Now the most important question: what has any of this to do with homebuilt

Good point. I'd ask Bill Phillips, who originally posted the anti
Kerry story.

Whether Kerry drank in the military isn't the point, I only brought up
that situation regarding Bush because those who knew him in those days
thought he seemed over the top with not just drinking, but bragging
about it. It was basically what he did for evening's entertainment.
And yes, I realise he has turned to god in the most scary of ways and
no longer drinks, that we know of. The point was Kerry chose a
different path. He went to a very unpopular war and led men in combat
in a tough branch of the service. The men he led seem to feel he did
a good job of it.

As to Mr. Bush's education in the corporate world, the information I
keep seeing indicates he was not very sucessful at that.

Take a look at Lincoln. He failed at almost everything he did before getting
elected president. He did most of his failing after his military service.

My point is what kerry and Bush did during the war has a lot less bearing on
qualifications as an executive than what the have done during the war. Kerry
needs to stop Bush bashing and start telling us what he has done that makes him
qualified for president. Whether you feel Bush is a good president or was a
good governor the fact remains he had experience as an executive, at the very
least his governorship qualifies, before becoming president.

I will say no more about this in this NG since it is not a political group.
