I agree bill - you do need core values and beliefs as a politician. You're actually doing a far better job of being Bush that Bush is - why don't you give him a hand ???? |

Oh puhleeze. I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner, but the tears were rolling down my face from laughter. No offense, but your "analysis" is still based on feelings, while mine was based on events. (P.S. "Karl" Rove) Judge Pickering: Why would President Bush have to appeal to his conservative base. They LIKE HIM and aren't going anywhere. To where would they go? Clark? Lieberman? Clinton? While conservatives (like myself and most of my local RNC chapter) are not thrilled with the spending, we recognize its necessity. We have strongly petitioned that he lift steel tariffs. Conservatives will NOT stay home in 2004. Why? Because they learned their lesson in 1992. Pickering had 54 votes for confirmation, but because of this "gentlemen's filibuster" he needed 60. Fortunately current Senate Majority Leader Frist has some balls that Trent Lott didn't. He's going for the REAL filibuster, so the left had better rent some cots. I see you have taken statistics, and you even said how easy it was to dispute the results (and SKEW the results), yet you still seemed to cling to the veracity of the CNN/McPaper/Gallup poll. As I've said to a lot of my Democrat friends... think with your brain, don't feel with your heart. |

just saw Clarke speak in person for the first time - not bad, a bit nervous and tentative, but after a bit of time on the hustings I think he'll develop nicely. Clarke / Dean ticket from the Dems maybe ???????? (haven't heard Dean speak yet.) |

Hi, nztrekkie. I agree with you - General Clark certainly has a presence. He is intelligent and articulate. I think you're right - a little more time "in the spotlight" will allow him to mature a bit - and will also let the American public decide if he's a guy that they can imagine in the White House. You're exactly right - a Gov. Dean/Gen. Clark ticket was the first rumor that I heard. Now, I'm hearing more and more about a Clinton connection to Gen. Clark (very unappealing to me!). Governor Dean is a politician. He's a physician. He's a fairly good speaker. His image (at the moment) places him among the "hyper anti-Bush" crowd. |
