Dear Bartcop,
I am a 48 year old father
of four sons, one of whom is serving in Iraq. I have never contributed
to any campaigns
before this year because I could not afford it.
With the rise in fascism in the last twenty years here in America
(yes, even during the Clinton years! cheap labor
policies were pursued even then), I felt I could not afford NOT to do
what little I can.
So I sent in two $25
and a $50 donation to Howard Dean because he was the ONLY candidate getting
his message out
against all of the lies of this Bush neo-nazi
administration. I personally had all of the information on
PNAC, the Centgas
pipeline project in Afghanistan, the info
on how the US sold Saddam the Anthrax, VX nerve agent, etc he supposedly
still had (thanks to Barbara Boxer on C-Span).
Most of this information was widely available on the internet long before
the war. How is it that I could be
more informed than Senators Kerry, Edwards, Lieberman and Gephardt??????
Howard Dean was a light
in the darkness, fighting back for what was right. Senator Kerry
and Senator Edwards sound
more like Howard Dean every day NOW. I
hate to say this but I believe Dr. Dean's campaign is done. He will
fight on,
but Gephardt, Lieberman, Rush Limbaugh, and the
controlled TV media have done him in. Our country is led by what
is
shown on TV. It takes a deliberate effort
to stay informed and you are totally misinformed by television news.
Only the
internet provides true news instantly, not at
a later time, when it is too late to affect events.
The American people are oblivious to this.
Those things being
said, I believe Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards are good men and real
Democrats. I wonder if
Edwards is up to the task of challenging Bush
one-on-one. A "nice guy" with a "feel good" campaign of hope
is one thing.
Challenging a constant barrage of lies and disinformation
takes bluntness and toughness along with a quick mind. I believe
John Kerry can take Bush on and hold his own,
and I believe he will work for all Americans, however it does bother me
very
much that he is a member of Skull and Bones.
Then again, his S&B connections could protect him from some of the
smear tactics
used against John McCain and Max Cleland, true
war heroes who were made to look treasonous and unfit to serve our country.
I live
in Maryland and our primary is months away, but Wesley Clark is looking
better to me all of the time. The worst criticism
I have heard of him is that he is a "Republican".
All I can say is that I was once a Republican too, before I realized how
much was
"trickling down" to me. And I am totally
committed to the Democratic party today. Wes Clark has stature, intelligence,
honor and integrity.
I believe Howard Dean has these same qualities,
but the media will not allow him to be President. I can picture Wesley
Clark on stage
debating Bush and getting the TRUTH out.
I will vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination. But for now
I throw my vote out
to General Wesley Clark.

Sidebar:
While out west, I read a book review of "Flyboys."
It might be a puff piece on the "greatness" of George Herbert Herbert
Bush, I don't know,
but the way I remember the review, there were 8-10 pilots shot down
in Bush's squadron.
Bush was picked up by our guys before they could get to him, but the
others were captured by Japan.
They were bayonetted and beheaded - for fighting for America's freedom.
Out of that group, only one came home.
So the next time you hear a dove saying bad things about men in uniform,
do me a favor
and remember those other eight men who didn't get the nice, cushy life
that you and I have had.
You can say anything you like about the idiot who sent them to Iraq
for no reason,
but don't go after the heroes who put everything on the line
because they wanted to help.
Subject: Who I'm voting for and why...
There's no doubt about it--I'm voting for
Clark. Not only is he a decorated veteran, he understands what it
means
to be a patriot, unlike that baby bush
who just decided not to show up in the Texas Air National Guard!
Clark has
also made his stand on women's issues and,
as the president of my university's chapter of NOW, that's rather important.
It's not too often that you find a white
male candidate that admits to the press that he's pro-choice.
On top of everything, he's being endorsed
by THE Michael Moore.
Clark was my choice before the endorsement
and he'll be my choice when all is said and done.

