[Vision2020] Reverse Bush's Policies: General Wesley Clark

[Ted Moffett]

Melynda et. al.

Your points are excellent, but the bottom line for me is, despite Clark's 
shortcomings, can he beat Bush?
This is one case where I will vote for the lesser of two evils.  Dean's 
chances of beating Bush are ZERO!  Clark's chances are more than zero.  The 
agenda of the Bush administration is so egregious that support should be 
given to any Democratic party candidate that does not resemble Attila the 
Hun, Genghis Khan, Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc. even though that candidate 
is less than ideal.  And we have no viable third party to go to.  Like it or 
not, we are stuck in a political environment where the presidency is 
controlled and limited by numerous powerful factions that offer Americans 
only a narrow range of choice.

Dean will NOT become president.  Clark might be able to satisfy the demands 
of the powers that be pulling the strings, while being a large improvement 
over the extreme dangerous agenda of the Bush administration.  Clark would, 
I think, reverse the insane economic policies of the Bush administration.  
For more on this subject read "The Great Unraveling" by economist and 
Princeton professor Paul Krugman for a detailed economic analysis of the 
damage to the USA being done by the Bush administration.
