CNN...Tucker says why are Dems making an issue of Bush's war service
Why doesn't one of the Dems there say..."Bush made it an issue by appearing on the deck of the ship in his flight suit and advertising himself as a flyer"

2. Not to mention, sending 500+ and counting of America's finest
to their deaths in an internationally condemned war of agression.

3. NO they are dong what they should have done 4 years ago
and the press is now too, at least on this one particular issue.

Notice that the Dems really aren't bringing it up they just aren't killing it off.

6. Jacobin: Why doesn't Bush* prove he was in the service
during the time he said he was from tax records or otherwise and deal with the problem instead of avoiding discussing it?

Answer: Cause he was AWOL or a deserter.

Hey Fucker Carlson: Got it?

7. Because he didn't serve--and went AWOL for a year, to boot...
THAT'S why! :mad:

Bowtie Boy's a fool, and he should know it!

B-)

9. Oh- I see. Democrats are to blame for Bush's desertion.
Of course. That makes sense.

10. Well if the repugs
could make everything from a failed land deal to Clinton's private sex life an issue, why shouldn't the dems make W's lies about his war service an issue? Since he is the commander in chief, I think his military record is much more relevant than someone's sex life?

12. I'll tell Tucker why!
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 05:18 PM by Raven
Because people's character is formed at a young age. You do not suddenly become responsible, ethical and honest at age 50. You are that by 3, 6, 9...12 years of age or you will probably never get there. This man is a slacker, was a slacker and will always be a slacker. His history as a young man is very important to me because it will tell me what to expect from him now, when the heat is on. Let's also remember that he was in a branch of the service least likely to get their uniforms dirty back then. This was while his comtemporaries were coming home in body bags. Yes, as a Vietnam era wife of a guy who served over there, I definately want to know what the little sh*t did.

edited for spelling!

13. You don't become responsible at age 50 unless

16. It takes them at least 50 years to reach maturity
if they ever do.

Besides he the friggin, Commander in Chief. We have a right to know the truth about W's service record, he's not an ordinary citizen anymore, or even just the gov of Tx. He's the POTUS.

If he had nothing to hide, he would have released them by now. But just like everything else in his past, it's a secret.

15. Because ChickenHawks never want their cowardice exposed

And this goes for Bow-Tie Boy! Why hasn't this piece of shit served in the military if he's so gung-ho for war?

Or is it because he's one of "the special ones" who believes he's too important and that the world actually benefits from his meaningless verbal diarrhea which he spews daily in the cushy job his daddy got him.:puke:
