& Whatcha' Gonna' Say if Demon Clark becomes the VP of

[Starpass]

the greatest, most honorable, decent, really liberal (cough, cough), best governor, hates corporate Amureka, most pure Democrat who ever walked planet Earth ---HOWIE THE DEAN???? Oh, do I hear back track, back track, track back and spinning that would make Rove proud??? I demand that if Dean becomes the nominee he pickes a fellow soul mate like Dennis or Sharpton or Ralph Nadar or, you know, people that he seems to be selling himself as being. If he picks Clark, I will know that Dean is a lying, hypocrite.........correct?--I DEMAND PURE (and I'm sure getting it from Dean--pure "what" will surface, eventually).

1. Deep breathing

it helps

[HFishbine]

2. You

might ask yourself the same question.

[Starpass]

7. He'll never pick Dean

Dean if from a politically unimportant state. One general who is spitting on the war is okay. He has the stars to back it up. If he put Dean on the ticket, it delutes things to look like he's as anti-defense as the repukes always paint the liberals. It's overkill. He will pick another southern boy like Edwards in order to do the double bang on the South like Clinton and Gore did.

[HFishbine]

13. But

That wasn't your premise. What are you going to say if Dean picks Clark as you posited? Will you continue to mock Dean?

[Brian Sweat]

33. He wasn't mocking Dean, just the Dean supporters

who are trashing Clark and questioning his Ideological purity.

[Brian Sweat]

34. As a Clark supporter who also like Dean (and his non-bashing supporters)

I don't have a problem with Dean as a running mate if Clark gets the nomination. I am sure that there are one or two Clark supporters around here that attacked Dean, but for the most part we have not. We have not backed ourselves into a wall on this issue.

There are quite a few Dean supporters attacking Clark. Before they attacked Clark, they attacked every other Democratic candidate.

[Sagan]

3. I love you, Starpass...

But this primary is driving you over the brink. It's politics, man. Chill out. This ain't religion.

[CentristDemocrat]

4. I doubt Clark accepts the VP from Dean

I don't think Wesley Clark would want to ruin his career by being associated with the inevitable trainwreck that would be a Dean WH run.

[hedda_foil]

5. Not banned yet, CD?

Yawnnnnnnnnn

[CentristDemocrat]

9. Hit a nerve?

The truth hurts.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

"CentristDemocrat" is the karma I was talking about, Dean people

hate to say I told you so :) "Dean is just too far left to win" - funny isn't it since Dean's a centrist? Doesn't really matter, the attack still works.

[davidinalameda]

6. why would he accept the VP post from Dean

especially when it won't be Dean's to offer

[CentristDemocrat]

10. Agreed (nm)

[joeybee12]

11. Dear Centrist--put down your DLC newsletter

and realize that if Dean gets the nomination, he will trounce Dumbo.

I truly believe Clark will accept the VP slot--he probably should have just waited out--the expectations are so high for Clark that he wont be able to deliver, and if he comes across as anything less than the Messiah, he will start getting negative press.

Except, of course, from Tweety, who gets an erection when Clark is near.

[CentristDemocrat]

14. Wake up from your dream.

No governor from Vermont (who most people probably can't point out on a map) will be elected President. It is a state of less than a million people with little to no minorities and no real relevance to anything. Yes, Dean did yada yada in Vermont, and so that = it working nationally? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[StopTheMorans]

17. wake up from your dream

no general has been elected in 50 years, and can you name the last DEMOCRATIC general to be elected? Good luck.

[CentristDemocrat]

18. Many Generals have been president.

No poorly-spoken, out of touch governors from the most irrelevent state in the union have. Maybe next time we can nominate the governor of Alaska!! It's the same fucking thing.

[StopTheMorans]

21. hey buddy

did you forget the last democratic president, a former governor from the small, "irrelevant" state Arkansas? Apparently. ANd I never argued that no generals had been president. Rather, I stated that no general has been president in 50 years, and no dem has for a much longer period. And, Clark is unlike nearly every other general who has been elected in recent memory: He has no superstar role from a defining conflict that changed the nation (Eisenhower had star power from WWII).

[CentristDemocrat]

22. Arkansas is not irrelevent.

It is a southern state with strategic importance. It has minorities. It has more than a million people. Dean is from the most politically WORTHLESS state in the Union.

[StopTheMorans]

23. do you have any numbers to back that up?

Vermonts population is larger than a number of other states, how the hell can you call it irrelevant? By continuing to post unfounded statements of your own creation that have no facts to back them up, you are in grave danger of rendering yourself irrelevant;)

[CentristDemocrat]

24. How can I call it irrelevant?

Have you ever been there?

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. Why don't you start Northern Yankee Bashing, CD?

DU's New Englanders and New Yorkers await your words of wisdom with baited breath.

:eyes:

[StopTheMorans]

28. do you ever post any rebuttals, to anything?

