Here, we have a "Democratic" Candidate proclaiming

[Closer]

things like ...

"President George Bush had the courage and the vision... and we will always be grateful to President George Bush for that tremendous leadership and statesmanship."

and ...

"I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice... people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there."


And some of you still stick up for Clark, insisting he's our savior! And then bash DRUDGE for bringing it up!!!

HAHA, this is hilarious. What a joke some of you people are!

[VolcanoJen]

1. I'm pretty sure most Clark supporters were *thanking* Drudge...

... for bringing it up, actually.

That was my take, at any rate.

2. flame troll much?

:D

[liberalnurse]

17. Agreed.....

If the poster would only of reviewd today's threads, they would know this is a dead issue......

Got to be a flame.....So....

"WHO LET THE DOGS OUT ANWAYS?"

No need to break the positive DU momentum.... :bounce:

[Padraig18]

3. Flame bait

[rman]

37. truth

[imhotep]

4. what is sad

is Clark groupies agree with those statements.

[Julien Sorel]

5. No comment:

HAHA, this is hilarious. What a joke some of you people are!

6. Welcome to the Republican Loving Underground

:shrug:

[Pastiche423]

9. Yeah

I keep checking to see if I'm in the Democratic Underground.

[JohnKleeb]

11. yeah this confuses me too

Look Pastiche about earlier I dont like Kerry's support of IWR as much as you do but I have to be impartial and look at the truth which is while Kerry fucked up big time supporting IWR he is a liberal democrat with good positions on some issues. Not my candiate I just wanted to clear things up. I am as partisan as they get honestly but theres a part of me that tries to be fair too.

[JasonBerry]

19. I agree with both of you

It's VERY strange that it's a "blame the messenger" kind of thing. If Clark actually said those things (support for all of those Republicans) these people calling this post a "troll" are all accomplices in the HIJACKING of the Democratic party. They should read the rules: this discussion board is for PROGRESSIVES.

[Closer]

10. HAHA, Thanks Roughsatori

There is nothing "underground" and certainly nothing "democratic" about this place. This is a MODERATE REPUBLICAN board at best.

But I am thankful for those of you on here who do seem to be real democrats and genuine liberals... Though few you are.

[liberalnurse]

21. That's a good point....

New poster.....links Drudge?????

[Dr Fate]

7. Defeat Bush in 2004!!!

!!!!!!

[imax2268]

8. Flamer post...

[Closer]

15. No flamer post here

How can I flame using CLARK'S OWN WORDS?!?!

Oh right, we ARE talking about Clark. I guess that makes it easy.

[IranianDemocrat]

12. Stupid trolls.

.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

31. *cough*

[GeronimoSkull]

13. Suckers for Clark

"I like these people a lot."

[Bertrand]

14. Calm Down

He was a non-partisan civilian who gave diplomatic praise to the current civilian govt. Big Deal. He voted for Clinton Twice and Gore so it's not as if he was praising the guy he voted for.

[Cocoa]

16. you should give links

so we know thw quotes are real, plus even if they are, context helps.

[gulliver]

18. Yes, and I've heard Dems in Congress refer to ...

... their "friends across the aisle" one too many times too. Why are they calling them "friends?"

Suspicious, I think.

</sarcasm>

[dfong63]

24. what's the matter, Clark couldn't find any democrats to praise?

nothing good to say about FDR, JFK, Carter, et al? if Clark admires the repubs so much, then why the fuck doesn't he run as a fucking repub?

[GeronimoSkull]

27. Hey, give Clark a break

He was speaking at a GOP fundraiser after all.

[Bertrand]

20. All people from now on

must refer to those that disagree with their political views as evil cocksuckers. You have to call them cocksuckers.

[Julien Sorel]

23. I disagree.

'Servants of the anti-Christ' is the proper term. All Republicans are evil; anyone who is not with us is with the Republicans, and therefore, Servants of the anti-Christ.

That this is the mirror image of Rushdom should be ignored by everyone.

[blondeatlast]

29. Excellent post, BB.

Way too much of this sugar lately. Way too much.

[Democat]

22. The joke will be on you when you help get Bush elected in 2004

Too bad you're trying to take the rest of America down with you.

[Dr Fate]

25. Some anti-DEMS WANT Bush to be elected...

...in order to "teach us a lesson" for "pandering" DEM, moderate and centrist voters on certain issues...

...I find my self very unimpressed these days, with the greens and "benevolent gadflies" of DU who think they are doing me a favor...

[Q]

30. Well..it's obvious people are wasting their time...

...trying to teach YOU a lesson.

- Perhaps some have a different perspective on things? Why should any 'loyal' Dem sit back and watch his party taken over by those who would feel just as comfortable in the Republican party?

- The 'centrists' are going to compromise our party to death.

[JohnKleeb]

33. I know what you mean Q

I am still very much a dem for everyone's information and I will support the eventual dem nominee. but I do think we gotta be left, this run to the center stuff just alienates me. Wellstone once said politics is about doing well for people, explains the Kucinich avatar doesnt it :). BTW the full quote is in Franken's new book on 205 I think.

[Atlant]

39. You say that like it's still in the future.

> The 'centrists' are going to compromise our party to death.

You say that like it's still in the future.

[JVS]

32. That's ridiculous

[Terwilliger]

26. Along the lines of...

MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn to the man you’d like to unseat if you become the Democratic nominee, and that’s George Bush. You’d spoke to Vogue magazine in March, and said this. “Kerry is unguarded in his comments about the man whose job he is currently after. He says his colleagues are appalled at the president’s ‘lack of knowledge’... And...he says, ‘They have managed him the same way they managed
Ronald Reagan. They send him out to the press for one event a day, they put him in a brown jacket and jeans and get him to move some hay or drive a truck, and all of a sudden he’s the Marlboro Man. I know this guy. He was two years behind me at Yale, and I knew him, and he’s still the same guy.’”
What does that mean?

SEN. KERRY: I believe that President Bush is a very likable fellow, and I respect—I think he’s a good man who wants to do good things.

=========>

Anybody care to disagree with Mr. Kerry?

[JVS]

28. Electability buffs beware: This could be damning in a general election.

[xray s]

34. You have a point to ponder

No doubt, if Clark is the nominee, we will be seeing a lot of Bush commercials featuring Clark and all those nice things he said about Bush and his administration.

That gives them a natural "negative" attack strategy, without any fingerprints but Clark's.

Clark has to explain why he has changed his mind. In doing so, he may connect with a hell of a lot of voters. Don't forget, Bush was at 85% at one point, and now he is down in the high 40's. So millions have made the same U-turn on Bush that Clark has. Millions are rethinking their political beliefs. Maybe enough to actually realign the American political landscape.

That's my 2 cents, from a proud 15%er, still undecided.

[Sterling]

36. I thik it is damning in the primary

Why anyone who actually opposes Bush's policies would vote for a man who said this about Shrub is beyond comprehension.

[Composed Thinker]

35. When did Clark say that?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. Al Sharpton Welcomed Wes Clark To The Party....

Al

or

Wonder Woman


That's not even close......

My mom was a Stevenson delegate in 52. She walked precints for JFK in 1960. She took me to the front of a rope line in 1964 when I was six years old to shake RFK's hand... I was a Kennedy delegate in 1980. An autographed picture of RFK sits on my dresser drawers. An autographed picture of Bill Clinton thanking me for my work for the Democratic party sits next to an autographed picture of Muhammad Ali
in my study... I am Democratic to my marrow... And then some clown comes here and calls my friends "Moderate Republicans" and dupes for supporting a particular candidate...
