Subject: No one awards themselves medals.
From: (BUFDRVR) Date: 8/19/2004 5:13 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: Dan wrote: I don't recall anyone ever saying kerry awarded himself anything. I haven't heard anyone claim he awarded himself his medals, just that he *submitted* himself for the medals. I'm at the point now where I'm ready to support a Constitutional amendment barring *any* person between the age of 50 and 65 (Vietnam era service age) from serving as President of the U.S. Sorry Ed BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" Except of course unless they have actually seen combat.

WRONG! "Seeing" combat has exactly the square root of jack **** to do with being President. The prisons and mental institutions of this country are chock full of people who have "seen" combat and I don't consider them qualified to serve in the nations highest office. The DNC was correct 12 years ago when they said what a person did (or didn't do) during the Vietnam conflict has nothing to do with their qualifications to be President, hell, Kerry himself said that!

Well, I am 70 and served in NAM. I also know a lot of folks older than that who did. But Gene, Do you want to be President? If so, Bufdrvr will write an exclusion for you in his amendment. He has about as much political pull as anyone else in this newsgroup :-) If you you are a "Senior" Buffdriver, did you also have some B-47 time? That would probably put you in the LeMay era, any comments on him? Rick Clark |

OK Gene, you've convinced me, consider the amendment changed to include those between 50 and 75. I'm sorry to crush your candidacy before it got started BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" |
