It just doesn't make sense that the same conservatives who scream "bring 'em on," about Howard Dean would get their buddies at the Club for Growth to run the "Freakshow" ad before the Iowa Caucus.
If they are so intent on whupin' up on Dean and Dems in a 48 state route, wouldn't they be attacking someone else to clear the path for the Governor? Maybe attacking Gephardt who also wants to roll back the Bush tax would make more sense?
Or one would think that at the least, saving their cash for a bigger ad buy once the Dem is nominated, would be a better strategy. Indeed, very little about the timing of this ad makes sense.
That is until rumors started circulating about the Club for Growth and Gen. Wesley Clark.
Here's the evidence so far:
Wesley Clark worked for the Stephens Group in Little Rock, AR, as an investment banker after his military career and prior to his newfound political career.
According to the Center for Public Integrity report the Stephens Group gave a whopping $443,500 to the Club for Growth.
Now, I'm not sitting on a secret audiotape, or documents leaked from within the Clark or CFG camps, but just on its face this is seems to me to be some damning evidence. This makes me much more nervous about the man and that yes indeed, Clark is a carpetbagger, an elephant in a donkey jacket, Bush Lite or whatever you want to call it.
Clarkies, prove me wrong...The General may be our nominee and right now I'm not very comfortable with his pedigree or his year-old change in party.