i have become a fan of your bartcop blog and will

i take your media message to be one of a sensible
human being trying find policy and
practice in life that is humane and benevolent.
i appreciate your viewpoints and attitudes
toward our political upheaval. i trust
what you say - generally, that is - but am rather
befuddled by your Clark endorsement ( as others
may be ).
Are we sure that Clark is not part of the plot
to make sure that the "military-industrial complex"
is still in control of the nation's destiny.
What if Clark comes in and plays the same game, and we
have Halliburton still running Iraq, none of
Bush's heinous laws repealed, etc. ?
Please write another article addressing your Clark
endorsement. i think a lot of us "lefties" need
more assurance from you, perhaps much more.
i'll get behind Clark if i can trust him.
Tell me why, or tell -us- why ( your readers,
that is ) we should trust Clark.
We are a cynical bunch, you know.
Many thanks for your consideration and response.

Sheapdog, my biggest reason for backing Clark is I think he has the best chance to win.
You asked, "What if Clark comes in and plays the
same game, and we have Halliburton
still running Iraq, none of Bush's heinous laws
repealed, etc.?"
If Bush wins, we have a guarantee that the Disaster Monkey will
continue the plundering
of weaker countries.. With Clark, we know we'll have change
- and we need that very much.
Subject: Who I'm voting for and why...
Well, I have recently changed my mind. I will
be voting for Clark, but I *REALLY* wanted to vote for Kucinich.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Kucinich
will be doing very much, so I'm following logic on this one and picking
the guy who CAN kick Bush's ass on every issue.
He may not be my ideal choice, but he's got what it takes.
If he's smart, he'll pick either Hillary or even
better - my own state's governor (Jennifer Granholm) as his running mate.
It's about time we had a woman Vice President,
and Granholm is one smart liberal!

I will be voting for Clark. Partly by his
lack of experience. He has no old "bill's" to
political parties. Kerry is a wimp and
in my opinion will be walk over by Dubya.
Dean talks before he thinks and that will win
quick numbers in the polls but in the end
someone like him will slip up and say something
that we will all regret.
Plus Clark although most people do not think so,
a military man can see the big story
and not just one little detail, will act quick
and dicisive. There is true honesty when he talks.
Not some half-ass speech. It is the type
of thing that you can beleve in.
Also I would rub it in the face of Dudya that
he ran from the war of bananas.

Letting the corporate media tell me who I should,

to the Democrat cowards who are jumping at the
chance to give up their souls for some protection
from the boogie man. I almost vomit at the thought
of these people.
In the primaries I'm supporting Dennis Kucinich.
Except for Dennis's illogical support of a flag
desecration amendment, he's an FDR Democrat with
the solutions to get our country up and
running again ( chime in your "unelectable" cowards
blather here )
As it look now in November 2004 I'll be supporting,
voting for, Ralph Nader.
This is an easy call, as Nader will be the only
DEMOCRAT running by then...
Ralph Nader vs. the 2 headed corporate whore.

As it stands today I am still in favor of Dean.
I would love to have the faith in Clark that you do
but there's something about him being able to
say anything about Bush & co, without retaliation
that makes me wonder why?
Why is it that the press vilifies Dean for trying
to rally his team after Iowa, but makes little of team Clark
declaring Bush the deserter he is? Not
having a leg to stand on has never stopped them before.
Also Clark did give the commencement speech at
the CIA's school for terrorists. No mainstream media (US)
has made mention of that fact. By themselves
and before 2000 the media would have had a field day with this info.
Theres just something about having a General
as president and the whole military industrial complex that scares me.
Mim
Wait, President Clark scares you more than Bush?
Subject: Who I'm voting for and why...
Dear Bart,
You probably won’t post this as it is not very
clear cut. But I had to share with you my on the fence attitude
as I don’t think I am the only Dem having trouble
making a decision.
I am having a lot of trouble deciding this time.
I have not voted in the Dem primaries before.
Last two general elections I voted for Nader.
(My state was blue so don’t blame me please).
As of today, I am leaning towards Dean as he is
closest to me on the issues except for Kucinich who is such a long shot.
I have some problems with Clark: He used DU in
the Kosovo conflict which may not have been his call but he was in charge
and he also bombed Serbian civilians, again he
was the guy in charge and does not seem to think there were any problems
with
those decisions, which troubles me a lot.
As I reside overseas I probably care a lot more about foreign policy than
your average
US voter, which makes it a harder decision for
me. However, on the plus side for Clark I love that he came out completely
pro-choice with no cowardly caveats and that
he did that interview with the gay mag saying that he supports gay civil
rights
completely. So I will go with Dean in the
primary but if Clark wins the nomination I will be voting for him in November
and
may the best man win. Someone has to get
Bush out and any of the Dems would do better than him.
So why the hell am I for Dean? Pro-environment,
pro-choice, pro-labor and anti-Iraq war and also involved with the youth
vote
instead of being condescending to them. His positive
attitude towards young people – as people – means a lot to me as I have
two pre-teen children who are going to inherit
the mess we are creating right now.

