Reply #37: Thanks but the real class is among the Clark supporters [View All]

[Tinoire]

I noticed this out a while ago but didn't start pointing it out until this week and especially last night. When Clark supporters first got here (and trust me, the arrival- before your time- was as subtle as a herd of elephants) things were really rocky but you guys hung tough and didn't let yourselves be discouraged. The patience was amazing and the thoroughness with which certain people like Tamezsu, Bwaer(sp?), Dark Star and Volcano Jen answered private questions was something else. I really mean that about the class and feel quite bad that I didn't make my first public acknowledgement of that until last week.

Clark showed a lot of class too & it's unfortunate that he didn't have the all the necessary political accoutrements to make more of a dent and be given a fair shot. I would like to see him serve in the next (caveat- democratic) administration to see what he is about, how he would do. These are times of extreme mistrust and I hope a good man didn't get hurt during them.

It is funny you mention Kucinich supporters because despite what I thought was such a polarity in the candidates, the supporters had a lot in common. Same thing with Dean supporters who are only know beginning to see the writing on the floor. I think the only hope of the true grass-roots activists scattered throughout the three camps is to join together (but not us at the bottom- this needs to happen at the top) by forming some sort of an exploratory committee saying they are so committed to change that a Populist Congressman, a Centrist Governor and a General wanting peace are going to work together in a future administration as Position X, Y, Z. That I think may be our only choice to circumvent the establishment flouting the will of the people. What do you think? Was talking about this with one die-hard, friend, Clark supporter last night because we want the same thing- change.

Again and really though, the class is in the Clark camp. It's been clear for a while. Peace
