![]() "Skylune" wrote in message lkaboutaviation.com... I admire McCain for his service to the country. I dislike Boyer for his dis-service to the country. At least you didn't go on a whacko left wing character assination track, like certain of the lefties out west... Character assassination is not a sole tactic of the left wing. The combat service records of Murtha, Kerry and McCain were all attacked by the right. I value the integrity of my own political standards which is why I was also royally ****ed when -some- of the left was accusing GHWB of cowardice for bailing out of his aircraft. It's a cheap shot; accusing somebody of cowardice in combat during a life or death struggle in which the accuser was never close to any similar situation. Unfortunately, it's a tactic employed by contemptable and embarrassing elements of both the left -and- right. -c |

It started with the Robert Bork SCOTUS hearings, and was perfected by the Clintonistas. Now, many members of both parties attack each other, rather than debate ideas. Its sad, actually.... |

Today's politicions are rank amateurs compared to some of the old school boys! 1800, 1828, 1860....

But, hey, back in The Day at least you could challenge the opponent to a duel or just beat him with your cane on the Senate floor... (We need more Senator fights.) -c |
