I'm not easily convinced.

3. I am not convinced at all!
More and more will be coming out about the general. Pay attention.

7. Not jumping on the Clark bandwagon
Whats the big deal about Clark? I don't get it. He hasn't shown us anything. He looks to nervous and tense when he speaks. maybe it will get better, but I am not sold on him. My pick is for Dean. Now he comes across as a leader

;-)

11. I think he looks magnificent
Very calm and very comfortable when he speaks. Straight-forward and honest with a real in-depth knowledge of areas all over the world and what it will take to handle the situations. Unlike Dean who doesn't even know the difference between a terrorist and a soldier. Kerry is my first pick, but I'd vote for Clark, Edwards, or Gephardt before I even looked at the Dean bandwagon.

4. Then choose Dean, or Kucinich, or Kerry, or CMB,
or one of the red-blooded Democrats. Whatever floats your boat.

5. He'll have a "D" next to his name.
If he makes you nervous, you can always vote for that other fella, Bush.

6. Having a "D" next to his name
means diddly squat.

9. If he doesn't make you nervous, why don't you vote Bush?
Frankly, Clark makes me MORE nervous than Bush does. At least I know what to expect from Bush. I'm not surprised when he praises Rice at Republican fundraisers.
I won't vote for Bush, thanks all the same, but there are other options than being made a fool of by a 4-star phony. If Clark's the man, I will have to write in a Democrat.

15. How about some substance?
What do you expect from Clark, and why?

14. What's the point?
Is there something about those 4 stars I just don't get? Is the rank of general or the display of stars supposed to mean that the issues don't count? We're just supposed to feel comforted and secure because our big brother/father with the stars will make everything ok? No need to question....

Why are military leaders afforded more trust/respect/unquestioning support than leaders from other walks of life? Or are they?

16. This is a question for Carl Sagan
I'm almost sure four stars outweigh/outrank a white dwarf.

And that's not just one point, it's four.

:silly:
