Clark supporters here scare me - the economy and militarism [View All]

Clark is of course, the late-comer to some degree in the election - we had a look at all the candidates and then he announced his candidacy.

Previously, the Democrat I liked least was Lieberman because he ran the DLC and seemed the most right-wing of the candidates. Clark came in as an unknown. However, from reading what he says about the economy and foreign policy, considering his Republican background, and especially seeing the opinions of a lot of his supporters here, he is turning me off in a big way as well.

The two big issues for me are militarism and the economy. None of the Democratic candidates is that great - I suppose Kucinich is, but aside from the unelectable canard, I don't think he's very good at expressing his views (relative to people like Dean, Sharpton, or in a more toned down manner, Gephardt). The economy is more important to me personally, as it effects me. But I am also concerned about militarism - I think the directors who want to send American soldiers overseas with guns, bombs, artillery etc. are sending them overseas to do evil (not just in the Middle East but in South America etc.) As a conscientious person, if I had to choose between a candidate who would rein all off this back, or fix the economy (which only a Democrat/Green could do for workers), I might choose the one against foreign interventions of force, just because I would feel conscientiously that all of the garbage and evil of the USA should be contained within it's borders and should not violently intrude on other lands. But of course, someone who would make the economy more worker-friendly would be good as well. Clark and especially his DU supporters, seem to fail on both counts.
