Ill Be Voting For Wesley Clark / Good-Bye Mr. Bush by Michael Moore(Usefull Idiot at large)

January 14, 2004

Many of you have written to me in the past months asking, "Who are you going to vote for this year?"

I have decided to cast my vote in the primary for Wesley Clark. That's right, a peacenik is voting for a general. What a country!

Correction you mean a Hippy is voting for the most well known brown nose to ever disgrace the uniform.

I believe that Wesley Clark will end this war Exactly HOW will he do this? Perhaps by ordering the bombing of every bridge across the Tigris as he did with every bridge across the Rhine in Europe?. He will make the rich pay their fair share of taxes.Exactly WHO will make the determination of what this FAIR share is? AND what will make said person qualified to make this determination? Will they confiscateoops sorry I mean taxeverything above a certain income? And will he exempt certain deserving people in public office from these self same taxes? He will stand up for the rights of women, Will he also put women up on a pedestal just high enough to improve his view? What if the women in question dont meet his criteria of worh? Will he then discriminate? African Americans, Do you mean black people? Why do you refer to them as African Americans? I thought they were Americans? Or are they NOT good enough if they are ONLY Americans? and the working people of this country.Does this also include those sucking off the national nipple aka  gimmie girls or rather welfare types? Or are they somehow not included in youre definition of working peole? After all they are working to raise families arent they? And does this also include the Illegal aliens?....oops sorry I mean undocumented alliens.

And he will cream George W. Bush.Talk about delusional

I have met Clark and spoken to him on a number of occasions, feeling(Ohhhh good he cares!Oh! Oh! Oh! OH!...Ahhhhhh!) him out on the issues but, more importantly,(What could be more important than his feeeeeeelings?!? SHAME ON YOU!) getting a sense of him as a human being. Human being? OH Forgot he;s a democrat now. No wait did he ever declare his party affiliation? And I have to tell you I have found him to be the real deal, someone whom I'm convinced all of you would like, both as a person and as the individual leading this country. Will he lead us like he did in that little BlackHawk down incident or the Waco Incident? He is an honest, NOT POSSIBLE Hes a democrat DUH! decent, honorable BE CAREFULL! man who would be a breath of fresh air in the White House. I think someone is hoping to buy an evening in the Lincoln bedroom! He is clearly not a professional politician Wasnt much of a general either! If his record was as good as you suggest, would he need the likes of YOU to try to make him sound credible? He is clearly not from Park Avenue. And he is clearly the absolute best hope we have of defeating George W. Bush. Not much of a hope is it? No wait thats overstating the obvious.

This is not to say the other candidates won't be able to beat Bush, and I will work enthusiastically for any of the non-Lieberman 8 who might get the nomination Does this include Lindon Larushhhhhhhe?. But I must tell you, after completing my recent 43-city tour of this country, You got booted out of that many cities? I came to the conclusion that Clark has the best chance of beating Bush. He is going to inspire the independents and the undecided to come our way. The hard core (like us) already have their minds made up. It's the fence sitters who will decide this election. Hope they are not sitting on picket fences cause that would hurt.

The decision in November is going to come down to 15 states and just a few percentage points.Somehow I dont think so. So, I had to ask myself -- and I want you to honestly ask yourselves  Do you feel lucky?...oops wrong candidate.-- who has the BEST chance of winning Florida, West Virginia, Arizona, Nevada, Missouri, Ohio? Because THAT is the only thing that is going to matter in the end. You know the answer -- and it ain't you or me or our good internet doctor. Hes already gone!

