Thread Name: BS: Clark vs Dean
Subject: RE: BS: Clark vs Dean
Personally, I don't care for Dean or Clark. But I will vote for either one of them as a deterrent to Bush.

Dean is not as vocal on gun-control as Kerry. He also is in
a position to support AIPAC which shows some bias there.
I realize that he is a catalyst for those who are emotionally
upset by Bush's antics. I guess the new term for him is that
he's "Butch".

This reinforces my opinion that how a candidate gets elected to presidency may have nothing to do with how he/she runs the country.

Clark has an interesting war record. How about in former
Yugoslavia where as head of the NATO Supreme Command he ordered
British general Sir Mike Jackson to block Russian planes about
to land at Pristina airport causing Jackson, who defied these orders to say "I'm not going to start the Third World War for you."?

Then there's that depleted uranium.

In style, I'll take Kerry or Kucinich.

Kerry is appealing to reason which is not the "Butch" way but
I like it. He seems to have less of an abrasive manner than
the other three. He seems to focus on content over harsh criticism.
Of course, this isn't the popular MO on the circuit these days.
It seems to be something like wanna' beat Bush? Be more like him in style.

Lieberman is too close to Bush and I think that it's OK
that Gore dumped him. Who betrayed who?

Kucinich is my first choice because he is totally reasonable
and consistent but that doesn't buy you a cup of coffee in
a presidential election.

Let's face it. You've got to be some kind of ruthless
power-hungry person to become a US president. Check Neustadt.
