65. I'm a Clark supporter....and to most, it goes without saying!
Edited on Sun Jul-30-06 08:05 PM by FrenchieCat
We need a real leader; not a follower, not a calculating politician, not an appeaser, not a CEO, not an after the fact "I get it"er, not a 1992 candidate, not someone without Foreign policy experience, and not someone who became so sorry too late about war and peace.

We need someone who thinks out of the DC box, and understands the world.

Looking at a general election, considering that McCain is the only foreign policy guy the GOP have (and he ain't all that....apart from having the press at his back), putting Clark up for the Dems would win us the election. The voting folks know that Dems deliver on Domestic issues....they are just not quite sure we can "deal" with the National Security issue (why, cause the media tells them so). Give them Clark, and they'll vote for him....cause they would have to listen to him, and you can be sure that the man makes sense.

....Of course, you can bet that Clark will not become the nominee because they are enough out there with power and no control over him who will make sure of it and enough Dems more scared of retired Generals than of calculating "got to prove to them that I'm tough no matter what" politicians. Plus, he didn't "do" Bildenberg.....so he's automatically out of the running. That said, if enough truly understood electoral strategy, they would see that Wes Clark is a winning strategy all on his own. Pair him with a feingold as VP, and Dems take the White House in 2008...cause those are two smart tough leader guys who would do the right thing!

PS: Plus, Wes Clark cares sincerely about this country more than about his "future" and that is why he is out there. Please know that this man could be out there earning beaucoup money right now, and he ain't got no "gig" paid for by taxpayers......and many knows that compared to all of the other contenders, he ain't got no fortune. But hell no, he ain't selling his soul, he's out there fighting like us.