It seems to me that since you can't refute anything, you just insist on calling people names, and if that doesn't fail to convince, you can always trot out your oh-so-clever "Kucinich, Dean, or Green?" That's a hit with the kids and sure to knock 'em dead every time. Seriously, until you start backing up your posts with facts, you will continue to alienate people from even looking at your positions and/or considering Clark.

[Brian Sweat]

40. I think we should thank CD for taking the time to educate us

while he is so busy guarding his bridge from those awful billy goats.

[StopTheMorans]

44. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

too funny:)

[StopTheMorans]

32. CentristDemocrat, still waiting for a rebuttal, on anything

<sound of crickets>

[Kathy in Cambridge]

42. CD Went to Lunch

at the Republican Club, or he sleeps with the fishes.

[StopTheMorans]

46. have Karl Rove and CD ever been seen at the same time?

n/t ;)

[Brian Sweat]

38. Andrew Jackson

[StopTheMorans]

39. thank you Brian Sweat:)

I honestly didn't know the answer to that.

[StopTheMorans]

15. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Dear Centrist--put down your DLC newsletter" that is good. But now that leaves you open to Centrist's "bunker-buster" post guaranteed to quash any dissent and leave you flummoxed: "Kucinich, Dean, or Green". PLEASE DON'T DO IT, I BEG YOU, I DON"T KNOW HOW TO REFUTE THAT!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHA

[Nashyra]

29. If Clark does not get the nomination and Dean does

I think he will probably need Clark as the VP, any candidate will because the media has created a need for a candidate strong on National Security. They will tout this issue to the extreme unless there is a candidate who can refute it with his mere presence, then it is not worth the time and effort. I would not go as far as to say that Dean can trounce *, I think that a Dean/Clark or Clark/Dean ticket has a very good chance of beating *, perhaps the best but it is a long time before the election, alot can happen. By the way I prefer a clark/Dean ticket but when I respond to a Dean supporter or an undecided I usuaully post the Dean/Clark ticket first out of respect for the fact that Dean was in the race first and in fact he is the front runner right now, if that changes I will post Clark/Dean first. Just trying to be respectful to those I might end up working with because the nomination is nowhere wrapped up by anyone, and I will work my but off for whoever the nominee is.

[Brian Sweat]

36. I think it is an RNC newsletter.

[Brian Sweat]

35. As a Clark supporter,

I would like to dissasociate myself from these remarks. I do not believe the represent the views of true Clark supporters.

I also believe that the poster knows something about supporting a candidate who's white house is a train wreck.

[PAMod]

8. I'm gonna say "Let's get on with it!"

or maybe "Finally that's over, now we can talk about what's REALLY important - how to win the White House".

Another question for DU'ers, "Whatcha gonna say when the candidate you have been bashing is the nominee?"

Keep your eyes on the prize!

[KC21304]

16. Oh, have you ever got that right !

No bashing from this Kerry supporter. I hate the taste of that black bird.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

12. Dean a soulmate of Kucinich Sharpton or Nader?

You must be kidding - Dean is a right-winger, the opposite of Kucinich Sharpton or Nader, and Nader's not even a Democrat. What's the point of this anyway?

The Clark people have official surpassed the Dean people as the most ridiculous candidate pimpers of DU, in my opinion. McAullife has obviously been paying attention to the Dean internet machine - God help us all!

[StopTheMorans]

19. WCTV, don't agree with you often, but this phrase had me dying:)

"The Clark people have official surpassed the Dean people as the most ridiculous candidate pimpers of DU". "candidate pimpers", I love it:)

[clar]

20. Your increasingly hysterical posts

are actually a little frightening.

[cmd]

25. Starpass is saying in her own unique way

Knock off the bashing. You don't know who is going to be sleeping with who at the end of the run. Keep your eye on the ball. Home plate is a long way off.

[HFishbine]

27. Yes

but she takes a swipe at Dean while doing it. Doesn't seem sincere.

[Brian Sweat]

41. I disagree.

She is taking a swipe at some of Dean's supporters. There is a difference.

[HFishbine]

47. Okay

fine. She takes a swipe at Dean supporters. Doesn't seem sincere.

[Jacobin]

30. So, who is your candidate?

[JNelson6563]

31. Another well thought out

helpful post. Ah the discussion in GD these days is really something. This thread is sad. The hatred present is disheartening.

I'm glad I don't waste such space in my head on hatred for candidates of my own party. I'd rather use the available space and energy in unseating the Simian but hey, that's just me.

[CMT]

37. Howie the dean has a very cordial relationship with

Wesley the general. It would not surprise me if he was picked. I would prefer someone like Bob the Graham though as Howie's running mate.

[JNelson6563]

48. that would be a strong ticket

very strong. Dean/Graham.

Julie

[quinnox]

43. It ain't gonna happen

I would gladly accept the odds (whatever they may be currently in Vegas) that Dean won't be the nominee.

[StopTheMorans]

45. thank you oh omnipotent one

and where exactly can I get my crystal ball too? :eyes:
