2556 days since John Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records.
I really don’t think Rove is considered part of the insider elite. He’s useful to them but that’s as far as it goes.
In retrospect Karl Rove did not serve George Bush well. He was credited with election strategy and in both cases the results were not ‘landslides’.
IMHO GWBush was a decent, honorable and humble individual with a strong sense of duty and gave Karl Rove more respect and credit than he deserved. He also listened to some very bad advice out of trust and loyalty.
That is why Newt is a better option - Newt listens to others but bases his decisions on the Constitution - not polls.
I have no doubt that Rove is part of it. The did not support Angle in Nevada, McDonald in Maryland and they are squeezing West out in Florida. Anyone who dares to challenge the RINO’s are getting their furry.
Could be but it looks like KGB, Hammas, Fatah and al Qaeda to me.
don’t know who did it..... don’t really care..... my mind is made up, and the “compassionate conservativism” of the bushie era is dead..... once we sink mcromney for good, then maybe it will sink in to the party once and for all
I’m sure Rove is making his contribution, but the method is pretty obvious, if you don’t mind spreading lies.
I think it needs to be strongly differentiated from the Swiftboat campaign, however.
That was true. Kerry really was a cowardly fake and a traitor. These are lies, many of which have already been disproved for those who trouble to look into them. There’s a big difference. Hundreds of patriots at the center of one case, hundreds of insider liars at the center of the other.
And of course, the media only support lies.
If I had a dollar for every time someone on FR, between 2001 and 2006 posted “Rove You Magnificent Bastard!!” I’d have enough money for a trip to the Super Bowl to root on my Giants plus enough for a side trip to the Bahamas before going home. How times and FR have changed.
Your above comments are a lie and a false smear of Bush's reputation and that of the Air National Guard, and you need to retract them with an apology.
John Kerry apparently obtained awards by fraud. He is reported to have violated orders and endangered his fellow Swiftboat sailors by goofing off, and then submitted false combat reports to coverup his misconduct. He apparently used falsified combat reports to obtain the award of decorations he did not earn or deserve, and then used those awards to request relief from combat duties. While still a commissioned officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve, Kerry apparently engaged in unlawful aid and support of the Communist enemy combatants. Kerry's apparently treasonous activities and/or unlawful political activities in support of the Communist regimes caused him to receive a less than honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy, which the Presidential Executive Order of President Carter reversed with a grant of amnesty and multiple suspicious honorable discharges many years later. Kerry was also reported by the FBI as being in attendance at a meeting of terrorists planning the assassination of U.S. Senators who refused to vote against military support of the Republic of Vietnam.
Bush served as the pilot of an F-102 Delta Dagger fighter-interceptor in the Air National Guard while it was on active alert duty and as a training unit of the Air Defense Command (ADC). Due to his being several years younger than Kerry, he was not old enough to accumulate enough flight hours in the F-102 or a replacement aircraft to qualify for a TDY or a PDY combat assignment in the Vietnam Conflict. If Bush had been the same age as Kerry, he would have been able to accumulate the required minimum flight hours and his request to volunteer for the F-102 combat tour in Vietnam probably would have been granted in about 1968-69. Instead, the Democrats in the U.S. Congress refused to appropriate funding for the Air Force needed to sustain F-102 flight operations in Vietnam and avoid a downsizing of the fighter-interceptor groups in the United States. Consequently, the RIF (Reduction in Force) forced active duty F-102 and F-101 pilots to leave active duty and secure the available training instructor positions in the Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard. This left the youngest and least experienced Air National Guard F-102 and F-101 pilots having less than 2,000 hours of flight time in these aircraft with no available positions to remain in these reserve branches. For the good of the service, these younger pilots not qualified with enough accumulated flight hours to serve as instructor pilots were encouraged to request or were simply ordered to be separated from the service before the end of the service contract or at the end of their service contract. This was all due to the Congressional budgeting and nothing whatsoever to do with the abilities of the individual pilots affected by the reduced military force structuring. All of the shenanigans which went on with Bush's drill schedules were related to his squadron needing to expend its flight budget and hours on its changed mission to training pilots. The squadron and group simply did not have a large enough budget to permit the youngest pilots who were not qualified as instructors to maintain their required minimum flight hours. If you need to blame someone, you need to blame the Congress for denying Lt. Bush the opportunity to accumulate enough flight hours in one of the unit's fighter-interceptor aircraft to qualify as an instructor pilot needed to fulfill the squadron and group's changing mission assignment.
