1. wow!!! you know what this means????

It means that we can call on George W. Bush to release his military records!!

Kerry needs to post his on his web site.

Then we can really put the pressure on. Yahoooo!

2. THAT is a good point! Can we get some Kerry folks to float this to Kerry?

9. I put it on the blog

Campaign staff are on there regularly, see if they pick it up. Great idea!

3. Wow.....

looks like the man did some work. Also looks like this could be a great commercial.....

contrast and compare...

sniff & scratch your fingers before you pull that lever vote.....who really cares about America and who really can make you feel like you haven't in 4 years?

..... The General will handle it, so you don't have to.

The guy with the fake flight suit and the bullhorn in his hand has got you down......

Don't fret....just relax, cause a real leader is on his way.

4. Imagine Bush........

on a stage with General Clark. Bush will look like the spoiled ignorant frat boy thta he is. General Clark will shine. :kick:

He has a damn impressive resume.

8. Quite the military profile...

No wonder the bushites are terrified.

Brains and guts, not a bad combination. Especially since the current occupant has neither.

Now, if he can bring the messages of the Dem/progressive platform together, he will have an easy time swamping the boat the GOP has put it's interests into.

10. all he needs to put on the site now is…

an issues section.

11. there's always somebody...

...ready to piss in the punch bowl.

n/t

13. an empty potshot

is what you provided, nothing more. his progressive instincts are very clear to those who don't revel in conspiracy mongering. he has announced a jobs plan, a campaign theme, and his health care, economic, and national security plans will be laid out over the next three weeks.

And I very eagerly anticipate comparing Clark's policy proposals on National Security with the good Doctor's.

14. how's it an empty potshot

military commendation are all well & good, but elections are about issues… not medals.

I am not a Clark-basher, just someone disappointed in the way Clark's campaign is being run.

for the record, Clark is my #2 behind Dean and I will be more than happy to support him, and volunteer for his campaign, should he get the nomination.

15. I think he's too specific minded to put up an issues section yet

I've thought about it. He's made himself pretty clear on where he stands on most issues in a general sense. Detailed plans take research and staff. I think he's not going to come out with what he'd do until he has something really planned out for a given area. Before he got in the race I looked at various other sites to find some specifics on issues I was concerned with and what I found was kind of vague in some cases at that point. A lot of those areas have been fleshed out considerably now, but this was maybe two or three months ago. Not a huge problem. It was plenty to give you an idea about where each person is coming from. What was clear was that in some cases they weren't prepared to state what they'd do about it. That was probably just realistic at that point. Anyone who remembers Clinton's non-honeymoon knows that it's not enough to say what you'd like to do. You've got to take a hard look about what you're going to be able to do, too. I just think that Clark is the kind of person that's not going to put stuff out there until it's been worked and reworked and is ready for primetime. For that, he needs staff, which he has now, but didn't have until he declared.
