  Storey, despite much of your intelligence, sometimes you can say some really stupid things. Wes Clark and George Bush? are you out of your mind? here's what storey says about urlLink Clark a couple of reasons why, without getting into the specifics of Clark's politics (i'll do that later in this post), Clark is better than Bush 1) Clark may have gone to war with Iraq--- and you and I have clashed on that issue before, but he sure as hell would have been better in hte post war administration.
He's done it before, he did a pretty good job of it in Kosovo, which has become relatively stable. 2) Its sort of unnerving to call him a fascist, right, like he's not going to take over and start calling himself "der Furor.
" but if you mean that he's Ashcroftian? well your wrong there too. he's been an avid oppnent of many of Bush's more .
. .
uh.
. .
creative policies including the Patriot act.. . if you've seen him on MSNBC, you'd know that he's very often critical of the government for being too intrusive into rights. for example, on MSNBC, Clark the following (cut and pasted from a pro-clark urlLink blog . ) He said the administration entered office determined to wage war with Iraq and seized on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks for justification. He accused the administration of violating principles of American democracy. "This administration is trying to do something that ought to be politically impossible to do in a democracy, and that is to govern against the will of the majority," he said.
"That requires twisted facts, silence, secrecy, and very poor lighting. Thats why you need night-vision goggles to see whats going on over there. " 3) he's quite smart. he was a Rhodes Scholar, graduated top of his class at West Point.
. .
consider the last Rhodes Scholar we elected---- William "Mother lovin'-big pimpin" Clinton. nuff said. also, let's look at his politics, they are quite liberal, even if they are conservative for YOU, storey, but then again, you'd have to look right to see Karl Marx.
from " urlLink (updated: not the campaign blog, but an unofficial pro-clark site) a wes clark campaign blog ": 1. Clark is economically progressive: His first major initiative will be to create jobs by very targetted tax credits, help states pay for additional security, and bolster education funding. He would pay this by rolling back upper income tax breaks passed by Bush. 2. Clark is a believer in civil liberties: he is pro-choice, he would review the Patriot Act to remove overly broad provisions, he would protect access to the ballot box and court system.
3. Clark is an internationalist: he would live up to our treaty obligations, expand trade, expand contacts around the world, and work through international institutions by effective diplomacy. 4. Clark is a patriot: and believes that patriotism requires speaking out, involvement and action. He believes that dissent is not disloyalty. 5. Clark is a doer: with administrative experience to get things done, and form teams that will get things done.
