I understand. I'm not accusing anyone of anything.

Some politically naive people will believe Clark, despite the excellent post seamole posted which used Clark's own words to show Clark's policy is MORE liberal than Bush's.

Is it smart politics to say anything to get elected? I don't think so but time will tell.

That's kind of an ethical question. Practically, it seems to be smart, as it works to get into office...and the people's memory seems to be pretty short, so by the time you come up for reelection, the sheeple have forgotten about whatever it was you promised last time.

Look at Gov. Schwarzenegger. He ran on the illegal alien drivers' license issue. After just more than two months in office, he's already flip-flopping on it.

Just for the record, Peach, I think Clark is a dangerous nutcase who will say anything, and I would trust DEBKA before I trust Clark.

It's more of a desperation move. Demo primary voters are the hard core left. He's maybe hoping for some crossovers.

He isn't going to get the nomination and Kerry is going to ignore him. Kerry is out there lurching(excuse the pun) to the left even more.
