Have to admit, Clark on a Kerry ticket is something the repukes fear!

[jpgpenn]

It could be VP, Sec. of State or Sec. of Defense and this alone will be enough to leave the repukes shitting themselves!

[demdevil]

1. I think Clark will most definitely be up there with them...

I'm hoping for a Kerry/Clark ticket myself. I think it would draw a lot of votes from both the north/south/east and west. I know it would be a winning ticket.

[newyawker99]

52. Hi demdevil!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ronnykmarshall]

2. B, bu, but!

What about that, that, RUMMOR???!!!


Huh? HUH? What about it??

How come you're not talking about THAT????? So much for 'electability', now. Huh, smarty pants!!!

[jpgpenn]

3. explain!

I don't get your post.

[ronnykmarshall]

4. It's a parody

of some of the crap that been written the last 24 hours.

[jpgpenn]

5. got it

[ronnykmarshall]

7. I knew ya would!

I will be thrilled if it's Kerry/Clark.

I'm going to take one of my extra Clark sticker and make up my own Kerry/Clark sticker!

[Kahuna]

6. They fear Wes more than anything. They know Wes..

has them in his sights. They can see orange jumpsuits and GITMO in their futures if Clark gets anywhere near the White House.

[MoonRiver]

The General shoots to kill. All he has to do is transfer his military

know-how to the political arena. Then he can pretend he's drawing a bead on Milosovec when he stares Cheney's chickenhawk face down in the debates! :D

[hlthe2b]

8. VP, Sec. of State, Defense Sec., NSC advisor, ...........

Can he come back into the military to be Chariman, Joint Chiefs of Staff? Any military folks know?

[jpgpenn]

11. why would he want that title...

over Sec. of Defense?

[LandOLincoln]

14. Wes is ineligible for Secretary of Defense. He hasn't

been out of the military long enough. He needs to have been out at least 5 years.

[jpgpenn]

18. I wasn't aware of this!

Do you have a link for this? Thanks for the input!

[Shanty Oilish]

24. No link but it's the Natl Security Act of 1947...

Sec 202a I think. A person who has been on active duty as a commissioned officer shall be ineligible.

[Shanty Oilish]

28. Here's one...

http://classes.lls.edu/spring2003/natsec-manheim/materials/nsa1947_short.pdf

"a person who has within ten years been on active duty as a commissioned officer in a Regular component of the armed services shall not be eligible for appointment as Secretary of Defense."
It's 202a.

[jpgpenn]

31. Many Thanks!

:toast:

[LandOLincoln]

37. Ooops, better make that "Secretary of Defense" instead of

Secretary of State.

Besides, there's no way Colin Powell has been out for ten years, is there? When did he retire?

[Shanty Oilish]

45. Thanks---had a spell of Mommyitis there

Kid going mommymommymommy at me while I'm typing! :)

[jpgpenn]

30. I'm sure someone can help out with the link..

As i'm on much needed relaxation time, I have to pass on the search! Thanks for the further input!

[hlthe2b]

21. Which one?

[jpgpenn]

23. Chairman Joint Chiefs

[hlthe2b]

44. Just curious, I guess. Can you explain the hierarchy

between Chairman Joint Chiefs, NSC Advisor, Defense Secretary? Am I correct in assuming NSC and Defense Sec are similar in terms of "level" and Chairman Joint CHiefs is less senior to both?

[Leilani]

50. No

Joint Chiefs are active duty people & Wes would not qualify.

Clark people: remember not to get carried away; Kerry has his own team of people that he works with, & I'm sure they would get the jobs.

I'd love to see Wes in a top position, but I don't know that it will happen.

[hellhathnofury]

9. I give you the inexperienced, old, corrupt and uninspired!

Plus send note in form of election when you are done mutilating them,

Thank you.

The media, DNC.

[ronnykmarshall]

10. Great screen name.

[hellhathnofury]

12. Merci,

I'll be speaking French alot after this election, good to get in practice.

[ronnykmarshall]

17. LOL!

Don't forget to quit bathin'. Ya know how them French are. :silly:

[hellhathnofury]

19. Ugly American....

The French people are impeccably clean, for your information. To suggest otherwise borders on slander.

[jpgpenn]

40. I give you...

The Experienced, New and Above Reproach in finding steps that are needed to change a system that has taken our value system away!

Clark in ANY administration will provide just that!

[West Coast Democrat]

13. Damn Right!

Heeee Heeee!!!

[KFC]

15. Kerry/Clark is looking like a done deal

Especially after today

[drfemoe]

16. So General Clark changed his mind

and is now interested in veep? Do you have a statement?

