October 30, 2003 -- WESLEY CLARK'S fizzle from superstar wannabe to self-proclaimed "underdog" is raising new questions in the Democratic Party about former President Bill Clinton's star - and political smarts. Clinton helped launch Clark in a wave of media buzz by talking up the retired general as one of the Democrats' top two stars - along with wife Hillary - and prodding allies like Mickey Kantor to back him.

I cannot help but wonder whether drugs play a role in clinton's bad political advice week after week. He still seems unable to act like a statesman, and as a leader he is paving the way to destructive defeat for the democ-rats in 2004.
Bill, keep up the good work!

A very uplifting read this morning, I must say.
"Clinton is desperate to stop Howard Dean for fear that he'll yank the Democratic Party too far to the left, damaging it for decades and hurting Hillary's chances in 2008."
"Too far to the left? Just how far to the left can the Democratic Party go?
We've got to face it, "too far to the left" can only mean a world like Stalin's Russia, or Mao's China, as the Democratic Party of today is presently a socialist entity.

" .......

It is, no doubt, all about hillary and 2008.
These thugs not only think of themselves, but think in terms of decades, and how they will shape the socialist America of tomorrow.
I'm afraid history is rife with examples of this mentality, and it's outcome.
The old "that was then, this is now" cliché won't work here. [my words, not related to your post]

Funny how Clinton disappeared at the end of that race. I remember that, too. He just fell off the planet for awhile after that.
To: G.Mason
What I find as baffling is that in spite of all the negative feelings about the Clintons expressed by the various party workers is the seemingly popular support for Hillary in primary polls? Go figure.

Officially, Clinton now insists he wasn't promoting the retired general, but other Democratics don't buy it. "Yeah, and he never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky," sniffed a rival strategist. I love this part! I get a certain satisfaction from seeing a Democrat use this line against Clinton.

"Clinton sees himself as having a legacy for the Democratic Party..." Rich Lowrey has laid out Clinton's sorry legacy in great detail: the second term was an entire WASTE. Character DOES matter and this guy has NONE. Morality DOES count in our leaders and this guy HAD/HAS NONE!
Congratulations, Democrats, on your great retired President Bubba! May he afflict you for the same number of decades that it will take to cleanse the body politic from his 8 years in office.

You can start the whole sorry record with the Gingrich wins in the house in 94. Clinton hasn't really done anything of any value ever.

Not to be cute, but have you looked at who she is rated against?
Dean? A congenital liar and an ex govenor who sealed his records.
Clark? Another bumbling Oxford attendee, ex general, and general nobody.
Edwards? A nobody senator from N.C..
Kucinich? An absolute, upfront socialist with the charisma of Kevorkian.
Braun? Need I say more?
Sharpton? Need I say more?
Gephardt ? Yesterdays news. He's soon to be relegated to the "Dole" retirement farm.
Kerry? This guy is an indication of what is wrong with our voters decision making abilities. Did you hear he was a Vietnam vet?
Lieberman? Pathetic imitation of a man. "Dole" farm material also.
I'd mention that stalwart Graham, but he's already moved into a Florida retirement home.
Hell, even I'd look good compared to this string.
just kidding

I can't recall where I read it but the author described Clinton's behavior after he lost his relection bid for governor in 1980. Clinton's behavior as described by this author left me with the impression that he had had a nervous breakdown and that was why Clinton adamantly refused to disclose his medical records. Clinton being the political animal that he is did not want to become another Thomas Eagleton.(An interesting side note that in the next election Clinton kept repeating that you can't lead without listening - sound familar?)
Clinton's behavior after leaving the White House always reminds me of that earlier disclosure.

There is absolutely no doubt the man is not well. Now, or for these many many years.
As is documented, the liberal mentality, as a whole [hole?] is not well. One simply has to look at their life style. ie: groups they belong to, causes they support, and people they detest.

If they won't stand up to the Toons, they deserve to be consigned to history's trash heap.
