Clark supporters and Everyone Who's Interested in a Real |
|
Washington-Outsider Candidate.....
Kerry may win tomorrow, and Dean may place second (God Love Him, after the shit he's been through), and Edwards may take third.
I really don't give a shit if Clark takes fourth, as long as he continues to fight for my values and beliefs. But let me speak to all the people who are interested in a true Washington outsider right now.
Those who cave into the right-wing are wrong period. Statements like Kerry saying Floridians need to stop crying in their tea-cups and move one, and Edwards tonight, We don't need that type of Rhetoric on the Iraq War, this is Wrong!
Has everyone forgotten that the state the election was stolen in was being governed by the brother of the thief that stole it?
Has everybody forgotten that the Iraq War was really the first time that this country went and attacked another country without a clear and present danger to our society? (Side Note: We have burned over two-hundred years of respect in the world community earned via the Blood of Fallen Heroes who were always fighting for the DEFENSE of Democracy and a Free Society).
I hope and pray tonight before I go to bed, that true Democrats will come to their senses, and realize that you don't reward those who have failed to carry the banner of their core supporters.

6. Sometimes I just sit and ask myself... |
|
Why weren't the Senators (with the exception of Lieberman) saying the things that they are saying in the midst of campaigning on the Senate floor?
Why were Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd left alone to battle the neo-cons?
Where were Biden and Clinton and Daschle and yes... Kerry and Edwards when we needed them most?
Where has civility gotten us, besides stabbed in the back (NCLB) and steamrolled (Patriot Act)?
In a sense, I feel like Kerry and Edwards had a chance to prove themselves these past couple of years (post-Sept. 11th) and they've failed us. I'll support them wholeheartedly if either one should get the nomination, but I want change. I want radical, grab-you-by-the-roots-of-your-hair change. I DO want someone outside of mainstream Washington as President.

9. Tatiana you expressed my feelings exactly! |

Kerry and Edwards had their chance to stand up against what W was doing to this country and they chose not to.
They let me down by not vigorously challenging W and his men. It wasn't "popular" then and they chose to play it safe and sit idly by to protect their political careers.
They showed no courage then. It's only now that they are saying the things that so many of us were saying then. I was a Dean supporter before Clark got into the race because I vowed way back then that I would NOT ever be able to support those senators who couldn't find the courage to take on W when it mattered most!

I lived in a nation of fools when the majority of people in this country back that pathetic caricature of man in the white house in his quest for bloody oil. I had lost all hope for this country when I saw the original nine democrats. Wes Clark has given me hope that this country may stand a chance of redeeming itself. If Wes does badly tomorrow I refuse to lose hope and I will continue to keep hope alive until the polls are closed in Nov and a winner is declared. If Wes Clark does not win in Nov. he will not be the loser, America will be and maybe we will deserve what we get.
