Clark stumps for Democrats in western Kentucky

PADUCAH, Ky. - Gen. Wesley Clark, a highly-decorated veteran, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander and former Democratic presidential candidate, brought his “Kentucky Candidate Tour” to Paducah Monday afternoon. Clark was stumping throughout the Commonwealth for House and Senate candidates while spreading his message that the Democratic grassroots organizations can change the face of America.

Clark said he was “fed up with phony patriots” - ones who didn't serve their country but “wear an American flag on their lapels then vote against the kind of leadership and support that is needed for the men and women in uniform.”

Clark said America has a big problem in foreign affairs and a problem here at home. “We've got an economy where the numbers look great. But the jobs are not so great. We are losing a lot of jobs in America and we are losing a lot of well-paying jobs.”

He said people ask him why he is a Democrat and he tells them, “Because when I was in the Armed Forces I learned that it's not enough to issue orders and turn your back. To get the mission done you have got to take care of the troops. Those are the two responsibilities of any commander - and helping every man and woman and their families to be all they can be.”

He said when he returned to America he discovered one party talked about helping people and climbing the ladder of success. But what they liked to do was climb up the ladder and then pull it up after them and strand the rest of the people behind.

“What I learned in the military was a principle leadership in life - it was a natural thing to be a Democrat. Because our party lifts people up and believes in people. We pull people together and we help every American be all he or she can be.”