Kucinich is the most pro-labor and this country

I was unemployed/underemployed for 18 months

I'd still be unemployed if the National Guard

I have ZERO job prospects when we get back.
I'll vote for any other REAL Democrat, but

I've been a fan of John Edwards since Day One.
He's charasmatic. He's a Clinton-style moderate.
He's a great speaker. And, he's a Southern
Democrat, to boot. I think he can take Dubya in the general election.
But, General Clark has me enamored. I know
he has what it takes to beat the Chimp. He's everything that
Senator Edwards is plus a veteran and a four-star
general. I think my "dream team" would be a Clark/Edwards
ticket.
Two Southern Dems on one ticket?? Are you
kidding me?? Bush would be wearing diapers at every debate.

Subject: Who I'm voting for and why...
Dear Bartcop,
I'm voting for Dennis Kucinich. I'm
a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, a Rocket Scientist and a father.
I like most of these Dems over Bush,
but Kucinich is the real deal. He's got more integrity in his pinky
than Bush has in his whole family.
Kucinich (and Sharpton) are the only two
candidates with a plan for Universal Health care. It is widely acknowledged
that our "for-profit"
health care system has failed. Kucinich
speaks the truth - and he was against war in Iraq since the beginning.
Kucinich is a known quantity,
with an extensive (and awesome) voting
record. As co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, he has a *proven* record
of fighting for all Americans.
He's also the only candidate that wants
to trim the Pentagon budget and set new priorities in our nation.
We don't need new nuclear weapons,
but we do need to invest in our schools.
I don't put much faith in these horse-race
polls. I want to vote for who I think is the best candidate, with a clear
eye on the prize.
I've spoken to so many people that say
"I like Kucinich the best, but I don't think he can win". I think
people need to worry less about
who other people like, and more about who
they think is the best choice. In my opinion, Kucinich represents the clearest
choice from Bush,
and will invigorate new voters, and will
stomp Bush.

Yo Bart,
I'm voting for Dean. Why? Well, I'm a self-employed
small busines owner.
My husband & I work hard and make enough
to live on. We can't afford health care for ourselves.
But for the last 6 years our children have had
health insurance thanks to Dr. Dynosaur and Dr. Dean.
When you hesitate to take your child to the doctor's
office because hearing the doctor tell you to give them
over the counter medicine and drink plenty of
liquids, costs $75., you tend to not go.
And sometimes it's more serious.
I'm lucky, so far, cause my husband and I are
pretty healthy.
I know it's a gamble but at least the kids are
covered.
Dean did that.
Kerry/Edwards/Lieberman have had plenty of time
to raise a ruckus and do something.

