Retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark may have violated federal election laws by discussing his presidential campaign during recent paid appearances, according to campaign finance experts. Clark, a newcomer to presidential politics, touted his candidacy during paid appearances at DePauw University in Indiana and other campuses after he entered the presidential race on Sept. 17.

Laws are different for Democrats. They campaign in black churches without danger to the tax exempt status of the church. They break campaign finance laws and when caught demand that the law be made stronger, as if the law were at fault rather than them.

IOW, the Democrats are now the Whites and the Republicans are the Blacks, in post-Civil War Reconstruction and beyond. Harry Truman, JFK and Bobby Kennedy be darned for not extending civil rights protections to us pubbies.

I don't really blame Truman and the Kennedy boys, but I am serious in my analogy.

"Could this be why his campaign manager just quit?"

Since I'm at work, and not really paying attention, it was said either on Glen Beck or Neal Boortz this morning that the campaign manager quit because Clark was being handled by the Clintons and their ideas and people.

That would be overridden by technology. Money moves faster than law enforcement. It's killing us on drugs, the war on terror and it would do us in here as well.

The fungibility of assets between M1 and M3 is virtual and nearly instantaneous. Doing the leg work to track all the shell games is not even close to that rapid.

Congressional Reform Briefings
December 22, 2000
On December 16, The New York Times and Washington Post reported that Senator-elect Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) had agreed to accept a gargantuan $8 million book advance from Simon & Schuster, a subsidiary of Viacom, the second largest media conglomerate in the world.

Hmmmm. I wonder what this was? What with campaign finance laws being what they are and all.

Considering that Clark only recently completed the registration to switch to the Demonrat party. Expect to see headlines that A PROMINENT REPUBLICAN has violated campaign funding laws. Now that he has had his relgious conversion to Rat, he could never be tainted by the lure of money...

...but I am serious in my analogy.

And the lesson to be learned from your analogy is ...?

[GretchenEE]

Okay, I'll use small words and type slowly.

It used to be in America that there was one set of rules / laws for black people and another for white people.

Things are getting more equal between how the races are treated.

Now, America puts republicans in the same box it used to put blacks, and democrats in the same place it used to put whites.

Thanks for typing slowly. However, I already understood what you said. My question is - What lesson are we to learn from that? If that is too hard, just skip the reply.

My question is - What lesson are we to learn from that?

It is an observation rather than a cry to arrange a battle plan. I am a little soldier with opinions.

I am a little soldier with opinions.

Having read your posts before, and perhaps we have had exchanges before, I can agree with half that statement - you do have opinions. :-)

I agree with your observation but was just rying to draw you out a little more.
