This is an email I received this morning ... from (a seldom seen or spoke to) friend of 30 years. We used to work together and still have a few frinds in common. This person is rabidly democratic. When I send her the other side of the story she always fires back her own version of what has made this country great ... democrats ...

I now understand why the Bush camp went to such extreme lengths to smear Kerry's military service record. It was an attempt to overshadow the scandal that was set to be revealed about Bush and the Air National Guard.

It now appears that the release this week of a video of Ben Barnes talking about being ashamed of helping Bush get into the Guard was a mere prelude of things to come.

Citizens for Honest Fighter Pilots has learned that 60 Minutes is set to reveal how in 1968, Bush got Ben Barnes to ask the head of the Texan Air National Guard, General James Rose, to give Bush a spot in the pilot-training program which would automatically excuse him from the draft and allow him to avoid service in Vietnam.

This alone is not necessarily new information. The real scandal comes from the revelation that Bush later allowed a company to keep a lucrative Texas state contract in exchange for Barnes' remaining silent about helping Jr get into the guard.

Like in Bribe with a capital B.

To many of us this is not necessarily a new story. However, I predict that new details will be revealed. Basically because I don't believe 60 Minutes would feature an old worn-out story without some new and interesting details of proof to back it up.

Bush should never have attacked Kerry's war record and enraged Kerry supporters (like me for instance). The smarter plan would have been to set up the Swiftvets to go after Kerry just like they did, and then make a huge dramatic show of condemning their conduct and hope that the democrats would show Jr the same consideration if and when the story came out.

The funniest part of it all, is that it probably would have worked.

Rove must be slipping. Why didn't he think of that?

Oh, yeah, right. This story was old in *2000* yet the media hasn't hesitated to regurgitate it over and over and over. Why? Because they will do ANYTHING to get Kerry in the White House.

The only way to get a delusional friend or a Rat is to rub their noses into the feces (like a dog) that has defecated on your rug. You hold their heads steady with a firm grasp and rub it and rub it until they get the point.

There is no relationship between the Swift Boat Veterans and the Bush Administration. It's a totolly false myth that Democrats and Media, and know they are lying and distorting the truth. The truth is easy to see doing research from your computer keyboard.

However, the Democrats and their 527s like MoveOn.org are a single integrated operation. They coordinate, plan, and organize together. Lib. Media workers are on Kerry's payroll. see the Begala thread. Same goes for Carville.

OBTW, Ben Barnes has a very long donors list to the Democrats.

T'is good to see the Kerry campaign attacking the National Guard issue again...

Citizens for Honest Fighter Pilots has learned that 60 Minutes is set to reveal how in 1968, Bush got Ben Barnes to ask the head of the Texan Air National Guard, General James Rose, to give Bush a spot in the pilot-training program which would automatically excuse him from the draft and allow him to avoid service in Vietnam.

The logic escapes me. How can one be excused from the draft, when one is in the service already? And how could one expect to avoid Vietnam if they were in the NG? Many Guard units went to Vietnam.

Methinks either the Kerry campaign (and surrogates) is imploding, or the Left is having brain farts.
