Depending on how he runs his campaign he's got a great shot. He's fundamentally against war but he's got a military background so he'll do what needs to be done. He'll also be responsible fiscally and pay attention to the deficit and whatnot. Seems like a good middle-of-the-line candidate who's good for both sides.

I agree, but my only fear is that he's not lefty enough to get the final Democratic spot...


kinda like with the Republican's...you gotta be a wacked out far-righty to get the seat...you can say 'compassionate conservative' to the people and on ads, but as long as you tell the boys in the back room 'fuck those people' you'll get in...


anyone that thought Bush was going to be a middle of the road righty might as well take up doing acid 24/7, cuz their grasp on reality is not going to get any worse...

All Presidents are anti-war. Nobody likes war, but everyone likes to protect themselves.

Just try and think about it.

If someone walks in your house with a gun, would you wish you had a gun when they turn around to grab your wife?

It is EXACTLY the same thing when there is evidence that a country intends to destroy things & lives in OUR country, and we go to THAT country and STOP them BEFORE this happens.

All the anti-American anti-Bush this and that jackasses want EVERYTHING to be justified with DEATH.

If we had an attack DIRECTLY from IRAQ, you`d support the effort, but no, you only support the one that came from Afganistan, because some people were killed.

FUCK THAT.

There WILL be proof of the weapons, just be patient. If you don`t think the 'WMD`s' will ever surface, then go read about something else that you can be short sighted on.

I guess if you ignore the history of the 20th century you might think that.

Nope, cuz you still have the 19th century to set you straight.

Took the words out of my mouth.

Noone cares about the 20th century, modern people have VALUES.

Of course you`ll say HITLER, but that was different, he was a full blooded Liberal, even started most things they practice now, Vegetarian, Animal Rights, and 'population control' AKA: Mass promotion of Abortion and Ads that say " You don`t HAVE to keep it if you are scared for your poverty level... "

[ noone in American is in poverty except on paper ]

A normal working couple can make no less than $20k a year on %5.15 minimum wage @ fulltime.

Single is around $12k - Still enough for a cheap apartment and a child.

[sorry this turned into a moral/facts post]

Colin, why do liberals always attack tidbits & me personally, after they KNOW I have presented the facts and they have no counter attack?

Ol' Gen. Clark is a STRONG contender.

If he plays his cards right.

I'm going to go and check with kin and countrymen to see if he's gonna be the same Gen. Clark we used to know.

Clark has a very impressive credentials when it comes to War policies. As Generals themselves say, only retaliate when fired upon...this has been the case of the US government the past couple of years in the event of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Making decisions in an event of war is really hard the fact that you think on the welfare of your people and others as well.

ewwww

MODERN people? No one cares about the 20th Century? How did man make the jump to "modern" in just the past three years?

Is George Bush your shining example of a president with values that is anti-war? You might be crazy. At least have the decency to choose Jimmy Carter. Outside of Carter, what post WW II president hasn't had soldiers overseas?

Buff,

Amazing. As soon as the US became the world's number one economic power it had troops overseas more years than not.

How does anything in the 19th century proof Carlito's contention that "all Presidents are anti-war'. Most of those so-called anti-war presidents were too busy killing Injuns to go warring with the powers of Europe.

maybe it has something to do with you calling people "liberals" as an epithet, and maybe you're facts are not accurate, just like the bush administration.

i consider myself a libertarian and i think this war was contrived and nothing more than a power grab by the neo comms.

the neo comms and the bush administration are no more conservative than my dick is a telephone pole.

if you are a true conservative you support NOTHING this administration or the republican party does, and you are in fact a libertarian but you just don't know it yet.

get smart here

I like him. And I'm a bit suprised because I've always been leary of someone with strictly a military background running for office.

I saw him on "Real Time" with Bill Mahrer and on Hardball with Chris Matthews and I liked the way he handled himself and didn't avoid direct questions.

However, almost NO ONE gives him a real shot at the Presidency. It does look like he's positioning himself as a vice presidential candidate.

The intrigue over the last 2 days is that he's gotten VERY warm endorsements from the Clintons (more than they've said about the other candidates), and he had a private meeting with Howard Dean.

Does this mean a Dean/Clark ticket for the democrats?
Could be a potent force!

The only thing that REALLY bothers me is..omg..theking and I actually agree on something for I think the first time in history! :1orglaugh

Facts? What is the evidence that "all Presidents are anti-war"? I don't think we Americans have been under a constant enough threat to support that contention in light of the overwhelming number of times US presidents have sent troops overseas.

Classic power politics has dictated going to war but that assumes a certain viewpoint. It assumes you are willing to use force and go to war to achieve political goals. US Presidents have been rather willing to do that.

Speaking of how fucked up our foreign policy is..
Did anyone see Cundelessa Rice on Nightline last night?
Boy, Koppel really did a number on her. He said: "You guys were making a case for months that there were all these WMDs that posed an immediate threat to the United States..yet we can't find any of them. Do you think it's possible they've NOW fallen into the hands of the very terrorists that we tried to keep away from them?"

Condo just did the old song of dance "We'll find them..we've only been there for 6 months."

That's just about the most insane thing I've ever read. 5.15 an hour full time comes out to about 11k a year before taxes. Granted, you wouldn't have to pay federal income tax at that income level, but you would still have to pay social security, which is approximately 15% so that would leave you with about 9,500 dollars for an entire year of full time work, I don't know what reality you live in, but even in a state with a very low cost of living I don't know who could survive on that income, let alone with a child. Even if there were two incomes that would still be only 19,000 a year. It makes me suspect that you still live with your parents because you obviously have NO idea what it's like in the real world.

That's BS and you knw it. bush is PRO war and your analogy sucks big time. Saddam did NOT break into OUR house and grab our wife with a gun. maybe he would have but he didn't yet. Go to some guy's house that you THINK might do something to you and kill them and then see if a jury let's you off the hook. Nope, you get life in prison. Oh yeah i case you haven't hear even Donny Rummy says ther is ZERO connetion between 9-11 and Saddam.

Bush is stupid and a bad "president" and needs to eat more pretzels.

As a Libertarian, I support any war which destablizes any government anywhere, even if only temporarily. So I don't mind US troops being deployed in combat to murder the Taliban, Hussein, or any other fucktards out there. I just wish we'd pull the troops stationed in Europe and Asia out since they're getting paid to sit around and do not shit, and send them to the Middle East to murder more of those fucks.

But other than that, I despise everything this or any other administration does, since all they do is expand the size and scope of government.
