Joh-John: When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
Feels like: "Trust me. I'm a lawyer."
20,000 of his closest friends, at an average donation rate of $ 59 per.
Due to my poor study habits and outstanding beer drinking habits I lost my deferment in 1968. But I showed 'em they weren't going draft me, so I enlisted to fly helicopters in RVN. I showed 'em good.
. . .
The year Edwards became eligible for the draft, the military drafted 49,514 men, according to Selective Service records - tapping draftees who had lottery numbers as high as 95.
I'm having a hard time parsing this... Isn't the article's author contradicting himself by claiming that in 1972, people with lottery numbers within the range of 1 to 95 were drafted, and Edwards had a number of 178, but more than half of the people drafted had numbers higher than that? Something doesn't compute...
Edwards is just another yellow coward who didn't have the balls to enlist and now he wants to try and pull himself up out of the gutter by putting those of us who did serve in Nam down...
Close but no cigar, Edwards...
Ya didn't have the stones to serve then and ya don't have the stones now...
Semper Fi,

For crying out loud. SIX YEARS flying military jets is a BETRAYAL of one's country? Does that mean anyone who isn't currently fighting in Iraq is a TRAITOR?
A class I taught to some young men in prison came to mind as I read this.
"One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating......................And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions." Mark 12:28-34
Even if you aren't a person of faith it wouldn't hurt you to look up the middle of quote.
Our discussion revolved around what is the purpose of debate. One said it is to win, I countered that the purpose of debate is to seek the truth.
I then asked why no one dared ask him any more questions? The guys answered right in that the TRUTH had been reached and there was nothing more to say.
WHEN WE REACH THE TRUTH REGARDING JOHN KERRY, THE DEBATE WILL STOP, UNTIL THEN............
Flush the Johns!
This guy is a Goober, where do they find these people?
As Edwards said, if you want to know about John Kerry's character, ask the men who served with him in Vietnam.
His kung-fu is weak.
"Second, those attacks are being financed by friends of George Bush."
They just lost the Vet vote. Ever vet in the country and every serviceman and woman feels deeply offended. What the hell is wrong with their campaign??? <snicker
Maybe he acted on the same boat as Kerry in a "Cambodian Christmas."
He played Tiny Tim.
I don't think that we'll be hearing much from Edwards about his legal career. There is a new 527, made up of business men who are determined to nail Edwards as the main cause of rising medical insurance costs.
paging Edwards, Mr Edwards, I have a dead cat I want to talk to, can you channel for me?
