Well, I'm convinced: "Wes Clark: Unfit To Be President"
The right-wing attack machine is out in full force, and this time, they've taken me along for the ride! I'm convinced that Clark is evil! Thanks, Bush-lovers and anti-military leftists--this article is the best yet, detailing all of Clark's misdeeds and personality flaws.

1. I expected this
and I assume Clark knew what he would face. It'll be interesting to see how he handles everything.

2. leftists aren't anti-military
I have no problem with a career military person in high office - sure, I'd prefer an enlisted man, but as long as they are Democratic and progressive and populist I'm fine with it.

6. I have no problem with a high ranking U.S. military person as pres, either
Note, my opinion is that Dean is easily the most competent individual running for President in this race.

that "anti-war" and "anti-military" are not one in the same.

22. Funny
As a spoof, I should post a bogus link in the Lounge and makes exaggerated pre and post comments about the contents of the link and see how many people respond to the comments instead of actually looking at the link.

(But not right now - I'm busy!)

7. It's a spoof. I'm no Clark supporter, but come on.
Even more food-related complaints about Mr. Clark have found their way into the public arena.

We saw him at Taco Bell three weeks ago. What is a wealthy retired General and businessman doing eating low-quality Mexico food? He=s obviously pandering to the Mexicans and the rest of the Democrat fanbase. And the fact that he accepts such low-quality food shows that he=ll resort to low-quality national defense, a low-quality military, low-quality healthcare, and low-quality jobs for American people. You can bet that welfare for illegal Mexican immigrants will increase two-thousand-fold under Clark@, mused a non-Mexican businesswoman from California.

Others offer an even darker picture of the possible President.

AAbout three years ago I was in Washington with my family, and I saw the General prancing down the street with some men in business suits. I recognized Clark from the television, so I waited until our eyes met, when I waved at him to say hello. Of course, this so-called great, great man turned to one of the a--holes beside him and said something derogatory about my half-black child. Either that, or he was taking a good-spirited jab at my clown suit. But he=s still an a--hole nonetheless@, offered a clown-costume salesman from Virginia.

I admit I was taken for a ride, too, but this has opened MY eyes.

How could we ever have a President who orders THAT at a steakhouse?

The shame of it all. We could never face the world. What's left of it after this man destroys it.

I'm changing my vote.

(the poll was neat, too)

10. That page is kinda f'ed up
And I'm not talking about the comments it makes. They, of course, are just plain silly.

The problem I would have would be voting for anyone who voted for Nixon or Reagan. That doesn't sound like any kind of Democrat to me. Doesn't matter, I believe he's already peaked...

23. My favorite part
"Wes and his wife used to have sex a lot. He used to throw some comments about sex with his wife, into our personal communications. He had a lot of condoms in his bedroom. He and his wife made a baby, proving they had sex. They have a son. They didn't adopt him, they had sex. They don't just have sex, they have a lot of sex", described this obviously alarmed former Clark pal.

He continued: "How is this man supposed to lead the country, when he's having sex with his wife all the time?".

40. Let's not broad brush liberals here
Not all lefties hate the military. That is an old conservative myth that drives me nuts! While I will admit, there are some far far far left extremists who definatly do (I call them the Limbaugh liberals), that is not the case for populist democrats, progressives and solid liberals (the three of which account for 95% of the left wing). Being "tough on defnse" and "stupid about defense" are two very different things, that really needs to be cleared up. By the way, what's the deal with that article. I'm assuming it was some sort of joke.

44. I didnt say all leftists hated the military.
I meant military-hating leftists, meaning just that--leftists that dislike the military, which make up a large proportion of Dems that don't like Clark. Of course not all lefties are anti-military, and I'm sorry that my words gave people a different impression.

..its my belief that the only people against Clark right now are these "military-hating leftists" who are afraid to see a General as President, as well as the Bush-loving right.

Apparently you werent here when I had my old sig.
"honor the fallen" that was part of it
I am iffy on Clark, I dont care to discuss why because I dont wanna get flamed. BTW look at my personal library and my respect for veterans then tell me this far left winger is anti military, one of my heroes is Sgt Mike Strank one of the Iwo Jima flagraisers and a relative. I really respect McGovern because of what he did as a pilot and just as much as a politican. I am sorry I am far from anti military. I just dont feel right on Clark.

47. Bwahahaha!!
AI was serving Mr. Clark back when I worked at the steak place on 52nd. We offered tens of delectable steak dishes, and we specialized in beef, plain and simple. We made it clear, from our ads, to our name, to our menu, that we were steak specialists. And what did Mr. Clark order when he came in? A fish plate, of course. This is not the decision-making process of a future President@, commented an obviously distraught female former employee of a steakhouse in New York.

Even more food-related complaints about Mr. Clark have found their way into the public arena.

This was very cute.
