Reply #21: Crew! I'm thinking of switching my support from Kerry to the General... [View All]

Because I love the message that the General is putting out and it does not bother me that he has been a 'registered' Democrat for such a short time.

The difficulty for me is that I am a Viet Nam veteran and I supported John Kerry way back when he started the Viet Vets Against the War. I always thought of Kerry as an idealistic, honest American. I still believe he is all those things.

However, my dilemma lies in the fact that I think Wes Clark has the best message to unite this country and to rebuild the Democratic Party in the South and other places in this country that have surrendered to the Repubs. Wes Clark has a very liberal message in total and is not afraid to speak up and defend his positions - unlike many of the folks that have been programmed to believe that they can never speak their liberal beliefs or else they will be destroyed by the media and the Repubs. Will Kerry be able to defend himself from the "Massachusetts Liberal" label? Will he do it convincingly and forcefully? I think General Clark has already done that.

So that is the dilemma that this Democrat faces...
