Reply #22: um, no thanks, I'll stay with Dean

[ima_sinnic]

at least I know where his loyalties are and he's not playing any cute little head-games about whether he'll run and with which party. While Clark's been waffling and being noncomittal, SOME people have been brave and stuck their necks out and paved the way for him. Noncomittalness is NOT a leadership quality! A lot of people "look good" on talk shows; that doesn't mean they should be president. Dean is consistently first, not only with criticisms of Bush but also with innovative ideas for really bringing the people together and for dealing with some of the issues. I resent Clark for letting Dean and the others mobilize the people and make it safe for him to run. He's never held a public office. He has dubious ties to Acxiom Corp. and appears to actually have twisted his political influence to favor that company, which is profitable for him. I want someone with no ties to corporate interests or to scurrilous BFEE enterprises, which rules out Kerry, also.
