Bush's Top 10 Lies, Exaggerations And 'Obsfucations' About His Military Service Rather old news. I'm happy to see you don't refute the information. Unnecessary - This topic was beaten to death in the last election and proved to be ineffictive for Bush's opposition. It's difficult to convince people that volunteering to be a fighter pilot is the act of a coward. There are a few too many Air Guard pilots that were and are deployed to war zones to make this convincing. The topic just doesn't seem to matter. Bush1, shot down in WWII lost to Bill Clinton who completly dodged military service and never retracted his letter in which he described his hatred and loathing of the military. I just don't think anyone cares. As Bill said, "its the economy, stupid." (please note these are Bill's words, not mine and I DO NOT directed this invective at you) ... At any rate, to question Kerry's distinguished war record... I didn't and won't do that. Other issues will be more interesting: Kerry, the populist, is one of the richest men in the country and has held the record for accepting donations from lobbiests for 15 years. Baby Bush dampen spending? That's a laugh. I agree; almost as infurating to his base as amnasty. Incidently, what is a "thread cycle?" Usually it seems to take 15 or 20 "back and forth" postings before someone invokes the Nazi anology or some other silly extreamism. |

I'm happy to see you don't refute the information. Why do it again? It was refuted here in great detail last election cycle. Google this group for Bush's Military Record and you will find an article by Slate, a liberal Ezine, documenting every step and exhonorating Bush of any misdeed. This didn't get any traction in the last election and won't in this one either. I'm not so sure about that. Given the Executive spin on the intelligence suggesting Iraqi WMD, this information underscores baby Bush's lack moral veracity. At any rate, to question Kerry's distinguished war record, while the sitting president's record shows him as the privileged son of a plutocrat with the power to nimbly dodge his duty without repercussion is telling. Kerry's military record is honorable, but his life since then as hypocrite and gigolo is embarrassing. Kerry is a real pilot. Yeah, flying a light twin is SO much more manly than flying a supersonic interceptor. -- Wm. Donald (Don) Tabor Jr., DDS PP-ASEL Chesapeake, VA - CPK, PVG |
