A former senior Virginia Air National Guard commander, who served with George W. Bush in the Texas Air Guard, says Bush volunteered for Vietnam combat service but was turned down because he did not have the required flight experience.

William J. Campenni, a retired Air Guard colonel, also said absences such as Bush's from his unit were common in the Air Guard during the period of Bush's service and still are.

Yes, but when did Bush have cavities, and when did he know it? Can a man who doesn't floss his teeth be entrusted with the presidency? Film at 11.

The liberals won't care, they are psychotic about this National Guard stuff. The evidence being accumulated that supports President Bush is pretty darn impressive, though. Am kind of glad it was raised this early in the campaign and wasn't one of the Democrats' standard last-minute smear jobs, when there wouldn't be time to respond.

The treasonous DemoScum filth will stop at nothing to bring down the president, and in the process, hand the keys to this nation to the Islamofascists.

Bush's recently released dental records show tooth No. 3 missing. Shouldn't this missing tooth be charged with going AWOL?!?!?!?!

/Sarcasm

BTW, don't believe the Convention Wisdom. The White House loves this story -- shows the Democrats and the presstitutes for the petty, foolish, desperate bastards they are.

I hear Terry McAuliffe or one of the other mindless Jackels on the left, has said that "Just because his Teeth were in Alabama, it doesn't mean George W. Bush was...."

I could be wrong...but I suspect Dubya/Rove are just praying that some
Dems start an moronic investigation into Dubya's service.
The trap is set...looks like the dim-witted Donkeys are taking the bait!

It is an early warning of what we're up against. These treasonous scoundrels are playing political games with our national security in a time of war.

I think these traitors have only succeded in uniting us. It will be a long slog ahead.

One thing is for sure they could not have done this with algore. Now I understand why JFKERRY brought forth upon that stage in IOWA that 1 Republican he saved all those years ago.

They really believed that this was a winning hand.

Now JFKerry it is your turn, you show us your records.