This is not about voting for who is more anti-war or who was anti-war first or who the media has already anointed. It is about backing a candidate that shares our values AND can communicate them to Middle America.He DID communicate. He started in Waco when he issued the order for the tank to advance! But as we all know those people were sick and the only way to save them was to destroy them. I am convinced that the surest slam dunk to remove Bush is with a four-star-general-top-of-his-class-at-West-Point-Rhodes-Scholar-OH BOY another Rhodes scholar!And from Arkansas! What a coincidence! Medal-of-Freedom-See waco for definition of freedom  winning-gun-owner-from-the-South -- who also, by chance, happens to be pro-choice,Not much of a choice for the child though now is it?  pro environment, This is obvious by how he ordered all those evil bridges across the Rhine destroyed. and anti-war. Depends on what you mean by the word War. You don't get handed a gift like this very often. Agreed Clark would make it an easy win for Bush. I hope the liberal/left is wise enough to accept it. It's hard, when you're so used to losing, to think that this time you can actually win. It is Clark who stands the best chance -- maybe the only chance -- to win those Southern and Midwestern states that we MUST win in order to accomplish Bush Removal. And if what I have just said is true, then we have no choice but to get behind the one who can make this happen. All right boys.drop em.just like you did for Slick Willie and Fat Boy Kennedy and all the others.Dont forget the cigarets. If you are gonna take one for the team at least enjoy it!

There are times to vote to make a statement, there are times to vote for the underdog and there are times to vote to save the country from catastrophe. NOW you think of this! Where were you in 92 and 96? Oh yeah forgot the previous comment. This time we can and must do all three. I still believe that each one of us must vote his or her heart and conscience. Holding youre nose while doing this may also help. If we fail to do that, we will continue to be stuck with spineless politicians who stand for nothing and no one (except those who write them the biggest checks). So what youre saying is that the dems never have had anyone to represent the average Joe. You FINALLY admitted it! Hope this doesnt ruin youre opinion of the party as a whole.

My vote for Clark is one of conscience. I feel ( For a minute there I was afraid he may have THOUGHT about it.) so strongly about this that I'm going to devote the next few weeks of my life to do everything I can (I triedas hard as I have anything in my lifebut I just cant do itoops Slick Willie moment thereplease continue) to help Wesley Clark win. I would love it if you would join me on this mission. Were on a mission for Wes.

Here are just a few of the reasons why I feel this way about Wes Clark: I dont know if I can trust someone named wes.

1. Clark has committed to ensuring that every family of four who makes under $50,000 a year pays NO federal income tax. None. Zip. This is the most incredible helping hand offered by a major party presidential candidate to the working class and the working poor in my lifetime. He will make up the difference by socking it to the rich with a 5% tax increase on anything they make over a million bucks So you think that they will just bend over and take it like you did for eight years while Slick Willie and his ilk stole youre party? He will make sure corporations pay ALL of the taxes they should be paying. HEH MORON! Corporations DONT PAY ANY taxes! They pass the cost on to the customer! DUH!!!! Basic Economics! Clark has fired a broadside at greed. When the New York Times last week wrote that Wes Clark has been positioning himself See above for instructions on how to be properly positioned. slightly to Deans left," this is what they meant, and it sure sounded good to me. You sure you were not an alter boy?

2. He is 100% opposed to the draft.But hes OK on killing innocent Serb civilians or abandoning US Specfors to crazed Africans if an operation goes sour! If you are 18-25 years old and reading this right now, I have news for you -- if Bush wins, he's going to bring back the draft. He will be forced to. Because, thanks to his crazy war, recruitment is going to be at an all-time low. Could recruitment really be LOWER than during the Slick Willie occupation? And many of the troops stuck over there are NOT going to re-enlist. This is why dems will not regain the office for the next decade or so. They dont understand that the young men and women in uniform have a sense of honor. Something they themselves never had nor understood. The only way Bush is going to be able to staff the military is to draft you and your friends. Parents, make no mistake about it -- Bush's second term will see your sons taken from you and sent to fight wars for the oily rich. Only an ex-general who knows first-hand that a draft is a sure-fire way to wreck an army will be able to avert the inevitable.

