The Democrat's Clark Kent?
Read and Enjoy!...First, we’ve got to set things right at home. Protecting our Cons ution comes first. Country before Party. Congress must fulfill its duties to the American people, not rollover for favors from the Executive branch. We need a full, in-depth, bipartisan investigation of the Administration’s bypassing of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Congress needs to show resolve that the laws it passes do bind the executive branch, whether in wiretapping, humane treatment of prisoners, or the freedom of information act. Moreover, it is time for a special prosecutor, independent of the Department of Justice, to be empowered to investigate the Abramoff scandal, and pursue the leads all the way through Congress and up to the highest office in the land, if necessary.
Then, we have to focus on the principal challenge ahead: preparing our nation to succeed in a 21st Century world where capital and technology flows instantly across borders, where the labor market is global, and where the benefits and security Americans have taken for granted are put at risk as supergiant countries like China, with 1.3 billion people, grab resources, spur economic growth, redress old grievances, and seek to pursue their own interests.
Today, we are indisputably the world’s most powerful nation, but how we organize and prepare America at home, and provide leadership abroad, in the face of China’s growing power, is the real and enduring challenge that 21st Century America must answer. Can we protect that which we value, welcome and profit from China’s growth, maintain our own security, and avoid the conflict and war which has so often accompanied historical changes such as we will witness? I believe we can, if we see clearly what must be done and bend our will to do it.
It begins at home, for this is where the most intractable problems lie, with public education, health care, and creating a business environment that encourages innovation, growth, and the creation of meaningful valued jobs.
-In education, we should be offering public preschool across America, encouraging renewed study of mathematics, sciences and engineering, and creating the community programs needed to assure that every American child graduates from high school. We must commit more resources to public education – not pull them away with voucher programs - but the most important resources are not financial – they are the commitment of community leaders to create public schools emphasizing learning and character, and the commitment of parents to work with their children, to assure they are fully engaged in the classroom and at home in preparing for their own productive future. We need to reward teachers for their skills and commitments, but the best form of teacher accountability is not found in standardized testing but in the dialogue between teachers and parents centered on the love and respect for each child in the class. And no student who seeks to go to college should be denied that opportunity because they can’t pay....

A general that puts on eyeliner.
Sorry but the Brokeback Maddona General is a ing looser nobody.
He sounds like a real "looser" to me:
*retired four-star general in the U.S. Army
*the Supreme Allied Commander of NATO from 1997 to 2000
*graduated from Hall High School as valedictorian where he led his swim team to the state championship
*graduated from West Point as the valedictorian in June 1966
*was a Rhodes Scholar at Magdalen College at the University of Oxford. There he studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE), earning a second B.A. in August 1968
*Clark served in Vietnam as the Assistant Staff Officer (Assistant G-3) of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Infantry Division. In January, Clark was promoted to Captain, and was given command of a mechanized infantry unit — the A Company, 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division.
* and so on and so forth
I didn't see anything about kicking ass in there. Maybe it's under "hobbies".
no, his hobbies include: crying like a baby that wants his bottle, being a little girl, and playing with barbie dolls.
No wonder he joined the dimm-o-craps.
and then gtown posts something homphobic/ erotic
well how can we compare him to 5 deferrment ..a true hero..
well the general didn't do his duty..like protecting the shores of alabama during the vietnam conflict.. but don't include the time dumbya worked on his daddy's campaign.. a true hero...
If you knew anything about military strategy, you would know that Alabama was a prime target for the Vietnamese government. If "W" hadn't secured that location, we'd all be eating dog and wearing straw hats that look like inverted woks.

What's all this looser talk? Must be a tough guy word.
Good Article on today's State of the Union address by Dennis Kucinich
The Truth About the State of our UnionThe facts are clear. Our economy is struggling and leaving tens of millions of Americans behind. According to the non-partisan National Journal, since President Bush first stood before Congress and the nation in 2001, the median income in this country has decreased, the jobless rate has jumped from 3.9% to 4.9% and the number of families living in poverty has increased from 8.7% to 10.2%. Our trade deficit has doubled. Inflation has gone up. Personal bankruptcies have gone up. Consumer debt has gone up. College tuition has gone up. And, the price of gas has gone up. All the while, this Administration has turned a $128 billion federal budget surplus into a $319 billion deficit.
Today, almost 6 million more Americans do not have any health insurance than when President Bush took office. In total, over 45.5 million Americans, or over 15% of our total population, have no health care coverage at all.
During his 2003 address, President Bush told the nation that Saddam Hussein "had biological weapons sufficient to produce over 25,000 liters of anthrax", "materials sufficient to produce more than 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin", "as much as 500 tons of sarin, mus and VX nerve agent" and "upwards of 30,000 munitions capable of delivering chemical agents".
Today, almost three years after the start of the President's war of choice, we know Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, had no connection to al-Qaeda and posed no threat to our nation. Yet, our armed forces are bogged down in the middle of civil war that our own generals say cannot be won by military force. Our presence in Iraq is counterproductive and has cost the lives of over 2,200 US troops and $250 billion