Because I am firmly convinced that nothing less than the very fabric our nation is at stake, I am voting for either Clark or Kerry.
Currently I am leaning toward Kerry, because of
his long record of supporting reasonable legislation and voting against
the hard right
wing-nut proposals sent up by that c---sucker
Delay. This whole estate tax issue absolutely drives me bonkers because
it goes
completely against the grain of what our founding
fathers fought so hard for. Remember, they specifically did away
with primogenture
(leaving one's estate to the eldest to ensure
the aristocracy would always have an estate, and to keep it out of the
hands of the lower
classes, while the second son usually just joined
the army).
By eliminating the estate tax, which was at one
of its lowest rates in our history of taxation, the annointed has ensured
that affirmative
action for the rich will live on and has created
our own aristocracy of the haves. I saw one of those a--holes
actually bow to the queen
of England, when anyone who has actually studied
the causes of The American Revoloution would know that one of things
we fought for
was not to have to bow to any man or woman.
We are all equal, and none of us is subservient to anyone. Ever.
But, if the s---bag gets
elected, I would not be at all surprised if a
courtly bow was introduced into the White House. The way the press
corps already kisses
the butt of the selected and his minions, reminds
me of nothing more than the courtiers of old Europe.
When the chimp was selected, I figured that since
the repugs knew they had not received a majority of the votes, they would
at least
attempt to govern from the middle.
Instead, they have chosen to disenfranchise over 50% of the population
by ramming their cuckoo
radical right positions down the throats of the
majority of the population who is working so hard, it barely has time to
keep up with their
family obligations, let alone be involved and
aware of how our country is being hijacked right out from under us.
All in the name of
partiotism and of course, 9/11. As one
was actually injured by the attack, and has to travel to that area every
working day,
I feel I have the right to say that the attack
on a country that did not attack us, thereby, throwing 200+ years of history
out the window is reprehensible, immoral,
criminal, etc., etc. There are no words that I know that express
the rage
I feel at this group that have hijacked the
country.
Maybe, if the FBI had spent less time investigating
Clinton's private life, and more time on anti-terrorism, 9/11 would never
have happened.
But that would not serve the BFEE. In the
meantime, the Taliban is coming back and bin Ladin is free to stage another
attack. But Cheney
and Haliburton are doing quite well, thanks.
And instead of working to ensure health care for the population, they are
worrying about what
people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
Fuck em all!
I for one will never get over the 2000 election

When I first heard about the campaign to draft Wes Clark, I knew I had found my candidate.
After watching the Sunday morning talk shows,
reading the various web sites,forums, and magazines, I still feel that
way.
I know Dean is popular, but for me, it comes
down to electability. The conventional wisdom is that Dems are not trusted
with national security, and keeping a strong
military. The same wisdom says Republicans are also better on the economy.
Any one with a brain cell can see how conventional
wisdom is conventional stupidity. However, I live in Texas, so I have
found it prudent to keep my mouth shut. People,
we need to keep our eye on the ball,and get that whole thieving bunch out
of Washington. To do that, we have to appeal
to moderate Republicans, Democrats who have wandered away, and anyone
else we can get our hands on. To do that,
I think we have to learn from the past by: not attacking people in our
own party,
run a positive campaign, attack issues, not people.
This would also apply to the campaign after the convention.
The Repubs are a nasty, negative bunch and will
attack constantly. We have to answer the attacks promptly, and then attack
on the issues again. Wes Clark is a person who
can keep going forward, eye on the goal. He has stature, experience, and
I
would love to see a debate between him and Shrub.
That being said, I will vote for any Dem, though I would have to hold my
nose if it ended up being Lieberman. While I
have said the nominee needs to stay positive, we will need attack dogs,
and plenty
of them. Finally, in this age of constant
polling, I would like to see candidate say what he really believes
with passion and sincerity.
Terri K
Subject: Who I'm voting for and why...
I will vote for John Kerry, (when the primaries
finally get around to a large democratic state like Illinois, but that
is another story...)
mostly because I believe in his vision and his
plan for energy independence, and community service for education, and
the way he
invokes a challenge to the American People the
same way the other JFK did.
He has the plan to get America to invent its way
out of the oil dependence, he wants to fund it in much the same way the
Government
did in the race to the moon, but this race will
matter to all the people of the world, and America needs to be first, not
behind Japan, in this.
He combines all the conservation ideas, raising
MPG limits and imposing the emissions restrictions on the SUVs, and a plan
to incorporate
ethanol into powering vehicles. Also, his
pledge to protect the ANWR, no matter how many times it was brought up.
Also, because of the stand he took as a Veteran
against the Vietnam War, to stand up to a highly paranoid congress and
war-loving Nixon
to speak for legions of Veterans who knew the
truth, and that, that war was wrong, no matter what, and it might have
very well swayed the
decision to withdraw. I also believe in his Foreign
policy experience, that it will be the difference in getting the US Allies
to help clean up
the Bush mess in Iraq, and eventually help us
to get Osama and stop Al-Queda.
I also believe he connects with the Veterans,
in a way that the General never could. Since when did you ever meet
a military man who
would rather hang out with a General than a fellow
jr officer or an NCO or a fellow grunt. Clark was always a West Point
boy, Kerry was
one of the ranks, he commanded a small group
of men, not a whole division. The support of Veterans for Kerry over
Clark is overwhelming ,
and it shows in the way his former comrades come
out to support him, and the Big name Veterans support him, like Max Cleland
and Bobby
Muller, President, Vietnam Veterans of America
Foundation.
And that brings up another point, of a lot of highly regarded people believe in Kerry, http://www.johnkerry.com/endorsements/

