Clark fights back

[BeyondGeography]

Snippet from today's rally televised onCspan:

"No Republican and no Democrat is going to drive a wedge between me and the veterans of this country."

Many Clark supporters have been begging the General to go on the offensive,or at least counterpunch.This is a good start.

[jmaier]

1. His whole CSPAN speech was filled

with passion, great ideas, a strong vision and a firm attack against the current administration.

[emulatorloo]

4. He is a good man, sharp as a tack and a great candidate n/t

[Loren645]

2. Yes it was. I wish I had a transcript.

n/t

3. Clark Has Been Holding His Fire. It'll Be Clear When He Fires Back

He is using force ONLY as a last resort.

[Toucano]

22. Only! Only! Only!

I love that line. I know it's simple, but it moves me.

5. I especially liked his defining of "family values". Little more to it

than pro-life or pro-choice.

[Tactical Progressive]

10. Clark made 'family values' sound like more than a catch-phrase

What the hell does he think he's doing actually discussing what family values means? Doesn't he know it's just a meaningless club for Republicans to swing at whoever they want?

Wesley is not playing by the rules!!!

[lcordero]

6. offensive? he went past offensive, this man is out to win

He sounded like a confrontational opposition FDR Democrat. He's doing like Eminem and putting the sinister meaning back into the definition of "left".

[Jerseycoa]

18. Ooooh, yeah!

:bounce:

[lcordero]

25. BTW...he sounded like he was trying to drag the Party back

to the left:D

7. The General was very impressive today,

Great answers, consise, to the point and in down to earth language all could understand. I really like his "family values" speech. Be afraid, repugs, be very afraid. Edwards, Clark, Dean, Kerry....they have your number and we will beat you at your own game.

[girl gone mad]

9. Yes!

I love hearing them point out the dichotomy between Republican "family values" rhetoric and actions.

[Democrats unite]

8. This is how a candidate should act

12. Then, stop offending veterans, General

And stop trivializing their sacrifice when compared to your 4 shiny stars. Let's face it, Clark drove the wedge between "senior officers" and "junior officers".

[WillyBrandt]

14. I'm going to lower my blood pressure

So long!

[HootieMcBoob]

20. I think you know that Clark was responding to a dis from Dole

You know that very well.

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. WRONG ANSWER!

Bob Dole started this shit and Clark is going to finish it! :grr:

[Ivote]

26. He most certainly did

not. Have you seen what he has done.

[Jerseycoa]

15. Let's show him how much we care

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. He also said

that the FIRST POLITICAL rally that HE had ever been to was when he started his campaign. :7

[HootieMcBoob]

24. That rally was very effective I thought

He gave a very passionate, articulate speech that was very appealing. I think he shook the hand of every single voter at the rally and it was packed with people. It looks like there were a lot of undecideds there too and many of them seemed to have thrown their support behind Clark.

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. Yup,

a lot of people told him that. He was fantastic today!

Go Wes!
