4. And I voted for Clark
...but was very disappointed to see that my first choice, DINO Joe Lieberman, wasn't included among the possible responses.

2. I just voted Dean off the island
Looks like Dean is "winning" in this poll - most people voted to kick him off :)

5. Desperation? Kos should be praising Clark.......and so should
Dean about Clark stand against Bush on 9/11 ..

But nnnnnnooooooo! What's important to Kos and Deanies is getting Dean nominated......at any cost....cannot afford praises for any other....must be the confidence factor that marks the difference!

HERE'S WES CLARK'S APPROACH TO HIS DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION.......
General Clark is a brilliant strategist. The final goal is to remove Bush/Cheney from the Oval office. Four more years of this administration will be very harmful to the US. There's no need for me to explain why, we all know the reasons.

When General Clark plans a *war* he plans 2 parallel tracks ...so if
there is a fork in the road he has a plan for either choice.

Way back in the early summer, Wes Jr. posted to Kos's site. "His
father knows he can beat Bush in the general election, but wasn't
sure if he could win the Dem nomination.


There are a few reasons why the General will not "beat up" on his
fellow Dems
, but the most important one is that they are all on the same "team". Why do the GOP's work for them and try to destroy a fellow democrat who *may* go on to win the nomination, when the end goal is to remove Bush from office.(Joe Lieberman does not understand this, but then Joe's only reason for running is for "ego")
Don't misunderstand, the General is out to Win the nomination and
general election
- as he has said before he has never lost anything that he has put his mind to win. His reasons for winning is NOT because of ego, but because Clark took an oath many years ago - to defend this nation from all enemies, domestic or abroad (that would be George Bush). Bush is on a path to destroy all the goodwill and foreign policy that every President for the last 50 years have been building,....Bush/Cheney foreign polices are very dangerous for the US and the world as a whole, plus he's slowly destroying many domestic policies here at home.

Should the General fail to get the nomination, at least he has
mortally wounded Bush in the area that only a 4 star General has the credentials to do.........leaving a weakened opponent for the
Democratic nominee for the general election.


If the General wins the nomination (which feel he will, with all his supporters' help) he has the potential to be one of the Best Presidents in our history. General Clark is the candidate running who's motivation is dedication to public service and betterment of America and her citizens. Many other top tier candidates have similar a noble goal but some will try and claw their way to the top and will denigrate other Dems in the process.

NOW THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLARK & DEAN

"IT'S YOUR ECONOMY AND YOUR WAR, STUPID!"
A REAL MILITARY HERO TELLS A GENUINE INTELLIGENCE FAILURE

12. It violates rules #2 and #4
2. The subject line of a discussion thread and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include profanity, excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation. Inflammatory rhetoric should also be avoided.

4. If you wish to start a vanity thread (ie: a discussion thread in which the sole purpose is to share your personal opinion) you must state your opinion in a non-inflammatory manner which respects differences in opinion and facilitates actual discussion.

-----

Let's see if Clark has equal protection under the law.

11. It is a pretty obvious violation of the
'inflammatory' rule. And even if it was worded more properly, it still seems like the sort of thing that belongs in the Lounge, not here. Kind of odd it's hung around so long.

17. Now I hope you know that I'm a Clarkista
after all this time. But I call it as I see it, no matter who/what the stupidity is.

Hey, I just saw on CNN that Clark is ahead in South Carolina by 7 % over Edwards.

19. I'll start a thread with the poll data.
I suspect this will bring out the Deanites on the attack, though :/

20. Actually, if you continue to play....
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 05:37 PM by Rowdyboy
you'll have several more chances, since Dean appears to be losing and Clark will likely be in it til the end..

First chance I've ever had to vote for Dean.

16. Those of us with LIVES, don't really understand the whole
voting someone of the island thingy. I know it has something to do with Fantasy Island, or Mysterious Island, or some idiotic reality TV bullshit, but to those of us with brains, it means nothing whatsoever.
