Wesley Clark: Is He The Man to Beat Bush?

It should be no surprise that George W. Bush is turning out to be one
of the worst U.S. Presidents in memory, one who may be leading the
country toward a financial debacle. When Mr. Bush was running for
office, it was pointed out that he'd never been successful at any
career he'd tried his hand at; all of his opportunities had been
created for him by others, who were bound to him by family
connections. And when he goofed, there was always some dark-suited
fixer who could clean up his mess. The problem is that the mess Mr.
Bush is now making involves the entire country and the world at
large. And the men and women in dark suits surrounding him are not
providing him with any balance.

As a chorus line of Democratic candidates jostle for the job of
taking on Mr. Bush next fall, there may be one who seems to have what
it takes to actually win and save the country from four more years of
Mr. Bush's stunning ineptitude. We're talking, of course, about
Wesley Clark.

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, George Bush has been hiding
behind a false cloud of bravado and patriotism. If Wesley Clark
becomes the Democratic nominee, he stands a good chance of calling
Mr. Bush's bluff and returning the country to a saner, wiser place.

1. IMHO

Dean may have the majority of the Dems; but Clark will be able to beat Bush.

I understand the military stuff is no big deal around here...but around the country, Clark's commercials on those issues would hit BIG TIME!

:shrug:

:kick:

2. I agree

I'm not bashing Dean or any of the other Dems, I will vote for any of them in a heartbeat if they become the nominee. But after looking at all of them, I really think Clark has the best shot against Bush.

3. I agree

And think that the nominee, if not Clark, should tap him for VP.

5. Amen to that!! Dean/Clark would wipe the entire

country with the Boy King. :bounce:

6. It seems to me

that since the GOP likes to trumpet how strong they are on "taking action", we would be best served by having a man who actually has taken action, in the literal sense of the word, on behalf of the USA.

GW can't campaign on any other issue than terra because he's not done anything about anything 'cept terra........and even then we think he's mishandled the whole thing.

So yes, a man who graudated from WestPoint, was a Rhodes Scholar, became a general and then a Chief of Staff of the US military is precisely the man we need to remove GW.

[wahoo]

7. Clark has everything Bush doesn't

Intelligence...experience...military service (you can hardly call Bush's stint in the Texas guard military service; he was avoiding the War in Vietnam the whole time)

8. Leaning more and more to Clark...will support the Democratic

nominee all the way; but I agree, I think Clark has all the balls and more needed to beat Chimpy. He has the record, the experience, and the leadership to do the job the way it should be done.
