

"I can't think of anybody else who was registered as a federal lobbyist at the time when he declared for the presidency," said Bill Allison, a spokesman for the Center for Public Integrity.
