Hulloooo 'Rats re: President Bush's National Guard service.......been there, done that (2000 election). Don't you have anything new? I'm sure the Guard units serving in Iraq appreciate your comments too (sarcasm "on")

This is only the beginning of these "tactics". The 'Rats will sink below the sewer during the campaign, just like they always do- No big surprise really. It's going to be a long 1O months til the election.

[punster]

McAuliffe doesn't have to be smart to be Democrat Nazi Committee Chairman, he's Hillary's cabana boy.

[YaYa123]

What's always interesting.....a talk show that has McAuliffe on with Gillespie. The comparison between the two is striking.

Gillespie is a polite conversationalist, calm, rational, honorable, and he never, never says anything that could be construed as harmful to the country, intentionally false, or even over the top silly spin. McAuliffe looks wild eyed and frantic, as his spin borders on the absurd.

[JohnHuang2]

Couldn't agree with you more.

[mystery-ak]

Well, John this hurt me so much. There are thousands of Guard and Reserve serving, fighting and dying in Iraq, Afghanistan and Bosnia. My husband has been gone since Feb 2003 and has been extended again, for a grand total of 15mos. His unit lost a Chinook and 3 crew in the Nov rocket attack...His unit has out-flown, out-performed all *Reg Army* and has been duly recognized...This latest extension,his 4th, was personally authorized by Rummy himself...My hubby, Mike was recommended and awarded a Bronze Star by the *Reg Army* Brigade CO for his Meritorious Service....McAwful and these rats have insulted every Guard member and his/her family and owe them an apology.........Im pissed!

You have a right to be, my friend. Prayers for Mike and all our brave men and women in uniform.

[mystery-ak]

I see by my comment page that post #46 was directed at me....must have been bad since you zotted it so quickly.

[Kaslin]

I seem to remember a web scan of Bush's DD214 from the GoreFest, but now can't find it anywhere.

Do you mean this?

Or this?

[Gritty]

Yesterday's pratfall was a perfect example of an attention-starved ego diverting the press from the themes that the candidates are trying to develop onto a stupid comment and the clean-up that follows.

I disagree. This is a deliberate plan by the Dems to shift the subject from Kerry's vulnerabilities.

This is a planned, pre-emptive and vicious attack on what the Liberals say is Bush's tepid record. It has the ultimate intent on making Kerry's nasty post-military record off limits as the Media will eventuall call a truce and tout putting "weaknesses" of candidates' Vietnam record off limits - which will surely include Kerry's undeniable anti-war record.

Although Kerry has a few medals, some of which he may even have legitimately earned, his post-Vietnam exploitation of them is shameful, and his record is even worse.

First, he used his legitimate service to culturally mainstream the anti-war movement, not only by writing a book but also organising demonstrations and falsely testifying before Congress about "our atrocities" in Vietnam, thereby compunding his calumny.

Second, Kerry has used the good part of his military record to endlessly promote his candidacy among Veterans Groups and those unaware of his involvement and aims within the anti-war movement, which openly supported a Communist victory and American defeat in Vietnam. The anti-war movement was a very successful front for the Communists, who could not beat us on the battlefield but were successful over time in our changing our policies at home, causing us to abandon Southeast Asia to the Communists which resulted in the slaughter and enslavement of millions.

Kerry was instrumental in this anti-war movement, and understandably doesn't want to have to explain it in any detail. Therefore, the Dems are working pre-emptively to innoculate Kerry by once again waving the bloody shirt of Bush's "shameful" service record, thereby hoping to neutralise the issue.

[mwl1]

RATS are trying to innoculate Kerry from attacks regarding his leftist national security record by playing the "attacking my patriotism" card. It's nonsense, the big lie theory, and needs to be promptly addressed by the GOP apparatus.

No one is questioning these jackass' patriotism, we are questioning their judgment.

GOP should strike back hard, as soon as Kerry has the nomination effectively sealed.

[redhead]

"George Bush never served in our military in our country."

I keep trying to figure out why National Guard service is not considered "military." Doesn't the "home field" need protection, too?

[onedoug]

Yes. Thank you.

I read this as him getting an "early out". Barring any additional Air Force records to the contrary, I'm satisfied that's the end of it.

Thanks, again.

[meenie]

There were no volunteers accepted for Vietnam. Priorities dictated that it was more important to help with an election in Alabama.

[BlueNgold]

It is not Sen Kerry's service in uniform that I question.

I do question his unholy direct alliance with Jane Fonda, and that calls into question his foriegn and military policy. He has publicly stated that he supported the disbanding of the CIA and the subjugation of US troops to UN command.

Let's be honest. There are a lot of people with honorable, even heroic military records. That fact alone does not make one fit, or even better suited than any other, for the CinC's chair. Look at the ridicule the media and the Democrat party (and even some on the Pubbue side) heaped upon VADM Stockdale, quite possibly the greatest hero of Vietnam, and an internationally recognized expert on foriegn policy. They cannot now claim in good conscience, only 12 years later, to have some sort of deep profound respect for our Vietnam vets that was clearly absent when the candidate was not a Dem.

The key question for Sen. Kerry: What did you do for America when you got home?
And IMLTHO, based on his history and voting record, he has done more harm than good.

A dear friend of mine is watching her National Guard son be deployed to Baghdad at the end of this month. They are there and doing a great job. Notice McAwful never says anything about Clintoon's outstanding military record or how Kerry turned his back on the military. What a sleaze ball.
