let's assume that Clark is unstable

would you still vote for him in the primaries just because you like him? Personally I wouldn't but I would like to see how far are we willing to go "on principle".

No need to say he's stable and it's all right wing propaganda.... we're all going to assume that he's not for the sake of this argument.

5. Yep, head of Nato, conducted a war,

... but republicans always like to use this meme. It worked against McCain.

Personally, I find Clark kinda boring, I wish he had more charisma, he looks like a grey man in a suit to me. (However, my mother thinks he is a babe - which is really embarrasing)

12. Hey, if people like Imus are saying it

then millions of Americans are hearing it. Personally, I agree that we probably shouldn't have these RW talking point sessions, and they certainly could stop.

14. Fair game?

More like a only a game to a bunch who confuse consideration of intellectual hypothesis with shit stirring.

Does anyone still wonder why we are losing elections when the small minded are permitted to lead discussions?

13. Unstable? Are you nuts?

This is a different question from the one you asked about Dean.

If Clark was as crazy as a loon but also the only one who could beat George Bush, he'd get my vote in a New York minute.

I am already on record as pledging to vote for a ham sandwich rather than Dubya. Why would a raving lunatic give me pause?

Hell, I'd vote for Cthulu instead of Bush.

Why settle for the lesser evil?

15. Locking.

This is not conducive to actual discussion, and a continuation (of sorts) of another locked thread.

Thanks,

Why must you engage in this petty bickering? Please refer to the posting rules before starting another thread in GD.

Thanks

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include profanity, excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation. Inflammatory rhetoric should also be avoided.

3. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

4. If you wish to start a vanity thread (ie: a discussion thread in which the sole purpose is to share your personal opinion) you must state your opinion in a non-inflammatory manner which respects differences in opinion and facilitates actual discussion.

5. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.

17. Let's assume ...

Cigarettes are breathing aids ...

Scotch is baby food ...

Pennies are million dollar bills ....

Damn: you can go ANYWHERE with this stuff ....

..........

This assumption is a gross speculation, and far removed from reality ....

It suits no valid purpose ....
