clark: mccain lacks command experience

Published Jul. 1, 2008

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former Democratic presidential candidate now supporting Barack Obama, said Sunday John McCain's military service does not automatically qualify him to be commander in chief.

 

I happen to love these comments by Clark...He's just vastly helped McCains campaign.  Whatcha' gonna' do now, Obama?  Distance yourself from another one of your supporters???

Senator Obama will be a great Commander in Chief get used to it you all! The Republicans wish to talk terrorists baloney as they have failed in the economy of this country and the red neck pro military crazies tow . No iraqi ever took my job away or asked Arabia & China to bail out the USA Treasury,had Bush been a Democrat he would have been impeached for creating a bankrupt beggar nation.

Obama for President no one can do worse than a Republican.

"danriverboy - Thank you for proving my point."

LOL, you're welcome.

They're both so busy promising everything to everybody that it's really a wonder they can even keep up with what's been promised and to whom.

Bottom line is not much of it will get delivered by either of them unless whoever requested put more than a few zeros on the check.

danriverboy - Thank you for proving my point.

now, Clark is crying, say HE'S being "swiftboated"...I guess Obama's gotta throw some red meat to his base, since he's announced his plans to expand the faith-based programs that Bush was bashed for, his change on the FISA legislation, and his change on the Battle for Iraq...they are howling on Huffington Post and DailyKos...

LOL, are you really rationalizing lying as being unimportant if it's perpetrated by one's preferred party or unless it's carried out on a grand scale? Has your entire argument reduced itself to "well, yea, we might be snarkles, but ya'll are bigger snarkles. Ya'll are big ol' SNOTTY BU TT snarkles"?

Sounds pretty 2nd grade playground war to me.

And you compare some ineffective whisper campaign, which most people never heard of, to whoppers like "Bush lied about WMDs", "Al Qedia was not in Iraq before the invasion", "The war is lost", Haditha Marines committed "cold blooded murder" - lie not coming from some low-level cookie cutter operative, but from the very top of the party?

Is that the best you've got to "prove" the republicans lie just like democrats? A little known smear campaign from 4 years ago that wasn't even directed at the other party?

(Oh, and for what it's worth, one of the men chiefly responsible for carrying out that 2000 phone campaign in SC AGAINST McCain, Charlie Condon, ran McCain's 2008 SC primary campaign. Hey, if ya can't beat 'em, hire 'em, right?)

It's sad that the greatest qualification for national office in our modern world, regardless of party, seems to be the willingness to abandon one's principles and do whatever is required to win. In such a world, we've all already lost, if we're honest with ourselves.

:-D

"You are deliveratly misconstruing my point. My point is that the policies and principles of the democrat party, at their core, are based on a fundemental belief in the stupidity of the american people."

Actually, I'm not. I'm just responding to your own statements. Everything you listed is either a case of something you don't like or something you don't want to pay for, and mostly, at least judging from your replies, the latter.

"As far as not being partisan, you can pretend to be whatever you want. As you said, your responses speak for themselves."

You mean the ones where I basically said both parties are garbage? Yup, definitely sounds partisan to me ... LOL

Only one of us has an axe to grind, friend. The other one has given up on the system entirely. I don't trust Dems any more than I do Pubs.

"I'll be the first to admit that the republican party has it's bad apples and has made some mistakes, but when it comes to out right nasty, vicious lies being told by the party for political reasons, the republicans don't hold a candle to the democrats."

Really? Ask McCain how that worked out in South Carolina a few years ago. I imagine he was surprised to find he'd fathered an illegitimate black child, and it wasn't Dems making those phone calls.

No sir, they're both just as corrupt, debased and broken as the other. Neither of them is interested in anything besides being elected or reelected. Everything else that they do, BOTH of them, is geared towards that goal and that goal only.
