Gore has derailed the Democratic Party.....
I think he knows somethings up with the new emergence of a State Controlled Media. That's why he decided NOT to run and to begin efforts towards a liberal based counter media organization.

By endorsing Dean, he created a dangerous Animal in the Jungle, Lieberman. Does everyone remember the debates following the endorsement when Lieberman went on the national stage attack against Dean? Statements to the effect - if you vote for this man you risk isolating the Democratic party for years!

Well with the firing of Trippi by Dean today, he will probably emerge as the new attack dog in the forest. My bet is that he starts painting Kerry and Edwards as the only candidates that refused to stand up for democrats during the War debate, Patriot Act, No Child Left Behind, and Medi-Care reform.

Clark if he remains above the fray may be the only viable candidate for the survival of our democracy as we know it.

But the media is wise to Clark, they fear him religiously and will pull out every trick in the book to STOP him at all costs.

Five Southern Senate seats could be captured by the right in this election. The Media knows that, and the Northern Liberal
establishment candidate Kerry will deliver those seats as sure as I'm sitting here.

The total destruction of the Democratic Party as we know it is at hand, along with Affirmative Action, Legalized Abortion, Social Security and every other social program invented in the last 50 years.

Clark stands between them and ultimate victory.

THEY HAVE TO STOP THAT MAN AT ALL COSTS.

1. Gore did no one any favors by endorsing
so early, least of all Dean.

2. He derailed it by giving Lieberman influence.
If not for Lieberman, Edwards and Clark would have walked away from NH with delegates.

9. I wish Gore would.........
have chosen Edwards as his running mate in 2000. I don't think we'd be going thru all this now.

3. Gore ran a poor campaign and made bad choices in 2000
namely his running mate.

This election is not about Gore though. His endorsement did very little at all.

4. Clark, Pentagon lobbyist extraordinaire
I have another slogan to add to Clark's never-ending parade of empty sloganeering: "Wes Clark: Militarism. Corporatism. Two for the price of one."

5. Clark has only been retired about five years...

8. Get off it already, your vitriol is way overplayed...
Try to support your candidate instead of constantly
ad nauseum tearing down a dem.

6. In order to derail something, it has to be on a track
in the first place.
