[CTyankee]

This guy is amazing. AND he is a truth teller and a hero. Anybody else on DU interested?

[merh]

1. He has my vote

:thumbsup:

[oldtime dfl_er]

[Zorbuddha]

40. Two exRepublicans is too many

for one ticket. But I'd trade for that in a heartbeat.

[ArkDem]

3. Yes, He is a REAL winner!

[AmBlue]

4. ABSOLUTELY!!

I've been saying this for a while now. The man's phenomenal and tolerates no bullshit. His character shines through.

WILSON '08!!

[LeftNYC]

5. Yessir!

got my vote!

[Chicago Democrat]

6. I'll vote for him... Even tho he's a Republican... I think...

at least his temperment seems so.. Hell... ANY HONEST MAN I WILL SUPPORT (OR WOMAN, OR MAMMAL)

[Fridays Child]

9. He's a Dem, now...

...if his contributions to and participation in the last election are any indication.

[Chicago Democrat]

12. Welcome Joe Wilson!

Yeah , lots of Bush I type Republicans are in our party now.


What an idiot Chimp is.

[Dr.Phool]

7. Yeesssssss......

[Fridays Child]

8. Wouldn't that be an in-your-face amazing event?

And I have no doubt that he has the requisite skills and intelligence for the job.

[caledesi]

10. I think he would make an excellent president! Got my vote. nt

[iconoclastNYC]

11. we cant get a democrat elected why not run a republican? n/t

[AmBlue]

13. Anybody else wanna nom this??

I think this is a great idea that needs to take root.

[Serial Mom]

14. I'd vote for this man of class, honesty and eloquence!

[Burried News]

15. Yup

Wonder what Soros is thinking about now?

[emulatorloo]

16. Ken Mehlman, is that you?

Just joking. . .but isn't that what the Republican Talking Points keep saying -- that Joe Wilson is a Democrat Hack and is running for office or some such nonsense?

Please -- let Joe Wilson be Joe Wilson. He is not a candidate for President.

[CTyankee]

17. His appearance on Ed Schultz today

just solidified my high opinion of this guy. I don't see a down side. Yes, at one point he was a Republican but so was Wes Clark. And a demoralized Republican who has turned Democrat is a good thing! Hey, and St. Valerie (I mean that nicely)is also a good thing!

[Quixote1818]

18. He strikes me as someone who would HATE all the evil that goes

on in politics. I don't think he would ever want to throw himself into all the BS. But you never know?


Wouldn't that be the perfect poetic justice!!!!

Nominated.

[Gloria]

19. Exactly my thoughts!! About 2 days ago I decided that his

smarts, guts, and love of country qualified him. Facing down BUSHCO is an incredible act of courage!

[Zorbuddha]

41. It certainly is. Genuine courage, and true patriotism.

Sure makes all those on the other side trying to slime him look even smaller and more devious.

[existentialist]

20. Joe Wilson

How about Joe Wilson for Secretary of State in a Wesley Clark Administration?

[rosesaylavee]

21. Here is a guy that is really bi-partisan and

can talk calmly with both dems and republicans.

He is unequivocally for America's best interests... here is a link to chapter seven of his book I found online that outlines his heroics during the first Gulf War.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4856568/

A true uniter not a divider.

He has my vote.

[i miss america]

22. He'd make one heck of a great Secretary of State in Wes Clark's admin.

[goclark]

31. That would have my vote

[tk2kewl]

23. Veep to Clark

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

24. A brilliant and accomplished first lady, to boot.

Yes, yes, yes. MKJ

[mondo joe]

25. He's got my vote. Smart, strong, articulate and ethical.

I like!

[rumpel]

26. I would seriously consider it.

[Imagevision]

27. I would back Wilson over anybody in a New York Minute!

[dalaigh lllama]

28. Absolutely!

He's worked in the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton administrations -- I think he's been nonpartisan until the fiasco with W in 2002. I don't know if he's registered democratic but he should definitely be drafted. Look at what he's got going for him (and for US):
Charisma. Gumption. Integrity. Brains. Good looks. And golly, he can do that diplomatic stuff, too.

[Ilsa]

29. Personally, I'm open to a

(Wes) Clark-Wilson ticket.

[FrenchieCat]

30. Yep....

Clark's been paying with personal attacks and smears from this admin for a long time now (although they didn't attack his wife--thank God/Lowly ass bastards, these are). But I do think Clark's been paying all of the dues that many party purists required for quite some time.....so he gets first dibs, IMO.

VP to Loretta Sanchez! Clean, fiesty, and attractive Latino congresswoman with a track record at beating Incumbent Republicans in their very own district.

Wilson would be a great Secretary of state in a Clark admin. That admin would actually be believed by the rest of the world.

Now wouldn't that be something!

[sundancekid]

32. a truth to power ticket ... wilson & clark & clarke and ?? administration

where do I sign up ?????

[Carolab]

33. I was just saying that YESTERDAY!

He has everything that it takes.

[napi21]

34. I love Wilson and he is a truth teller, but he's not a politician.

He'd be burried in a minute by the national politicians, much faster than they did Howard Dean. I honestly think, if Dean were to run again, he'd probably win. He's gotten a BIG education in the last few years.

Joe is a great man, and I respect him, and hope what he's done brings down this admin, but he will never be a major candidate for Pres. anytime soon.

[fooj]

35. Why not? An American who is an authentic, honorable patriot.

Sounds good to me.

Peace.

[Booster]

36. He's everything we need right now. Truthful, fatherly, not bad on

the eyes, very nice looking wife, and they are both INTELLIGENT. How refreshing it would be to have 2 people in the WH who can actually put a sentence together. Please, Mr. Wilson, please run.

[zippy890]

37. Big kick -- He is unafraid

This thought came to my mind when I heard him quote Benjamin Franklin on Ed Shultz -

He is very courageous, patriotic and articulate.

and he's not afraid of his own shadow, like so many democratic leaders come off these days.

Joe Wilson for President

:dem: :toast:

[seeminer21]

38. Yeah!

He's the man!

[Zorbuddha]

39. I like the guy tremendously. But remember, he voted for GHW Bush in '92

I don't know if I can forgive him for that.

Aside from that, I don't recall being quite as impressed by anyone as such a stand-up guy in the face of such a situation as his. He gets my vote, and I suspect his wife is something special, as well.



I'm smitten with these people.

[Carolab]

42. I think he's since made up for that 1992 vote, don't you? n/t

[Zorbuddha]

43. It goes to political leanings...

He doesn't owe me anything, but as far as being a hero (which he is in spades) this is a tough thing to dismiss entirely. He is terrific, like I said. And after all, John Dean is a HUGE hero IMHO...and he worked for Nixon, for crying out loud. So, yes...forgiveness is called for, but it seemed worth pointing out.
