Kristofferson endorses Clark
Edited on Mon Dec-08-03 12:54 PM by ResistTheCoup
You can tell this man is a poet and writer. Short, to the point and fantastic endorsement!

From the Clark blog:

Kris Kristofferson, the actor, singer and political activist has endorsed Wesley Clark. The following email was received by our correspondence department.

"Just when the world is being dragged into the death spiral of an unending cycle of violence by a vision-less, coldblooded collection of think-tank warriors goose-stepping their way into the new millennium with a stunning lack of respect for human rights, the environment, or international law, along comes a man with the proven credentials of intelligence, integrity, and courage singularly equipped by his spirit and experience to lead us out of this mess. Don't listen to what the lying liars say about him; listen to what he says. Wesley Clark is a prayer answered."

Peace,

Kris Kristofferson

6. Broke my heart
I love Willie. But Dennis is a better fit for him, so I'm glad, too.

Was an Army captain (helicopter pilot), a Phi Beta Kappa and, IIRC, a Rhodes Scholar, too.

I appreciate the endorsement of such a man.

7. As long as they endorse dems and not pugs, fine by me...
Kristofferson is an interesting one, though-- son of an Air force General, Golden Gloves boxer, Rhodes Scholar, former Captain in the Army and taught at West Point... Chopper pilot.... (He lost his 'copter pilot job when he passed out at the controls in his boozing days).

I wonder what the repugs are going to dig up on kris to make him look like a nut case, or un-patriotic.