[jpgpenn]

22. Where did you get my opinion confused with Clarks?

for what it's worth, while he was "running" for Pres. how could he possibly consider VP.? Now that he is outa the race VP. thoughts are more then prudent!

[drfemoe]

26. Oh, it's not just your opinion

there's been a lot of talk about Clark for vp since day before yesterday. I was just wondering if it is opinion, or if there was a statement, press release, something. No offense intended.

[jpgpenn]

34. none taken

I haven't really seen posts relating to Clark as VP.

[WiseMen]

48. Always willing to partner with Kerry. Not with Dean. Has been well known

[Kahuna]

51. Clark only ruled out being veep for Dean. Said he didn't...

want to be Dean's Dlck Cheney. :evilgrin:

[w4rma]

20. Both Clark and Edwards would make a fantastic choice.

(Assuming that Clark is willing to be Kerry's "Cheney".) I'd like to find a way to get both of these fine individuals a position of power. Maybe one in a cabinet spot and the other as VP.

This would work for either a Dean or Kerry administration.

[jpgpenn]

25. "Kerry's Cheney"? what the hell does that mean?

Am i to assume that since that nazi bastard assumed the role of VP. all future VP. choices are going to be referred to as such and such's Cheney?

Give it a rest! We don't need that within our party at this time. Surely you can see that.

[drfemoe]

actually those were Clark's words ..

when vp came up in prior interviews.

[jmaier]

33. I think he specifically said

that he wouldn't be Howard Dean's Cheney and that national security credentials needed to be on the TOP of the ticket. It's a different dynamic with Kerry.

[jpgpenn]

38. I'm sure it was stated in much clearer context...

then what the poster above has reported!

[jpgpenn]

36. Post link to full statement...

not your edited version!

[MoonRiver]

27. I've got it!! No really.

Edwards for Attorney General! He's an experienced trial lawyer, and OMG, what a wonderful breath of fresh air after asscrotch.

42. No quarter.

:evilgrin:

[shivaji]

47. its TERESA and pronounced terreza

[LiberalTexan]

39. Kerry/Clark is something I FEAR

and I'm far from being GOP. Kerry turns me off alone. I hope he at least picks a running mate I can stomach.

[jpgpenn]

43. Well that sounds a bit negative...

Im curious on who you would think would make a great pick?

[shivaji]

46. yep, they are shaking in their boots not knowing where Clark would

contradict himself next. But hey, what's a campaign without
some good ole gaffes.

[Nicholas_J]

49. The fear they have of Kerry has already been seen

In the rather unsourced Drudge Allegations.

Another right wing source is doing what I said the right wing media would do about this in another post.

Mens News daily, a site that claaims it out Drudges Drudge, is now claiming that the major media silence on the allegations set forth by Drudge is part of a media blackout on the part of the all powerful Liberal media

at:

http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/newswire/news2004/0204/newswire021304-kerry.htm )

They point out the New York Times defense of Kerry against Recent Republican attacks as proof of this.

There have ben a number of inconsistancies of the descriptiom of the woman herself. Drudge gives the age as 24, another international, gives her age as 37(Hindustani Times). The other right wing source, Mens news daily says 22.

Drudge and the Mens News daily descrive Pollier as:

According to news reports across the Internet and in various international publications, Democratic Presidential front-runner John Kerry may have had an extramarital affair with a 22-year old blonde intern.

The photo and description in Murdochs London Sun:


Presidential hopeful Kerry, dubbed the new JFK, has denied claims he had a two-year fling with brunette Alex Polier. Alex, 27, was a cross-country runner and in the world affairs club at her Philadelphia school.

And now we have another damned age.





One of the sources states she is in London, another states Africa.

The British sources which have picked up the story are also, British Right wing rags The London Sun which was one of the first papers outside of Drudge to pick up the story is Rupert Murdochs main British tabloids.

As is the Hindustan Times.

Another British Paper, "The Scotsman" is also a Murdoch paper, and also there was a link on Drudges site that linked to an article covering Drudges allegations in an Australian Paper. Guess who owns that paper...Murdoch again.

So far, all of the international papers that heve picked up the Drudge Story and allegations about Kerry are all London Sun, like tabloids owned by Murdoch.

Her photo, with this A.P. release shows a slightly aerage looking woman with black or extremely dark brown hair:

http://www.s-t.com/topics/mm/story8.htm

Thats weird...

In the process of tracing back the inconsistancies in Drudges allegations, I just discovered that the international papers that have picked up and carried Drudges report in British and Australian papers are owned by Murdoch...
