Anonymous spam e-mails from "Daniel, Your Wesley Clark supporter" and the e-mail address Vote4WesClark@aol.com arrived in Tennessee mailboxes Sunday night. After extolling General Clark's virtues, the e-mail takes this turn:
Now, I realize that Clark has no political experience, and that may deter some people from voting for him. But the front-runner, Mass. Sen. John Kerry, has shown that experience doesn't matter, and he has 19-years of it.
-- Kerry voted for the resolution to go to war in Iraq; and then changed his mind.
-- Kerry voted for the No Child Left Behind Act; and then changed his mind.
-- Kerry voted for the US PATRIOT Act; and then changed his mind.
-- Kerry voted for giving the administration $87 billion for the war in Iraq; and then changed his mind.
-- Kerry also voted against the Defense of Marriage Act, which states that homosexual marriage is against the law; and then changed his mind.
Kerry can't seem to keep his mind still, and is that really the type of person we would want in office? I don't think so. Kerry also said that he won't be protecting the special interests and lobbyists. But the fact is that over the last 15 years, he has taken more special interest/lobbyist money than any other politician.
Facts are facts (I'm not a Kerry supporter, either), but the "can't keep his mind still" clause echoes of something darker than political expediency. Of course, you can't tell who Daniel is, who sent the spam, who paid for it, or why. That said, the Clark campaign in Tennessee has been sunny on TV and radio, and nothing but negative elsewhere.
Anyone else seen this or know its origin?
