Things are heating up on the Clark Blog.....
Dear Mr Kerry

I had sworn to myself I'd never vote you for anything after your refusal to join the Florida 14 in denouncing the Florida electoral votes (Jan 6, 2001) and then insulting me by saying "No one asked". I did.

You topped that with your vote for war (the Kennedy or Byrd resolutions were not good enough for you?)

On St Patrick's Day you quipped: I may not be Irish, but at least I am not French". Lovely.

You followed this with yet another scornful message to those "who cry in their tea cups over the stolen election" So, if democracy twarting is so meaningless to you, who appointed you the gate keeper of the democratic party? How dare you question Wesley Clark's credentials?

I am sick and tired of Mayflower democrats like you and Dean who think the membership in the party is some kind of birthright. (I advise you to take a look at James Trafficant and Zell Miller before you puff up too much with your titles)

I am a former independent, drawn to the democratic party by anger over the stolen election (tea cup cryer to you). It's attitudes like yours that maybe driving me back out, to independent status.

P.S. Is marrying a republican a mortal sin or a misdemeanor for Mayflower Democrats like you?

Kindly take me off your mailing list - as a former independent, I am not worthy..

1. That's an AMAZING post!! And it's so true, too!!
Damn he hit Kerry right where it hurt, the TRUTH.

This outlines several of the main reasons why I refuse to ever vote for Kerry.

3. So true--about Kerry
What bothers you about Dean being a 'Mayflower Democrat'? The guy has been supportive of Democratic principles much longer than your dude. Is that a touchy subject?

4. I didn't post it, it's from an independent on the Clark blog....
I really don't know why the guy thinks Dean is a Mayflower Democrat...
he was a governor and had no opportunity to vote in Congress on issues that really mattered over the past three years, i.e. like the Iraq War?

He's probably ranting and throwing Dean into the mix with Kerry because they are both from New England....wonder why he left Lieberman out?

5. All of those statements
have an air of arrogance, don't they? I CANNOT believe he made that snide comment about the French. I'm still crying in my tea cup over the Florida debacle, so F*** You Kerry. That is not NORMAL...to NOT be furious over what happened in Florida. I'm still pissed as hell and will be until the chimp is gone.

I wonder if he has told his wife that she can't vote for him because she's a republican? She's "soiled." :puke:

That's an excellent blog post. Thanks for posting it here.

Go Wes!

7. About the photo
I'm trying to figure out what it's supposed to portray -- piety? Sainthood? It's quite beautiful, of course, but seems a bit incongruous for someone running for high political office.

Can you shed any light on it (no pun intended)?

A.
