I don't see Constitutionalist.

Nor Communist.

That's just from glancing at the list...I'm sure there are plenty of other perfectly coherent political philosophies missing.

Come on folks. It wouldn't take much to Freep this poll. As of 4:30 EST 1-17-04 there have only been 331 Democrats who have bothered to take this poll.

[Political Numbers Guy]

Don't vote Republican, vote Socialist & expose what they really are.

[LibWhacker]

Superfluous list; Democrat=Socialist.

Voted! As SOCIALIST!

Show them how far they've gone to the left. Kinda like a looking glass.... ;-)

[TLI]

Interesting . . .

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hey, if enough people submit Socialist as their choice, Ashley Wilkes will say "Hmmmm, Socialists seem to be dropping by my website, maybe I'd be wise to project a more Socialist agenda! Yeah, that's it!".

Ahh Wafflin' Wesley....

[ClearCase_guy]

The number of Greens and Socialists approaches 100, which is more than the number of Independents. Move Clark further to the Left! Show him what kind of people visit his web site -- hard-core totalitarian Socialists! C'mon Wes! Propose something big! Nationalize the telecommunications business!

You know, this site doesn't represent anyone potentially Presidential. It looks like a loser site for a man who would disrespect his own mom if he thought he'd get another percentage point in the polls.

If he respected the office he sought, he'd take a higher road. He would refer to his incipient opponent as PRESIDENT Bush.

The Republicans didn't steal the election; we won it. The Republicans didn't steal patriotism--we're left as the only ones holding it.

Anyway, I hate even giving his site a hit, and I can't bring myself to deliberately skew statistics which are used for decisionmaking, so I'm answering Republican. :shrug: Maybe he'll give up and take up knitting or something! (Haha.)

[NonValueAdded]

Sorry, why give the guy the traffic? I'll pass.

[jimkress]

Superfluous list; Democrat=Socialist=Republican

As good a place as any to post this.

I know a guy who actually worked for Clark in the Army -- traveled places with him, and so on. So I asked what he thought of Wesley Clark.

Slime. Slime slime slime. A "prince." You couldn't take him at his word. He's make them close the pool -- even if he never showed up -- so he could swim by himself: couldn't abide others in the pool with him. He is apparently not liked by anybody who's served with him. Certainly the guy I know could not stand him at all.

And here's the interesting part -- probably Hugh Shelton's "serious character issues" -- he sleeps around, and is known especially for his propensity for sleeping with his subordinates' wives. It has apparently caused him to be reassigned more than once.

So that's the scoop on Clark -- the thing that's gonna take him out of the race at the time of Bill Clinton's choosing.

Yeah, we should all freep it so they know their constiuency. Of course, if Howard Dean was the one with the poll, he'd probably take it as a compliment.

[Humidston]

Bump!

[Capitalism2003]

I hope everyone votes SOCIALIST ;)

Someone blogged this on Clark's site, is this a joke? It has to be.

The great thing about Clark is his ability to not answer directly. I think that is great in a President. I thought Clinton did that well and it was admirable. I am sick of gotcha politics.

Deception is useful in the 24 hour news cycle. I think we need a President that can answer questions creatively rather than directly.

George Bush isn't slick enough with his speech-- and that's what I can't stand.

The wonderful thing is that we can criticize the military with impunity because Clark is a 4 star. Dean can't get away with that, we can. Priceless.

I also think it would be great to launch an impeachment proceeding against Bush-- like Clark intimated. What could be more effective than that in stopping the war?

I think Clark can be our De Gaulle, who rapidly retreated from Algeria, and make America like France. Cafe life and European style socialism is the future. Clark can change America-- we don't have to be unilateral. I'd feel better if we acted according to the wishes of the Arab league and not the chamber of commerce.

The truth is Clark can change America. Only a General could dismantle the military-- no more Pentagon, no more wars, no more soldiers. We need to re-make our country. Let's spend more money on the arts--more paintings, less pain.

Let's roll, screw that let's rock n' roll! Make sense, not war. Make music, not munitions.

Clark can talk past his record. What is the past anyway? Isn't it what we say it is? If he was for the War in 2002, who cares? He's against it now! Our lives are now, the truth is now.

We can say what we want with Clark. He wasn't for THIS war. This isn't the War he wanted. He wanted War without death--which is possible. He wanted War without cost-- it can be achieved!

Clark's sweaters are great. Sweaters are what we need. Bush's clothes aren't compassionate. They look hard to the touch and militaristic. Bush is the type that would strangle the old and infirmed with a sweater, while Wesley fills it out with peace, love and understanding.

We understand peace= love, and who better than a General who ordered bombing raids to make that point. The ultimate mea culpa. Wesley shows us that bombs aren't the answer, hugs are. Hugs in soft sweaters from L.L. Bean.

Hug someone today. Love someone today. But hate George Bush--hate him with the same intensity that the fourth runner up hates Miss America.

Let's form an army of sweater wearers who hate Bush. Together we can form a chain of cashmere, cotton and wool and defeat Bush and the neo-cons.

Turtlenecks can save this country from the right wing. Argyle power.

Sweaters are the new flannel shirt. Lamar Alexander failed, but we will not. This isn't Jimmy Carter's sweater, this is Wes Clark's sweater. This isn't Mr. Roger's sweater, this is Gen. Clark's sweater.

When Wes Clark put on the sweater, I knew he meant business. I went and bought a sweater and people that usually laugh at me knew I meant business. Sweaters equal instant credibility.

Rock the sweater, rock the vote and roll what Clinton didn't inhale. Let's take our country back to 1976, the bicentennial year, and remember that the Constitution (minus the second amendment) is what makes this country great.

Clark wears sweaters and thats good enough for me. Vote Clark-- let's bring sweaters back into the Oval Office. Sweaters and hatred of the right wing is what the world needs now.

Vote Clark, two sweaters for the price of one.
