Reply #7: Wes Clark is too intelligent and too concerned about his country

[FrenchieCat]

and doesn't like to make difficult issues simplistic. He's too much of a problem solver and not enough of a braggard (he uses "we" way too much, and not enough "I"). Plus he tells the truth much too often even if it might cost him, and appears to not always go with the popular flow even when he could do so easily if he was solely after support.

"Wes Clark is a man of whom you can ask a question, and he will look you directly in the eye, and give you the most truthful and complete answer you can imagine. You will know the absolute truth of the statement as well as the thought process behind the answer. You will have no doubt as to the intellect of the speaker and meaning of the answer to this question....So you can see, as a politician, he has a lot to learn." Mario Cuomo

Another bad thing is that the media barely if ever mentions Wes Clark at all as a presidential contender, even though we are still fighting two wars, both which we are losing. The media elevates Giuliani and McCain for the other side, but anoints Hillary, Obama and Edwards on our side. There may be a strategic reason for this apparent disconnect between the qualities of the heralded GOP candidates versus the heralded Dem candidates.

Plus The GOP to this day shits it's pants at the simple mention of Clark's name.

Every faithful Freeper I know shits his pants when I tell them Clark may run in 2008.
