I love this fantasy campaign poster
I got this from somebody's signature and I love it! Whoever made it gets kudos:



They both look intense and insanely cool. Ready to take care of business for America!

7. Even though Clark praised Karl Rove's delegate ciphering?....
I mean, I know Clark has been a loyal supporter of Hillary, and stood by her endorsing with his silence her bigot-pandering and assassination-as-a-campaign-strategy tactics, but don't you think that him praising Rove's fantasy delegate count for Hillary crossing the line?

I don't think ANYBODY who has ever praised a Rove/Bush tactic should be in Obama's administration. That is the opposite of everything Obama has campaigned on.

14. "Can anything be more moving than the joyous throngs swarming the streets of Baghdad?..." .....
How about this quote?

http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0917-14.htm

Published on Thursday, April 10, 2003 by the Times/UK
Anti-War Candidate?
What Must Be Done to Complete a Great Victory
by General Wesley Clark

Can anything be more moving than the joyous throngs swarming the streets of Baghdad? Memories of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the defeat of Milosevic in Belgrade flood back. Statues and images of Saddam are smashed and defiled. Liberation is at hand. Liberation — the powerful balm that justifies painful sacrifice, erases lingering doubt and reinforces bold actions. Already the scent of victory is in the air. Yet a bit more work and some careful reckoning need to be done before we take our triumph....


Makes him sound like one of Bush's phoney-baloney "military experts."

11. Wow I didn't know Clark said those things
“President Bush and Tony Blair should be proud of their resolve in the face of so much doubt.” Times of London (4/10/2003)

“General Clark said today that he would have supported the congressional resolution to invade Iraq.” NYTimes (09/19/2003)

"...And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice... people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there." Pulaski County GOP Lincoln Day Dinner, Little Rock, AR (5/11/2001)

13. Please read the entire context.
This has been discussed ad nauseum, yet some people persist in posting quotes isolated out of context. If you look at everything Clark has said, over and over and over and over again, these quotes do not represent his view of Republicans or the war.

15. They DO represent his beliefs at the time he said them--the problem with Clark....
is that, when it comes to flip-flopping, he makes John McCain look rock-steady.

18. The problem with reading comprehension
is that it takes a few minutes and an open mind.

I explained the context of the article to you before; so at this point, you're clearly working an agenda.

Cya. :hi:

20. We disagreeon this issue. I shan't accuse you of gullibility if you refrain from....
insulting me from claiming I'm working from an agenda.

17. "Mary, help!"
Edited on Mon Jun-09-08 06:22 PM by Occam Bandage
It wasn't the political positions Clark stated that were disturbing as much as the apparent lack of thought behind them. His confessing that despite his doubts about the Iraq war he "probably" would have supported the resolution in Congress isn't indefensible -- John Kerry made the same decision for much the same reason (although he's finding the nuances of his choice tough to defend politically). What's disturbing is Clark's appearing to have hardly thought about it much until now, and the vacillating way he defended his position once he took it.

A moment after saying he'd probably have voted for the resolution, he added, "I don't know if I would have or not. I've said it both ways because when you get into this, what happens is you have to put yourself in a position -- on balance, I probably would have voted for it." But later, talking about Howard Dean's opposition to the resolution, Clark said, "I think he's right. That in retrospect we should never have gone in there. I didn't want to go in there either."

The most surreal moment came when the Iraq questions were getting tougher, and Clark called for his press aide Mary Jacoby. "Mary, help!" the retired general cried, in a moment that could define him, and not as the tough military leader his supporters tout him as. The soothing Jacoby reminded Clark, "You said you would have voted for the resolution as leverage for a U.N.-based solution."

"Right," Clark responded. "Exactly."

And then on Friday he backtracked again, telling the Associated Press "Let's make one thing real clear, I would never have voted for this war," Clark said before a speech at the University of Iowa. "I've gotten a very consistent record on this. There was no imminent threat. This was not a case of pre-emptive war. I would have voted for the right kind of leverage to get a diplomatic solution, an international solution to the challenge of Saddam Hussein." OK, glad we got that straight, 24 hours later.

8. I love it - the Hottest Ticket in town
Now if someone can post the swimming suit photos, the election will be over.

There will be no way that McCain can win.

19. No - they look like FBI agents
or Men in Black, or something. Of course, that may appeal to some.
