Aside from the Iraq issue, what are your objections to Gephardt? You're right about my general agreement with Gephardt on trade issues. I'm not shy about saying that our communities are more important than corporate profits. Exporting America's manufacturing base, and now huge swaths of the high tech and service sectors just isn't sane national policy. Whenever the geniuses like Steve Moore at the Club for Growth are confronted on just what is going to replace all the American jobs that are being sent overseas, he has the dumbest expression on his face as he admits he doesn't know. That is pathetic. Beyond pathetic, it makes his quest pathological. That said, I believe Gephardt peaked as a viable candidate in 1988. I don't see a Nixon rising from the ashes in Gephardt's campaign. Last night's interview of Rep. Clyburn by Charlie Rose was indicative. Clyburn was touted as a kingmaker by Rose. I'd never even heard of him. Clyburn regurgitated the "my dad was milkman" story. What the hell kind of a serious endorsement is that? Pathetic. Gephardt hasn't got anything to run on, from what I can tell. Re: Gephardt has consistently been a hard core union Democrat. I forget exactly which Military-Industrial Complex contractor is in his distict. I recall it is Lockheed. Gephardt's union activism is far too tainted with militarism for my tastes.
