By taking this stance against those Americans who honorably serve in the National Guard and the Reserves, the Democrats impugn the service and integrity of millions of Americans. The "bloody bucket brigade" of Pennslyvania who fought so herocially during the Battle of the Buldge was a Guard unit. Thousands upon thousands of Guard and Reservists are serving, sacrificing, and dying in hot spots all over the globe as I type this.
Next--GW Bush served honorably. This is nothing but a wash, lather, rinse, repeat lie that is Goebbel-esque and disgusting, but an effective smear and lie--and there is the tragedy.
Lastly, the Boston Globe did a story on Cleland and his injury. Cleland himself has changed the story over the years--although it is clear he did not recieve his injuries "on the battlefield!" as has been repeated over and over again by Democrat mouth-pieces. Cleland himself attributed the changing story to the "painful nature" of his injury, but it adds to the confusion. The allegations of alcohol being involved in the accident have been repeated by several men who served in his unit--although none came forward publically. Moreover, GW Bush never questioned his patriotism. That is a Carville lie. The GOP ran one ad that criticized his vote against Homeland Security--and the media and the Dims could not handle that truth.
