Clark supporters, chime in and debunk the bunk!

1. Who knew DUers wrote for the RNC?

That stuff sounds familiar. It's been posted here a million times.

[madfloridian]

2. They can come here for great ammunition.

:hi:

Against all our candidates.

[maddezmom]

5. my first thought as well

:( Oh well, atleast he's finally on their radar screen.

[mot78]

7. Wouldn't be suprised if Gillespie trolls DU

Rush does it.

3. LOL, WOW ...Great News

Clark is really getting to them now.:kick:

[mot78]

4. The think the RNC is more afraid of Clark than Dean

http://www.rnc.org/Newsroom/RNCResearch/research011003.htm

Dean's RNC site has less material.

[Sean Reynolds]

11. Doubt it.

They continually attack Dean as an GAY LOVING, ABORTION WORKING, TAX RAISING, ULTRA LIBERAL.

6. ...

Looks like the wingers are a little concerned about a certain war hero I know.

Wait, I thought Bush was a "shoo-in." :)

8. This is proof that they have nothing on him

Clark Not Ready For Campaign Trail. "'I'm sure he knows that Iowa is a caucus state,' says a Democratic operative. 'But does he know what that means in terms of the organization required, which is immense? He's been a commander, so he's used to giving orders and having people follow them. It's not quite that way in political campaigns.'" (Michael Tomasky, "Meet Mr. Credibility," The American Prospect, 3/1/03)

18. Excuse me? Rove has plenty of materials on Clark

To which to hammer Clark, like oh, for example, a video footage of Clark praising * and the RNC. That's just one of thousands of stuff to which to hammer on Clark's limited budget.

Dean, on the other hand, has practically zero skeletons, an unlimited budget, and positive experience to which Dean, not RNC, can use. More importantly, Dean has tons of ammo against *, which * has little against Dean. If RNC is calling him an ultra-liberal, RNC is dead before the GE even starts.

9. bah...

they're just drooling over his resume.

He's their worst nightmare.

They fear him.

Which is a good thing.

I won't waste my precious time debunking their BS - I much rather prefer to debunk mythical nonsense such as "Clark and Dean are enemies" with one simple observation: I prefer Clark, but if Dean wins the nomination, I'll bust my back trying to get him into the WH - by a landslide.

The repugs are right to fear us.

10. Maybe now some people here will stop calling Wesley Clark...

A republican. If they only knew that associating Clark with Clinton is a good thing! Thanks for the link thats a keeper.

[NV1962]

12. it's jealousy, pure and simple

I mean, compare Clark's resume with that of the usual suspects...

Wes Clark is the star quarterback for the winning team... They're entitled to their empty rants: it's all they have.

Nothing to do here: we have much more important business - like winning over as many as we can from the 50% that didn't vote in 2000. This time, there's a clear-cut choice. :)

13. I just sent the Following e-mail to the RNC...

"Thanks for the information on General Wesley Clark. I was leaning towards him & with what I just read on your website I will vote for him in the Primaries for sure. If anyone can beat Bush in 2004, I am sure it is Wesley Clark. Connecting him with Bill Clinton is a classic! That is sure to bring in the the undecided voters. Clintons two term Presidency & the botched Impeachment trials that put the majority of Americans behind Bill Clinton will surely help Wesley Clark.

P.S. Keep up the good work on information about Wesley Clark I am e-mailing it to all my associates undecided in the primaries. I love free advertising!"


P.S. I had to use my real e-mail address. When should I expect the FBI at my door?

[giantrobot_2000]

14. Ha

Ha, great letter! Did you really send that?

[Democrats unite]

15. Yes I did! Can't wait to see If I get a response or not.

eom

[Kat45]

16. I laughed all the way through the page!

If that's the best they can do, they've got nothing!

[giantrobot_2000]

17. ...

Yeah, the chickenhawks are a little scared.

Run and hide, boys! Run and hide like you always do when real Americans step up and do the job you're too wimpy to do properly!

[Clark4VotingRights]

19. We are known by our enemies.

eom

[John_H]

20. LOL! I love them just the way they are.

If this is all they got, we win by 10 if Clark gets the nod.

The Web site is certainly stupid in that patented GOP way, but there is an interesting subtext: They know this election is about swing voters, hence the attcks on his progressiveness. They're right about that. Trouble is they know Clark takes away Chimp's only swing voter issue. BWHAHAHAHAHA!

[Donna Zen]

21. The sweet spot

In the end, it is always about the 7-10% of the swing voters that get fought over.


In Clark's case they will be fighting for more than that. I recently read, but failed to bookmark, a demographic breakdown of the electorate. There are 25 million voters who are in some way connected to the military; however, they are clustered in certain states. If we can move 6-10% of those voters into the Democratic column, we can take six states away from bush.

Ask yourself: Do you want to win with a liberal?
