I'd like to apologise to all the nice Clark supporters that I may have...
...inadvertantly insulted in GD.

Believe it or not, I actually like the guy...I shouldn't have let a (tiny) few of his more "Enthusiastic/Combative" DU supporters get me to make such a general (Or easily percieved "Generalisation") sweeping statement that could be seen as a condemnation of ALL Clark fans.

So anyway, you have my most sincere apology:-)

3. Thanks! I figured that I didn't have to qualify myself.
But apparently I should have.

Then again I was taking a quick break from a RIDICULOUSLY busy day at work...I can be careless at times.

8. JanMichael....
Anyone who has been around for more than a few weeks knows you're a standup guy. I'll admit, I was surprised by some of your comments yesterday, but I kind of thought that you were provoked. Some of my fellow Clark supporters irritate the shit out of me and embarrass the candidate. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to make people behave like adults.

Just know that for every loud mouth, rude prick claiming to support Clark, there are dozens of decent, reasonable Democrats who see him as the best chance of getting rid of Bush.

Finally, I believe, if you compare-poster by poster-there are just as many Dean and Kucinich supporters who are irritating pricks who bash Clark with no provocation. PM me and I'll give you a list of the 10-15 or so worst offenders and I doubt you'll disagree with any. Mindless, by the numbers destruction of our candidates is an ugly thing to watch.

Many of us in the Clark camp, join with the MAJORITY in the Dean/Kerry/Kucinich camps in understanding that our goal is destroying Bush, not each other. Unfortunately, there is a small group of purists who will never be satisfied with any candidate who is electable and their loud mouths and rude interruptions tend to dominate every conversation. Like children, with no adult supervision, they are obnoxious and painfully irritating. Maybe after we've settled on a nominee, they'll shut up or be kicked out. I can hardly wait.
