Greatest threat to American people - what they really have to worry about
is the threat to liberty and Democracy right here in America."

"they thrived on scaring the American people."

"Am I right there has been no color-coded terror alert since Since John Kerry lost to George Bush in November 2004? "


Wes Clark quotes in his latest PodCast...among other things said (as Clark interviews Nick Lampson, Tom Delay's opponent in the fast approaching 2006 elections)!

Have a listen....

1. Thanks!
Wow!

I listened to the Cast..... It's obvious that Lampson and Clark we really clicking.

What a terrific way to help get Lampson's message out!

Clark is hell bent on turning Congress blue, isn't he?

Good for Wes!

2. Clark and Lampson obviously know!
It's all about 2006! Without a win in either the House or the Senate (both would be best).....we are totally screwed!

Cause at the end of the day.....what's wrong? It's the Policies, Stoopid and the lack of checks and balance.

The Dems need supoena powers pronto!

5. I didn't know this about Lampson...
"Nick Lampson: You know, I've got to tell you Wes, the way I grew up in my life was somewhat difficult. I came from a poor family that struggled from the very beginning. My father died when I was only 12 years old. He was the son of immigrants to this nation.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: I'm sorry to hear that.

Nick Lampson: He had worked in the shipyards during World War II and contracted a disease that took his life very prematurely. But, it was interesting to see us as a family with six children and my mother having only a 5th grade education. Our community stepped up and helped us because the Social Security programs that only meant a few dollars to us literally kept our family together and they gave us the opportunity to all get educations; all give back significantly more than what we ever took from this nation and our mother got her GED on her 80th birthday. That's the kind of commitment to education…

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: That's so wonderful.

Nick Lampson: …the kind of commitment to education I believe we need again in the United States of America."

We need more Democrats in Congress who have a background like this who can relate to what people who aren't economically comfortable have to deal with. I hope Lampson wipes the floor with DeLay

6. Great Way to get the word out
For both Lampson and Clark. Each has a vital message for the voters and citizens of this country. We'd better get it right in November. Remember when we said "How bad can Bush be? How much damage can he do?" Well, it's beyond all rational comprehension. They have to be stopped in November.

9. This gives me a warm fuzzy feeling for Texas
Bush and Delay make many of us feel as if Texas were a foreign country. Lampson's victory would certainly help change that perception.
