Reading: The Wall Street Journal
The democrats sound horrific. Tax cut plans (that have to be voted on by a Republican house and senate?), the outrage of the current administration (ho hum)...
Governor Dean and his "promises" (homeland security, fight against aids, more money in education...I really don't know what world he lives in).
What are we missing here?
General Wesley Clark.
I went to a campaign meeting for him last night. I am all about helping him with this nomination, and I really think that, more than anything, he has the most capability to win this fight--We are still in red scare patriotism America, and Bush has allowed American's to live in fear out of anger, and regardless of how incorrect I feel this is, it is what the bulk of Americans seem to want, overall--they may doubt his means, his motives, and his overall results, but the bottom line is people are safe and still scared and they won't vote for a DRAFT DODGER like Dean who has no military knowledge whatsoever. They'll respond the way they did after 9/11 when people were still up in arms about the S. Courts ruling for Bush, yet were most happy with his being Commander in Chief, as they just didn't view Gore as a true leader: They just don't think light weight Democrats can serve our national security interest, plain and simple.
Althought Clark's resume reads like a fantastic secretary of state, he can espouse position papers similar to the other candidates, full of idealism and promise and optimism...but like I said earlier, that won't happen with just his signature. The state of the government remains largely in Republican, conservative hands, and truth be told, that type of idealism and liberal programming can be created out of nothing: a believable and trustworthy military background, regardless of my personal feelings on the whole subject, just cannot.
And yet Dean still leads. Frightening.
Many people who are Democrats say that Clinton was the only Republican that they ever voted for, and I do believe that many people would vote for him again; lets not forget that NO democratic nominee has EVER been successful WITHOUT the support of the South, which Clark has and Dean doesn't.
If Dean continues on this freakish lead to win the nomination, we may as well say Hello to yet another four years underneath the first American dictator we have ever had.
Goddamnit.
