Guest MikeSC Report post Posted January 10, 2004 Wesley Clark has stated that, if elected President, we will have no terrorist attacks in our country. He also added: "I think it could have been prevented," he said of the Sept. 11 attacks. "I think it can be prevented again if we have the right leadership. That's me. I will protect America." Now, that might be the case --- the Bush WH, hate them if you wish, has done a good job of preventing further terrorist acts here --- but how f'n asinine is it for ANYBODY to make these claims? Is there something in the water that they're drinking? Dean might not be the worst choice. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted January 10, 2004 Silly me for thinking I could find that on CNN.com. Well, seeing as how they're busy blowing the guy, it's not shocking that they missed this. Heck, Dean said that the Iowa caucuses are dominated by special interest extremists 4 years ago. I suppose CNN ignored that, too. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2004 You know, there have been those that blame Clinton for 9-11, but I have always refused to do so. For Clark to say: He also added: "I think it could have been prevented," he said of the Sept. 11 attacks. "I think it can be prevented again if we have the right leadership. That's me. I will protect America." makes him a fucking idiot. Hey Wes, you're UNPATRIOTIC! *insert dramatic music* Now let's take this outside... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2004 Clark really, really needs some handlers to let him know when to speak and what exactly to say. Because this is not the first time something stupid has come out of the man's mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swift Terror 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2004 Some other Clark beauties: - he said that had he been President, he would have caught bin Laden by now - he believes in abortion up until the moment of birth On the current Administration, which he seems, oh I don't know, to not hold in high regard: You see, in the Cold War we were defensive. We were trying to protect our country from communism. Well guess what, it's over. Communism lost. Now we've got to go out there and finish the job and help people live the way they want to live. We've got to let them be all they can be. They want what we have. We've got some challenges ahead in that kind of strategy. We're going to be active, we're going to be forward engaged. But if you look around the world, there's a lot of work to be done. And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office: men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condolzeezza Rice, Paul O'Neill--people I know very well--our president, George W. Bush. We need them there, because we've got some tough challenges ahead in Europe. And don't forget, Madonna has officially endorsed him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2004 With every day I get the impression that Clark is more and more of a flake with too make-up. I'm probably voting Democrat in November, but if he were to pull the upset and win the nomination, it'd be a really hard vote to cast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

History shows terrorist attacks don't happen here consistantly. It's usually a number of years before the next one happens. I'm glad to see that George W has decided to turn Republicans off from the polls this year by giving a few ounces of legitimacy to illegal immigrants. His assistance in defeating him is certainly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The number of Republican votes Bush loses will be negligible, and will likely be more than compensated by the number of Latin votes he'll gain by the move.

Guest JMA Report post Posted January 11, 2004 the Republican party of Abraham Lincoln and the current party are completely different. two entirely different parties/philosophies. Indeed. Lincoln was arguably the best President ever. I'm sure if he was alive today he would be disgusted by all the partisan politics. Of course, first he would have to get over the incredible shock of being in the 21st century...but that's besides the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Partisan Politics today are nothing. Look what partistan politics led to during Lincoln's time in office. A civil war. Today it's two senators appearing on TV, and arguing over an issue.

Firestarter 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2004 Lincoln was arguably the best President ever. I'm sure if he was alive today he would be disgusted by all the partisan politics. Hilarious. I love this earnest, prissy, holier-than-thou attitude towards "partisan politics" - the idea that a few centuries ago, the entire realm of politics was devoted entirely to the betterment of the nation as a whole and no one would ever have dreamed of advancing a partisan agenda. After all, don't you know, the Founding Fathers prefaced every single point they ever made with something like "I say, I'm most terribly sorry to offer a different view on the matter, old boy, and I do hate to be a bother, but I was rather wondering if we could work out a compromise of sorts, what?" And you picked President Lincoln for your poster boy? President Lincoln?! Honestly, JMA, were you drunk last night or are you really just this godforsakenly ignorant? (We are talking about Abraham Lincoln, right? The 16th President of the United States? There wasn't a, say, President Huey Lincoln somewhere back there, who's escaping my recollection?) Here's what your favourite President said about your favourite party. Enjoy. "I will say now that there is a sentiment in the country contrary to me - a sentiment which holds that slavery is not wrong, and, therefore, it goes for the policy that does not propose dealing with it as a wrong. That policy is the Democratic policy, and that sentiment is the Democratic sentiment." - Abraham Lincoln 10/13/1858 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure that his feelings for Lincoln are not based on which party he was apart of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
