This is an earnest request for help. I have limited time for research but am putting together an article to rebutt the original story "Bush's Parial History" that was in the Spokesman and would also like any information or links anyone has regarding the release of Bush's record medical or military and Kerry's. Thank you for your help in advance.

So it's Bushs fault Kerry won't release his records?

But this contract is different, he insisted. It will "bring us back together by honoring our values, expanding the middle class, making our economy stronger and our nation more secure."

Kerry's idea for expanding the middle class is to tax the well-to-do until they're no longer well-to-do.

I don't have much to tell you that will help in any debates on Monday except to say that I did the same thing in the military as did Kerry. I went where they told me to go. Also, as with Kerry, my miltary experience didn't get me any closer to foreign policy credentials needed in handling the military these days.

Most presidents have a trial by fire in this area. It seems to me Bush has had such a trial, one that gave him a second round of military experience, and this time as far more of an inner circle participant than he was in the early 1970's (or that I was at the same time or that Kerry was a year or two or three earlier than that).

The fact is, if it's military experience that makes a man qualify in the presidential sweepstakes, it seems to me that recent military experience (since, say, 2001) makes Bush eminently more qualified than Kerry. Bush has all the expeience and Kerry has none.
