#1 He might cede national defense to the Republicans.

I'm sure glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when I read that. Is this reporter dishonest, or merely stupid? The Democrats ceded national defense to the Republicans over thirty years ago and haven't even tried taking it back any time since then.

Clark wants the Democrats deeply involved in foreign policy and the war, and Dean’s team isn’t as jazzed about that. They see domestic policy and issues like Social Security and the deficit as the keys to success.

To the Democrats, foreign policy and the war are unwelcome distractions from the one game they know how to play: acquiring power by using the government to steal money from one group of Americans and handing it to another group whose votes they want to buy.

The Democrats haven't had a new idea in over forty years. The only things that change from time to time are a) which group they want to steal from, b) which group they want to bestow the "free" lunch on in exchange for votes, and c) what BS justification they offer to excuse the theft.

Howard Dean is the end result of the Democrats' long degeneration into what it has become: the Parasite Party.

#3 I'm not nearly the Evil Genius people think I am. But it's easy to look like one when you're dealing with these people...

#4 Karl, you may not be evil, but you're definitely a genius compared to anyone in the Democratic Party "leadership".

#5 I'm guessing General Sheridan wasn't thrilled and had misgivings with Custer in charge of the 7th Cavalry in the Dakota campaign of 1876 either.

ROFL! You're absolutely right. Put Clark in charge of Heavens Gate...

#8 Yes, one thing you can say in Wes's favor is that he is amazingly lifelike...

#11 Help me out here guys. Dean is the guy who lost to the guy the Dems ran for President who lost because no one could figure out what he stood for even though he had Lots of Plans. And the reason Dean lost to Lots-o-Plans Guy is because Dean was regarded as a loose canon. Am I missing anything here? 'Cause this all sounds totally nutso!

#12 from the same party that conducts national security by slashing the military. Nuff said

#13 Wes Clark, F U. Please go away. You missed your boat. Not that you had a ticket in the first place, but no one likes you. Fade away. Please.

#14 So what if Wesley Clark says so.

Now if Wesley Crusher said so that would be a big deal.

Almost certainly a Democrat, which means both.

Seriously, Democrats ceded national defense around the time I was born.

Who cares? Most of us aren't thrilled with Clark, either, so I guess it evens out.

Dean, on the other hand, it at least entertaining - in a train wreck sort of way. ;-p
