^5. Lieberman is a Republican. He does not represent the majority of Demos I know. I don't understand Demos, who are basically Republicans.
The issue of consistency. When, I spoke of supporting the Democratic platform, I was not necessarily speaking of consistency. I feel that there is nothing wrong with changing your mind on an issue. Throughout your life, you encounter new things. Hopefully, you learn and grow from your experiences. So, I actually, admire a candidate that changes his position on an issue (provided a reasonable explanation is given and it's not mere posturing).
Regarding Clark..after reading Michael Moore's endorsement of him, I view him in a different light. He is an ideal democratic candidate to defeat Bush. However, I cannot support him because I distrust his reasons for joining the Democratic Party. It appears that he has a personal vendetta against the Bush family.
