[Rowdyboy]

Clark backtracks on plans to nominate a man for VP!

Evidently Gert is a Hillary-in-waiting!

[BeHereNow]

1. I hear Cheney's daughter

is looking for a new gig...
wouldn't surprise me in the least given
Clark's ties to Carlucci and the Poppy Bush
banking gang.

[Rowdyboy]

2. This may have been FAR too complex but

it was meant as SARCASM

[Renew Deal]

3. We have had trouble with /sarcasm

a couple times tonight. DU: Home of the inellectual liberal.

[Rowdyboy]

4. Obviously, its a bit of a stretch...

for some. Here's hoping most people get the gist.

[WillyBrandt]

5. Typical PNAC Martian

Clark was born 58 years ago. And since his birth, there has been NO LIFE ON MARS.

DOESN'T ANYBODY SEE IT?

Clark isn't a REAL Democrat!

[RandomUser]

8. I knew it!

Damn PNAC'ers have their eyes on Mars. If Clark was a REAL Democrat, why isn't there life on Mars, huh? We have to keep this man out of the WH -- the Martians are depending on us! :)

[Pastiche423]

9. I just screen shot your post

So I can look at it when I need a giggle.

[roughsatori]

10. you admit what many of us know "Clark isn't a real Democrat"

Your words, not mine. But I finally agree with you on Clark.

[WillyBrandt]

13. Typical assailant of

jokes and humor. Talk about killing a joke. Jeez! :dunce:

[Julien Sorel]

16. The polls have brought back the Clark bashers, I see.

We'll be awash with them before too much longer, with the same tired old chants.

18. Democrat? He isn't even a real terrestrial being!

Come on roughsatori, we have to stop the Martians from taking over the Earth! To the batmobile! :)

[moz4prez]

11. are you suggesting Wesley Clark is actually a Jovian soul eater

who wiped off every last vestige of life from the moon before he crushed all the Martian ice caps into somebody's Kool-Aid and snagged my prom date but not before he kicked sand in my face

[WillyBrandt]

15. That only scratches the surface

Do you know that "Wes Clark" is an anagram of "Newt Gingrich"?

ALSO--When was the last time you saw Wes and Newt in the same room at the same time?

[moz4prez]

24. oooooooooooooooooooooo

Wes Clark
Newt Gingrich

freaky shit, man.

actually i have a photo on file of Newt buying Wes Clark a can of Pepsi. I'll see if I can dig it up before New Hampshire secedes.

[roughsatori]

6. the problem is that Clark is perceived by many as a waffler

Your link to the story of the speech and the "misses" is cute in a shucks sort of way--but it illustrates that trait of Clark's in action.

[Julien Sorel]

7. Who is 'many,' and what issues has Clark 'waffled' on?

[Renew Deal]

12. I wouldn't wait up.

:boring:

[Julien Sorel]

17. Time for bed, anyway. These people are likely to be re-emerging

from the woodwork, so there will be plenty of opportunities down the road.

[Renew Deal]

22. It looks like it

I have noticed the trend...I am afraid the wars are coming back to DU. I hope not. This has been a happy place for the last month (except for the Conf. Flag stuff {not bashing, making a point <no really, I am not>}).

[roughsatori]

21. The word "many" means indefinite but large number

We would probably disagree over the amount. The future will show if I am correct (or if you are)regarding "many" in this case. I think that if Clark wins the nomination he will lose the election. I'm sure you think he is the "most electable." The future will prove one of us right and one of us wrong.

Perception does not mean that it is a "fact." That is why I used the word "perceived." Clark's changing his views is something that I think can indicate growth in an individual. But in Clark's case I doubt his sincerity and the depth of his conversion.

You know as a Clark defenders that some members here do make the claim that he has waffled, on IWR as well as his own confusion when claiming to be a "proud Democrat" when he was still a registered Independent.

I only commented because it is ironic that a supporter would post an anecdote that illustrated "waffling" in a silly way.

[Renew Deal]

23. Without getting to deep

other scenarios are possible which means you would both be wrong.

[Julien Sorel]

26. Some people still say the world is flat.

Does it warrant a post? You repeated claptrap to slam Clark, and now actually admit it, which makes your original post the work of a hypocrite.

