I happen to notice there was some mention of John Edwards and the Girl Scouts. I'm not sure what started that discussion but it made me think about the Scouts.
Now I know the dems hate the conservative cause so much there were reports Boy Scouts were harassed at the dem convention in 2002.
We also know that kerry was actually in Viet Nam and mentions it a time or thousand. Yes, both candidates served and Bush even was gratious to say that kerry's service was honorable.
So they both served and that issue should have died a long time ago, except kerry doesn't have anything else on his resume. Twenty years in the Senate with nothing to show for it is pretty pathetic. It would also help if he had shown up once in awhile instead of collecting a paycheck.
Which brings us to a service to our country that doesn't hand out paychecks just because someone mirrored an assassinated president. The Boy Scouts.
Could the candidates have the same integrity as an eleven year old entering an organization that changes the soap box derby child into the eighteen year old man ready for adulthood?
The Scout Law is twelve rules that each boy has to know.
Here are the rules and how I believe each candidate would obey them.
A Scout is:
Trustworthy - Bush by a landslide. Mister flip flopper couldn't be trusted to say what he means.
Loyal - Bush again. kerry dumps the first wife for the bigger score and I don't think I have to mention the Swifties.
Helpful - Bush again. It's that old "Tax and Spend" the dems can't seem to forget about. Giving somebody something doesn't help. They have to learn to earn it.
Friendly - I have to say this is a tossup. There really isn't anything friendlier than a used car salesman or a politician during an election.
Courteous - Perhaps Bush again. I saw those still pictures that showed kerry slamming into the little old lady when he ran to the Huey helicopter. If it was a video, I would like to think he apologized but there's no evidence of that. There's also no evidence he didn't.
Kind - I tried to give this one to kerry. Anyone locking lips with a hamster should get some kind of recognition. On the other hand, I don't kill birds for a photoshoot. There's also that pesky abortion issue. Bush again.
Obedient - Bush again. Hey, kerry! You're supposed to show up for work once in awhile. Do the job you're being paid for!
Cheerful - Tossup. There was that little to-do in Vegas with kerry and the missus but we don't know what started it.
Thrifty - A lot of people criticize Bush for spending our money like a drunken sailor. Isn't that what politicians do? On the other hand, you would think someone would know how to spend their own money. Bush again. kerry spends Taraazaa's money like a drunken sailor. Oops. I did say their own money, didn't I? Nope, no way can kerry can get this one. Bush again.
Brave - As much as I would love this one to go to Bush, I can't do it. It has to be a tossup between the two. Off set this one to mean kerry would toss himself on a live grenade if it furthered his career.
Clean - Bush looked like a mess when he was moving that wood brush at the ranch at Crawford. He does clean up nicely. Toss up.
Reverent - Bush. This one took a lot of thought. I was going to ignore the abortion issue and say it was a toss up. I can't do it. I know we can never know what's in the hearts of men but this one is a litmus test.

You seriously don't know anything about the military, do you.
Are you an idiot or a liar? Bush DID serve in the military. He was in the Air National Guard and he served honorably and was honorably discharged and THAT's documented.
ANd I think republicans are LUCKY that the Democrats have not broken open and pecked at the wound of Bush AWOL year as much as we've poked at Kerry's record.
There is no wound of an AWOL year. This has been visited and revisited so many times that only idiots like Michael Moore still buy it. All you have to do is pull out an old copy of JFK, Jr's magazine (George), to get the whole investigative story that documents (there we go back to your word of what's documented) the fact that GWB served honorably in Viet Nam. Was he a war hero? No. Did he serve his commitments honorably? Yes. By all means, please don't throw me in that briar patch brer bear!
Oh, yeah ! The Viking Kitties are on duty 24/7/365 to keep the cockroaches off the threads!The cockroaches HATE us, too!!
Wife hates it when I weekend duty too...
:)
hehe! :^D
hehe! I like the animated Beavis and Butthead GIFs.
Unfortunatly your troll were to stupid to live. You flip floped in you statement so much that I wonder if maybe you were not the Kerry troll clone that I have heard so much about.
I have to admit that was fun. I was thinking of this thread for awhile and I didn't think I had the time to write it. Articles against someone like kerry seem to write themselves. There is no way anyone can accidently slander him. He really is a pathetic person in public and in his private life.
The people in Massachusetts really should hand their heads in shame. I still shake my head when I see someone with an Arkansas license plate.
Bravo...from an Eagle Scout...I can tell you...the Boy Scouts turn boys into real men...world wide!
"What's the difference between the Boy Scouts and the Marine Corps?"
"The Boy Scouts have adult supervision."
