9. You see, the Right Wing Media has already started to question
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 09:21 PM by FrenchieCat
Clark's credibility (as is the title of that Thread WesDEM linked you to) in order to lessen his influence over the 2006 elections. He is the chair of the PAC to help fund Democrat Vets running for various offices in 2006. Because the majority of these Vets have very little personal fortune, it is imperative that money be raised for many of them. Considering that Wes Clark was the first General to run for office on the Dem side, and that his former assistant, Eric Massa, was the first Vet toss his hat in for the 2006 congressional races, the Pugs have a certain interest in discrediting General Wes Clark.

Soooooo, Wes Clark is all about 2006....and those that seek to quiet him are not!

At first glance, making the Democrats seem soft on "terrorist surveillance" looks like another winner for the GOP. For Democrats to explain that they don't oppose all eavesdropping but object to the way it was done is a two-step answer that's too complicated. It would be better to argue that Bush's NSA program has been a failure because it has threatened civil liberties and violated the law without doing anything to catch Osama bin Laden.

This would fit with the Democrats' idea of fighting fear with failure - Bush's failure. New polls show his approval ratings in the low 40s, with strong majorities believing he has failed on every score except keeping the country safe. To confront the security issue, Wesley Clark is chairing a PAC to help the nine Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans running for Congress as Democrats (versus one as a Republican). The idea is to adopt the Rovean strategy of attacking your opponent's strength.