3. He is anti-war. Have you heard his latest attacks on Bush over the Iraq War? They are stunning and brilliant. I want to see him on that stage in a debate with Bush -- the General vs. the Deserter! General Clark told me that it's people like him who are truly anti-war because it's people like him who have to die if there is a war. "War must be the absolute last resort," he told me. "Once you've seen young people die, you never want to see that again, and you want to avoid it whenever and wherever possible." I believe him. And my ex-Army relatives believe him, too. It's their votes we need. OK few questions here: Exactly what threat was Haiti to the US? Same applies to Waco, Kosovo, Somalia, Rowanda, Yemen(USS Cole)?  Further what benefit was it to blow up the bridges across the Rhine river ALL of them? What exactly did we gain by slaughtering all those Serb civilians from the air? Why were we siding with the Muslims over there when it was the Christians who were defending themselves against the muslim onslaught? Why exactly did Slick Willie PULL him from that assignment? Why were we arming the muslims over there when the Russians (ally at the time) wanted to stop the muslim terrorists from being a threat to them. Why if these muslims were so friendly did Hezbolah tell them to KILL our troups? But I guess thats not relevant as it was in his youth.

4. He walks the walk. On issues like racism, he just doesn't mouth liberal platitudes Is there anything else coming from liberals BUT platitudes? -- he does something about it.BE CAREFULL! On his own volition, he joined in and filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in support of the University of Michigan's case in favor of affirmative action. He spoke about his own insistence on affirmative action in the Army and how giving a hand to those who have traditionally been shut out has made our society a better place. He didn't have to get involved in that struggle. He's a middle-aged white guy Isnt it interesting that he will say white guy but NOT black guy?- affirmative action personally does him no good. HINT Hes a white guy as you stated. It was never meant to help white guys but to keep the other guys dependant! But that is not the way he thinks. He grew up in Little Rock, one of the birthplaces of the civil rights movement, Did he also see black churches being burned down while he was a kid? and he knows that African Americans still occupy the lowest rungs of the ladder in a country where everyone is supposed to have "a chance." That is why he has been endorsed by one of the founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Charlie Rangel, Are you sure you want to associate someone with racists such as this? and former Atlanta Mayor and aide to Martin Luther King, Jr .Sort of a slap in the face to MLK to use his name in the same sentence as Rangel isnt it! , Andrew Young. The real question is Has he ever celebrated Kwanza?

5. On the issue of gun control, this hunter and gun owner will close the gun show loophole (which would have helped prevent the massacre at Columbine) Who was it that bought the guns for these two?  and he will sign into law a bill to create a federal ballistics fingerprinting database for every gun in America (the DC sniper, who bought his rifle in his own name, would have been identified after the FIRST day of his killing spree) PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE MIKE, YOUVE HAD ENOUGH!. He is not afraid, as many Democrats are, of the NRA. His message to them: "You like to fire assault weapons? I have a place for you. It's not in the homes and streets of America. It's called the Army, and you can join any time!" Refresh my memory here since when have dems been afraid of the NRA? Oh thats rightthey have been making up laws in EVERY state to try to take away the 2^nd amendment rights of EVERY US citizen while using bogus excuses as you just entered. By the way I dont think the ARMY would eccept you mikie. There are weight restrictions not to mention IQ requirements.

6. He will gut and overhaul the Patriot Act  How democrat of him Just as the Church Commision and the Immigration Reform act did way back when? and restore our constitutional rights to privacy and free speech. Exactly when were they restricted? Oh Yes the campaign finance reform nonsense! He will demand stronger environmental laws.Translation Stronger Emotional Laws that allow Jack Booted thugs to STEAL youre property!  He will insist that trade agreements do not cost Americans their jobs and do not exploit the workers or environment of third world countries. He will expand the Family Leave Act.OH BOY! Lets be like Europe vacation wonder land that it is! He will guarantee universal pre-school throughout America. He opposes all discrimination against gays and lesbians (and he opposes the constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage). All of this is why Time magazine Does anyone read that tripe anymore. I mean some people need replacement sheet for the parrots cage but read? this week referred to Clark as "Dean 2.0" -- an improvement over the original (1.0, Dean himself), a better version of a good thing: stronger, faster, and easier for the mainstream to understand and use. Why dont we just join into Canada? We could stop pretending to be a democratic republic and just go Socialist and all will be well with the world!

