Are you saying Rudy got himself a college deferment to avoid serving in Vietnam so that he could be a lawyer. I wonder how that's going to play to the military vote...
Rudy was a pretty radical liberal at that point in time. Radical liberals were rioting in the streets against the war in Vietnam. I'm pretty sure he did no rioting or protesting, but I'll bet if someone did the right digging (that's what we do here) they could probably find him aligning himself with the wrong crowd (Fonda, Kerry, Clinton, etc) back then. Hmmmm....
Pardon me for shooting holes in the false image that has risen up around a liberal candidate. But, then again, that's what we do here on Free Republic. If liberal Rudy is one of your sacred cows, you're just going to have to learn to like ground beef.
How much longer are we going to debate that issue? I mean seriously.
We haven't had the draft for over 30 years. At some point, whether it's about Rudy or about anyone else, we have to get beyond the "he's not eligible to be elected because he didn't serve."
Yes, service is admirable.
But John Kerry, John Murtha and Jim Webb ALL served.
And none of them should be in office.
Well, gosh, Spiff, you're just so damn predictable.
We didn't have to wait all that long to find out how you'd "play" it, did we?
Stop that now; you're showing your ignorance.
