Barnes equates going into the National Guard with running away to Canada to escape the draft. I'm done!

Barnes was young enough to be in the military during this time. Where's the second-guessing on *his* lack of service?

"How Bush can get out of doing his drill from "now" through November."

CBS has found some "new papers."

Aren't there some freepers who have TV cards that can capture the transcript? Would be nice to post on the thread for everyone.

CBS "expert" doesnt' see anything "discordanant" in the way things were done back then.

I don't get any of this, Bush scored more points than necessary, 50 I think, each and every year of his service, every year he was in and everything he did has a paper trail, what is the problem here? I must be missing something.

Dan Blather needs to find new papers about Kerry. Why is it they don't dig for his like they do Dubya's??? I've used my barf bad about four times already!

Dan Barlett on O'Reilly after Korb says years ago he did misspeak about Harvard and Boston service. He made a mistake, did not "change his story".

Back to Sixty Minutes coverage.

This is pathetic. None of this is anything new.

Don't you like the way all these "new papers" come from a dead man?

Bush flew fighter jets for FOUR years and got an honorable discharge vs Kerry's 4 months in Vietnam and visits w/enemy in Paris?

Now Barnes saying how he lost sleep over helping all these young men. Oh yeah, I'm sure he lost sleep all the way to the bank.

OH FGS, It's been a long time since I've tried to sit through a Blather "expose" but this is ridiculous. Does Blather remember where HE was during VIETNAM?

Look at Dan Rather, acting like he doesn't know this went on.

Do they REALLY want to go into this "getting people special treatment?"

Kerry had quite a few people; how did HE get into the Naval Reserve? How did he get out early????