7. He will cut the Pentagon budget,HMMMM Didnt Slick Willie do this every year during the 90s and claim that he cut the size of government? Are we sure we want any more of these DRAKONIAN CUTS? use the money thus saved for education and health care, SO $540 BILLION is not enough? What exactly would be? If there is a figure that would qualify as enough please specify. One would think that one third of the budget would be enough but perhaps Im mistaken. and he will STILL make us safer than we are now. Only the former commander of NATO could get away with such a statement.The man who single handedly murdered over 2000 Serb civillians from the air! Dean says he will not cut a dime out of the Pentagon. SMART MAN! Maybe Dean isnt crazy. Naaaaaaaaah! Clark knows where the waste and the boondoggles are and he knows that nutty ideas like Star Wars must be put to pasture. His health plan will cover at least 30 million people who now have no coverage at all, including 13 million children. Will he call it the Waco Care or perhaps Hillary Care? He's a general who will tell those swing voters, Swing voters or Swingers? Who is you are trying to reach here? "We can take this Pentagon waste and put it to good use to fix that school in your neighborhood." My friends, those words, coming from the mouth of General Clark, are going to turn this country around.

Now, before those of you who are Dean or Kucinich supporters start cloggin' my box with emails tearing Clark down with some of the stuff I've seen floating around the web ("Mike! He voted for Reagan! He bombed Kosovo!"), let me respond by pointing out that Dennis Kucinich refused to vote against the war resolution in Congress on March 21 So you are suggesting that the FACT that he bombed Kosovo is NOT important?? (two days after the war started) which stated "unequivocal support" for Bush and the war (only 11 Democrats voted against this--Dennis abstained). Or, need I quote Dr. Dean who, the month after Bush "won" the election, said he wasn't too worried about Bush because Bush "in his soul, is a moderate"? What's the point of this ridiculous tit-for-tat sniping? I applaud Dennis for all his other stands against the war, and I am certain Howard no longer believes we have nothing to fear about Bush. They are good people.

Why expend energy on the past when we have such grave danger facing us in the present and in the near future? I don't feel bad nor do I care that Clark -- or anyone -- voted for Reagan over 20 years ago. Let's face it, the vast majority of Americans voted for Reagan -- and I want every single one of them to be WELCOMED  Dont worry! Those who voted for Reagan are already Republicans mostly and would never vote for someone who doesnt know what party he is with until the last possible minute! into our tent this year. The message to these voters -- and many of them are from the working class -- should not be, "You voted for Reagan? Well, to hell with you!" Every time you attack Clark for that, that is the message you are sending to all the people who at one time liked Reagan. If they have now changed their minds (just as Kucinich has done by going from anti-choice to pro-choice, and Dean has done by wanting to cut Medicare to now not wanting to cut it) and if Clark has become a liberal Democrat, is that not something to cheer? BECAME! In case you havent been paying attention Liberal + Democrat! At one time there were members of the Democrat party who had at least a semblance of honesty and integrity. Currently only Zel Miller fits that bill but he is not persuing further office and he still votes correctly which usually means AGAINST the rest of the dems! GO ZEL!

In fact, having made that political journey and metamorphosis, is he not the best candidate to bring millions of other former Reagan supporters to our side -- blue collar people who have now learned the hard way just how bad Reagan and the Republicans were (and are) for them? Keep dreaming!

We need to take that big DO NOT ENTER sign off our tent and reach out to the vast majority who have been snookered by these right-wingers. And we have a better chance of winning in November with one of their own leading them to the promised land. AH Camalot! Does this mean that the great wes has been ANOINTED?

There is much more to discuss and, in the days and weeks ahead, I will continue to send you my thoughts.I can hardly contain myself! In the coming months, I will also be initiating a number of efforts on my website to make sure we get out the vote for the Democratic nominee in November. Please do the more you fools open youre mouth the more you betray what you really are and the more eyes you open for the average joe.

In addition to voting for Wesley Clark, I will also be spending part of my Bush tax cut to help him out. Good Boy!  You can join me, if you like, by going to his website to learn more about him, to volunteer, or to donate. To find out about when your states presidential primaries are, visit Vote Smart.

I strongly urge you to vote for Wes Clark. Let's join together to ensure that we are putting forth our BEST chance to defeat Bush on the November ballot. It is, at this point, for the sake of the world, a moral imperative. Tell me Mikiewhat color is the sky in youre little world?

Yours,

Michael Moore
