Who do you want to be President in 2009?

I chose other Democrat, I really like Phil Bredeson. He'll never get a sizable campaign going, but it's my ideal pick for '08.

You must not live in TN. He is running our state into the ground financially.

Too much blame on him for that, I think. Probably would be a big issue in the campaign, though.

Wes Clark is easily my choice.

The support of Clark by Democrats appears to be due to an inferiority complex. Unable to be behind a strong defense and to stand up to terrorism, they support so-called war heroes to make it seem like they are solid on defense.

It didn't work in 2004, people didn't buy Kerry as war hero. Why do they think it will work in 2008 with Clark?

He didn't say he thought it would work. The question was who do you want to be president.

[John Ho]

Cause he was a 4 star General, Rhodes scholar, intellectual heavyweight, was right about needing more troops in Iraq, right about Iraq being a strategic mistake distracting from a war on Al Quaeda; And Americans are tired of a Chicken Hawk President who surrounds himself with Chicken Hawk yesmen (+ Condi) while forcing out Colin Powell, nominates a ridiculous candidate for Associate Justice likely due to her pro-big business background rather than fulfilling the promise he made to his far right wing base because he is either politically crippled due to disaster Katrina or just flat out lied to his base about sharing their values, and who's sucked at almost everything he's done while in office? And that Bush-stink will infect every likely Republican candidate except for John McCain.

That being said, I'm bullish on Gore, Clark, McCain, and Hillary. In that order. If John Edwards is the candidate I will puke.

Why do I think it will work this time? It must be my inferiority complex. Hey, at least you haven't called anyone in this thread a bigot (yet).

Clark is a 4-Star General who graduated first in his class from West Point and oversaw a successful nation building operation that cost the lives of exactly ZERO US troops. The funny thing is, if he ever won the nomination (an admitted long shot) I am sure that the RW attack machine would use the same vigor to smear his service that they used to defend G-Dub's lack of service.

Clark is also extremely strong on domestic issues that I value as well, so I feel that he is the best candidate to a) defend this country, and b) help us to prosper.

Do I think it will work 'this time'? I think it could; Kerry and Clark are not the same candidate (although the RW will do everything they can to compare the two).

I do welcome you, though, to continue your apparent unwavering support for this administration and it's monkey-[censored]-a-football policies. To paraphrase the man himself, you're all doin' a hell of a job. To me, the question isn't whether or not Clark will 'work'. The question is how can you possibly think that 4-8 more years of continuing President Retard's policies will lead to any different result than the abject failure that they've produced to this point.

P.S. 'So-called' war heroes? Are you honestly saying that Clark isn't a war hero?

>>The support of Clark by Democrats appears to be due to an inferiority complex. <<

This Republican administration failed to prevent 9/11, lied to get us involved in a quagmire in Iraq in which thousands of US troops have been killed and wounded - and *had those lies exposed, has caused the federal deficit to explode to historically unprecedented levels, presided over a 4 year increase in poverty levels reversing a long downtrend in poverty, has caused an increase in anti-American hatred worldwide to levels never before seen, caused environmental rape on a massive scale, has a failed energy policy inadequate to cope with an explosive rise in gasoline heating oil and natural gas prices, and has numerous figures under indictment or investigation for various gross abuses of power.

"Inferiority complex?" ROTFLMAO.
