LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- Sen. Joe Lieberman's Democratic presidential campaign attacked rival Wesley Clark on Saturday for using his contacts to make money after leaving government service. Lieberman campaign director Craig Smith said Clark is running for president on his status as a public servant but has not been telling voters about how he built wealth after leaving the Army as a four-star general in 1999. ``He's been a registered lobbyist longer than he's been a registered Democrat,'' Smith said in a conference call. Clark entered the race for the Democratic nomination in September and registered as a Democrat on Oct. 3. Clark earned less than $100,000 in 1999 but built his 2002 income to $1.6 million, according to the Democratic presidential candidate's tax records released Friday by his campaign. Clark's campaign put the former NATO commander's net worth between $3 million and $3.5 million. Spokesman Chris Lehane said Clark was a registered as a lobbyist for one company, Little Rock-based data firm Acxiom Corp., for which he said Clark received a $150,000 retainer.

In that case my arguments have two more legs than yours. On top of that you put words into my mouth. And you put words into mine. Example: You are the one that has said we need a big war, to stimulate the economy. I said no such thing. I pointed out that FDR ended the Depression by getting the US into WW2. "Laz" But remember we were a manufacturing nation then, and building a war machine did help a stagnant economy. No problem. We're an info nation now and soldiers have computers in backpacks. Hardly any. Slept through US History, did you? That was when the US became without question a world power and THE leader of the Free World. I can afford to buy my own ticket. Then kindly get the **** out of my country.
