And we all know Westley Clark doesn't have an agenda

Seriously, do we have to support our troops by electing them to office even if their ideas aren't sound? What do we do when more than one vet is running, base our vote purely on their military record?

No, but they shouldn't necessarily have to have a lengthy politcal record either. If you like what the candidate stands for and they have a plan to accomplish their goals, then vote for them. It's that simple and it's all that really counts.