There is no way of 'knowing' if Clark is the most electable or not, since only one person will get the opportunity to face Bush, and winning or losing wouldn't prove anything. Gary Hart would probably have fared better than Mondale did against Reagan in 1984, but he still would have lost. Did that make him 'less electable' than Mondale? One must infer subjective issues like electability by using one's judgment, hopefully unfettered by the bonds of hyposcrisy and wishful thinking, of the evidence. That evidence tells me that Clark is the most electable; your judgment will, given what I've seen of it, lead you to a somewhat different conclusion, but then, there's that part about hypocrisy and wishful thinking getting in the way. :shrug:

[Rowdyboy]

27. Its called "hubris", roughsatori

A concept from Greek tragedy that implies an overwhelming overconfidence or pride. I feel free to joke about Clark waffling because it is so obviously a canard. Clark is as much a waffler as Dean is soft-spoken or Kucinich is centrist or Gephart is charismatic.

[Kahuna]

33. Nuanced thinking is not "waffling," roughsatori..

Some people realize that nothing in life boils down to black or white.

[retyred]

19. You felt the wind too huh?

[Rowdyboy]

14. For God's sake

IT WAS A JOKE!

IT WAS SILLY!

IT WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE SERIOUS!

I think I need to go to bed now. The tommyknockers are getting loud again and it hurts my head!

maybe editing the topic line will help...

[BeHereNow]

25. Sorry RowdyBoy,

But for me, there is NOTHING humorous about
Clark and the situation this country is in.
Entrust is funded by Nortel-
Entrust has just landed the Homeland Security gig
and a major Northrop "Gruntmen"contract.
Entrust is now set up to detect and find draft evaders.
What do you not understand about WHO Wes Clark is?
It is no joking matter when democrats fall for a corporatist
posing as a candidate for president.
and by the way, he is not a Republican, or a Democrat.
For those of you who have not figured it out-
our country has suffered a coup de tate by CORPORATISTS-
they care not about political parties.
They only care about amassing and maintaining power.
Example: Carlucci/Nortel funder and founder of Entrust.
Oh who was the former director of Entrust who still holds
major shares in the fascist digital identity tracking company ENTRUST?
COULDN"T be ole "WC" could it?
People get the government they deserve.
So be it. Run lemmings, run.
It's not a cliff, really.
Pay no attention to what those men behind the corporate
curtains are up to.

20. lol

DU bever disappoints :toast:

[Julien Sorel]

28. Actually it does all the time. Lots of people here are absolutely

no better than the freaks who post at Free Republic (a site I'd never heard of 'til I came here and saw how many people obsessed over it), they just come from a different angle. But the root attitudes, paranoia, anger, bitterness, the belief that the other guy is out to tear the country down, are the same. Given the rhetoric here, I keep finding myself disappointed -- it must be the idiot optimist in me. People here remind me, all the time, that Stalinism started out as a left-wing movement.

[Pastiche423]

29. Lots of people here are absolutely

Democrats, hence the name, Democraticunderground.

[Rowdyboy]

30. Even if that were 100% correct

wouldn't you still rather be here than there? And don't you deep down want to be here? Its troublesome, I admit, but DU is like your hometown. You know the faults better than strangers do, you criticize it vociferously, and you'll beat the shit out of any outsider who dare talk bad about it. Welcome to DU.

[BeHereNow]

31. I am bookmarking this thread.

After the 2004 election, I will bring it back.
Bush will have won a second term, thanks to WC, his stalking horse
that you have mistaken for a saviour.
wolf in sheeps clothing is more accurate, but you are
convinced that the military is a democractic way of life,
so why bother.
Entrust and Nortel will have major business with the HS
and serve in enforcement of the Patriot Act and Draft (June 2005) as well.

Entrust will also have secured more contracts in India
in outsourcing -Remember SIRVA?
Clark's friend and fellow share holder in Entrust
Huang will be handling even
more accounts for Halliburton and Bechtel, Exxon and so forth...

I will say no more until it comes to pass, and then I will
bring this thread back to say,
I tried to tell you.

32. Is BHN a Freeper??

Hey I'm sort of new here, but BHN sounds like a Freeper with his bashing of Clark.....I agree with the earlier post, lets try one of the GOPs repeat tactics..like
