Two Days Later

I as well as others are still trying to figure out what happened Monday night. At my caucus there were a lot of Dean supporters and not all of them were young. However Gephardt had the largest contingent and as expected most were UAW members. Kerry also had a number of UAW people which showed me that the union paid attention to the endorsement and then factored in other concerns when choosing their candidate. The rank and file are not the sheep the media sometimes portrays them to be.

What happens now, will Iowa's choices have undue influence on the NH primaries?

The Best Choice for the Democrats and for Our Country

Democrats need to do some real decision making in the next days and weeks and base those decisions on substance, not on the illusion of momentum, which as the Dean campaign has demonstrated, is here today and gone tomorrow. (How long did we hear news anchors start their pieces with the words, “Frontrunner Howard Dean...” Howard Dean’s over-the-top speech, added to some of his past “shoot from the lip” comments, seems to confirm that he lacks judgment. However, people should not rush to support John Kerry on the false notion that his “bump” in Iowa is anything foolproof or lasting. Wesley Clark has the substance that will withstand the ups and downs of any campaign cycle because Gen. Clark has the depth and breadth of experience, charisma, and broad geographical appeal that can bring the Democrats back to the White House in November.

Only Wes Clark has conducted a war successfully, had Head-of-State diplomatic status and responsibilities as NATO SACEUR, successfully negotiated peace agreements, and had direct and successful experience in the business world in several capacities, in addition to being personally responsible for improving quality of life for the military families under his care. Gen. Clark also connects with people. Clark has brought many people to the Democratic Party for the first time. My family and I are now registered Democrats because of our support for Wes Clark, which is motivated by his leadership skills, experience, ability, and character.

Here are some questions we all have to ask ourselves when deciding who would make the best Presidential candidate to overwhelm Bush next November and provide the leadership to put our country on the right track:

"Who besides Wes Clark has successfully conducted and won a war that saved a million and a half ethnic Albanians without the loss of a single American life?"

"Who besides Wes Clark has successfully brought European allies, now estranged from the United States, together to conduct a war with positive results?"

“Who besides Wes Clark has already demonstrated in his career the leadership skills necessary to make lasting, positive changes in the world by inspiring the people under his command and by building consensus with those around him?”

Only Wes Clark has done all these and a myriad of other constructive things for our country and the world. Kerry, in spite of his attempt to capitalize on brief, though laudable, experiences in his past as a soldier, has not done the things Wes Clark has achieved. And if Kerry people say that Kerry has had Senate experience, all we have to ask is, "How did Kerry's Senate experience stop Bush form putting this country in the mess it's in?"

Wes Clark?

1) If history is any indication, Ex military leaders have never really done that great of a job.

2) Why was he fired by the Clinton's and is now being backed by them?

Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like the guy, he just seems a little meek to be a (ex-)military leader. Maybe I have watched Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men to many times, but Wes Clark in no way shape or form does he appear to be a leader.

Now the tough question I have to ask myself, do any of the other candidates?

He was fired because he went

He was fired because he went against orders... Clinton was forced to fire the man and if a great president like Clinton can endorse him... why can't other democrats?

Also Micheal Moore... Director of Bowling For Columbine is endorsing Wes Clark.

Wesley Clark was not fired

Submitted by NHPR Listener on Thu, 01/22/2004 - 14:07.

Wesley Clark was not fired by Clinton, it was a result of a smooth under-the-table action from his fellow generals. Infact, it is known that Clinton was outraged when he first got news of this. General Clark is not a yes man, which explains why he step on many toes. It's good to have a leader who questions other leaders, Clark will do this as president as he has proven in the military.

Also would like to add one more thing thing. Aaron mentioned that ex military leaders have never "done that good of a job." Perhaps Aaron, you are unaware of our first president, GENERAL George Washington!
