WEBB AMENDMENT- Wes CLARK kicked some "Vet for Freedom" (aka RW Org) ASS on Hardball!
Edited on Wed Sep-19-07 04:48 PM by FrenchieCat
Clark was in support of the Webb Amendment......and the little RW Vet was against it.

Clark kicked some serious ass in this debate. It was beautiful to behold! Please catch a rerun if you can. Was on at about 2:35, pacific time.

I'll post the footage when I locate it!

:headbang:

4. Wasn't it Glorious? Someone must have forgotten to tell the
young Vet "dude" that Wes was also Top of his class at West Point AND a Rhodes Scholar.

If this is the best representative that the GOP can do on military issues such as this, they are in for some constant ass whoopin'!

LOL!

5. Arrogant little asshole,
I'd like to know what troops he's speaking for. Wes did great, but it was insulting for Matthews to try match him with that clown.

7. It wasn't insulting.....it was a good thing......as we want WEBB's amendment to pass......

22. It's true..the rw not only hate
the troops they want them killed because they're not wanting to give them any rest between deployments. The troops deaths are on those who voted against the Webb Bill..and that means joe lieman.

9. I'll catch the 4PM repeat
Wes is one of, if not the best, debaters around. He takes on the opposition like they are rubber duckie chew toys.

10. Tweety has Joan Walsh on. She is one of the few people on this planet
that I truly hate. While she is at Salon.com, no monies of mine will ever go for a membership.

Is this the same show that aired earlier, or a new one? He hasn't mentioned Clark here, Austin.

21. That National Guard guy gets his talking points from the White House.
He let this slip inadvertently on one of his past tv appearances. This is probably why he came out with, "General you're wearing your political hat." I'm sure he was told ahead of time to work in that statement.

Wes looked tired. I thought I detected a fleeting moment of fatherly compassion on his face. Maybe he's sad that this guy is so misguided and is so obviously being used.

23. Thanks for that link
The general had the last say. He was brilliant to say that the president hasn't asked the country to sacrifice equally for this war. No draft, no taxes nothing. It's all been on the sacrifices of these military families and it's not fair.

They are overtaxed and they need a break. Yes it might be a Congressional strategy to reel back the president, but it's fair. If bushie wants to continue the war then he has to make sacrifices. The coward would rather just use the very last drop of blood those troops have to give.

And fuck those republican bastards that voted against fairness for our troops! Both of our Texas Senators Cornyn and Hutchison voted against fairness for our troops. They're treating them like slaves.

32. I did catch it.
"A cat can look at a King, can't they?"

Clark had the patience of a parent with a cranky 2 year old. And that would pretty much describe the relative maturity of the two.

27. We need to find out.........and have Vote Vet make a "perfect"
commercial about that one!

On 2nd thought, considering that Clark, Solz and Webb are involved....I'm sure they are filming the ad as we speak! :)

29. I assume that Elizabeth Dole voted NO.
There is a 50/50 chance that a vet who fought in Afghanistan will be running against her. He is in the decision making process right now. As a member of the NC Statehouse, he has been very involved in helping vets and their families. I wonder if this vote will influence his decision.

30. I was disturbed, though...
...by Clark's comments about an extended U.S. presence in Iraq, and how the troops should be supported so they can maintain what sounded like Bush policy.

31. That's because of your selective hearing..........
this was a debate, and Clark was illustrating that the GOP can't support the troups and treat them like slaves at the same time.

The war is not over....and in fact, until Bush leaves, it won't even begin to end. You know how much time that is? It's a damn long ass time...especially for those there fighting!

33. Webb Amendment should be attached to every bill...
If the Republicans won't accept it, they can shut down the friggin' government.
