Clark/Biden ticket?
Although I think Clark can eat a big pile of balls and is phony, I know he has fooled a lot of people... so:

Clark could be pres with Biden as VP? It would be like a Bush/Cheney team where Cheney holds up the team while Clark is there to bring in the dirtay south vote?

5. Sure, you're not trying to flame
Repeating the old 'he was a Republican' lie isn't flaming.

Like I said, try GD or GD: Politics. You'll be able to sucker plenty of folks into it there. This is the Lounge.

11. Can you provide your "he was a Republican " proof, please
According to Factcheck.org.....you are lying!
http://www.factcheck.org/article97.html
Clark has never been registered as a Republican. During his Army service he registered to vote as an independent (as do many career military officers) in his home state of Arkansas . Clark says he voted for Republican Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan out of concern for national security during the Vietnam and Cold War years. But he says later he found Republicans to be “shrill” and “isolationist.” And so he says he voted for fellow Arkansas resident Bill Clinton and most recently for Al Gore, both Democrats. Clark changed his voter registration to Democrat only after retiring from the Army in 2000

Registered as an Independent

There’s no dispute about Clark ’s voter registration: he was an independent. This by itself means little, however, as nearly 96% of all Arkansas voters express no party preference when registering. Party preference is “optional” on Arkansas ’ voter registration form, and only 2.6% of the state’s residents were registered as Democrats at the end of 2001, according to the most recent statistics published by the Arkansas Secretary of State. Only 1.4% registered as Republicans.

28. BOTH are a "bit iffy" if you ask me...
Clark is not likely to run against Hillary. Might be her VP but he isn't going to take her on head to head. And Biden - PULEASE this is a joke, right? Biden is not going to be on a national ticket. He may have lifelong ambitions, but Al Sharpton is more likable and electable.

Clark can eat a big pile of balls and is a phony

we are fools, and you are the smart one, I presume?

I think that these kind of insults to Democrats of all stripes who admire Wes Clark from a low count poster says everything.

Is the RNC that afraid already? Damn! This is just January of 2005....slow down guy....you have plenty of time.


Why so skeered? Y'all just stole and won didn't ya?

17. Clark, maybe. Biden? The stupid mouth that never closes? NO.
I might vote for Clark, but if he was dumb enough to choose "See me, I'm on TV!" Biden, I'd look elsewhere.

22. BIden?
He ran for president once and the plagarism thing killed him in the primaries. He also comes across as pompus, very smart but pompus.

How about Clark/Bayh or Clark/Richardson or just about anyone but Biden.

Scared little wimpy Freepers are afraid the race will come down to handsome, smart and charismatic Clark versus lumpy Bush III or cadaverous Frist.

35. You obviously know nothing about Wes Clark!
"You will determine whether rage or reason guides the United States in the struggle to come. You will choose whether we are known for revenge or compassion. You will choose whether we, too, will kill in the name of God, or whether in His name, we can find a higher civilization and a better means of settling our differences"-- General Wesley Clark, Seton Hall address.

"I believe in an America that leads by caring and listening -- in the America of the New Frontier, the New Deal, the Marshall Plan, and the moon shot. The kind of America that inspires all of us to embrace the future, to feel excited at the dawn of a new day, and to view the past as prologue, not a prison. In short, I believe in an America that is determined to do good and dares to be great. One that pushes the frontiers of human potential in the sciences and education ... in health and the arts."
Wesley Clark-January 10, 2004

"And now I dream of an even greater America than my grandparents viewed from the ship's railing, an America where we live in peace and harmony; not just amongst ourselves, but with our neighbors around the world. I can see such a place. To me, it's just over the next hill. And I guess when you get right down to it, I'm an old soldier. And I always believe in taking the next hill. I believe that we can get there, that together we can create a world in which all our children are able to fulfill the promise of their own destiny. We can do this; we must do this, for it's our duty, our honor, and our country." - Gen. Wesley K. Clark (Ret.)

"Nothing is more American; nothing is more patriotic; than speaking out, questioning authority and holding your leaders accountable."
Wes Clark

And if there's one thing I learned during my thirty-four years in the Army, it's that real leadership comes from acting and doing. Not talking and debating. It comes from setting real goals, and being held accountable for achieving them. It's about putting the nation's interests above any personal or political interests. And I simply couldn't stand by and watch the country I fought for unravel before my eyes, while the people in Washington did nothing to stop it. I had to stand up for the ideas and the values I believed in. -Wes Clark in Tulsa 1-28-04

"Wes Clark is a man of whom you can ask a question, and he will look you directly in the eye, and give you the most truthful and complete answer you can imagine. You will know the absolute truth of the statement as well as the thought process behind the answer. You will have no doubt as to the intellect of the speaker and meaning of the answer to this question....
So you can see, as a politician, he has a lot to learn." --- Mario Cuomo