I would vote for Howard Dean. To be honest,
I was holding back a bit from him for some reason,
but since they made such a big deal of the Iowa

I like him because he is not corporately backed.
All of his campaign is based on individual contributions.
He also is not promising the world, but is talking
sound policy not just campaign promises.
Howard Dean is the most attacked candidate, therefore, it seems to me like the smear campaign is starting a bit early.

I honestly have no idea who I would vote for right

reason why I need to make up my mind.
What I want, more than anything, is to see this
process work the way it is supposed to. A campaign
may seem like a long slog, but we learn so much
about these guys in the process. I'd have never given
Edwards a second look if I had to make my mind
up in a flash, but I really like him. Clark still has to
make his case as to why he should be Pres, and
I want to give him time. Kerry had the time to recover
and get a campaign going. Dean had a chance
to show he's kind of a prick.
The point is that the longer this goes on, the
more people know the candidates. Sure, a big fight can create
baggage, but these guys are staying in the news
every day. And whoever wins this will be a WINNER, end of story.
The process isn't perfect, but it's better than
no process and the rush to "get it over with". I think it's working
remarkably well so far. I don't know who
I'll go with eventually. That's the way I like it, at least right
now.

Bush can't stand on the same stage as Kerry or
Clark because he has led a life of leisure

They earned the chance at the Presidency. For
Bush this is just another free ride in a long list
of free rides and favorable treatments because
of who his Daddy is.
I'll admit it. I cant stand Bush because
he hasn't earned my respect nor has he showed any

While he was speaking, a very rude republican

Dean had the balls to get in Bush's face

who are sick of cookie-cutter candidates
who all talk and act the same. After sticking his neck out and giving the
Democrats the shot of testosterone they
have sorely lacked, it must have been real frustrating to see "have it
both ways"
Kerry and light weight Edwards out poll
him in Iowa.( thanks in large part to the media.) No wonder the guy screamed!
Clark is interesting,and stands up to Bush,

I loudly and, in the eyes of my colleagues,
obnoxiously support General Wesley Clark for the office of
President of the United States. General
Clark is the premier Democrat and leads the current field in
charisma and overall electability. Not
a professional politician, he is closer to the people and is a highly-trusted
and decorated patriot, not to mention a
powerful and compelling public speaker.
Mr. Clark is a Rhoades scholar with an impressive
resume who is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with anyone
for the good of the people. Unlike Republicans,
who truly love their offices, General Clark truly loves America
and has already sworn to support and defend
the Constitution of the United States as an active duty commissioned
officer in the military. He's already proven
that he can be trusted to put his country FIRST.
If he wins the nomination, General Clark
