Ex-Guard official says questions should center on Bush's service

I searched, but did not find this. The Dims are really out to get Bush over the Guard thing.

Watch between now and the first debate: The focus on Bush's Guard records will explode, and we will go into that first debate with a tied race...at least according to the polls Keith Oberforehead decides to quote from selectively.

"Why aren't we focusing on the content?" Strong said, adding that he believes there are holes in Bush's official Guard record.

Could it be because the content is "make believe", Robert?

The parrot is not "resting". It's dead!

They are insane with hatred.

The President has been the Commander In Chief the last four years.
People will make their minds up about him by his record as the President, not on his Guard service.

"Burkett said he saw documents from Bush's file discarded in a trash can a few days later at Camp Mabry in Austin. Burkett described them as performance and pay documents."

What this "journalist" neglected to mention is that the witness who could corroborate Burketts story says it never happened.

And the records he described were kept in Colorado, not Texas.

Other than that it's a pretty accurate story.

The REAL Robert Strong

Kerry's people are always late, lame and fair game. Enjoy!

The entire thing is ridiculous to begin with. What the president did in the guard where he served honorably matters not. What they are doing is trying make a war time President seem like he was lousy in the military. All the while a darn TRAITOR is his opponent, and the media is silent about that!

I really do not think there is anything "explosive" left on the NG story as far as the President is concerned.
I bet the Rather 60 minutes piece last Sunday was suppose to be the BIG early October surprise.

Can we say BACKFIRE!

>"Other than that it's a pretty accurate story."<


LOL

[Arkinsaw]

Those are the two fundamental questions,"

No, those are the two questions that the American people really don't give a damn about and are frankly, tired of having shoved into their ears every five minutes for four damn years.

The Democrats are simply blinded to this fact because THEY consider it the most important item. They don't give a flying flip what the American people think of this story because THEY care so much about it.

We had some of the same syndrome with Clinton, but not to this insane level.

"I really do not think there is anything "explosive" left on the NG story as far as the President is concerned."



Maybe, but has that stopped them before?

I don't have any faith in the MSM just sitting back and thinking, "Oh, well, we have nothing more to unload on Bush." As I said, we will see nonstop "Questions on the President's NG service" from now on.

Could it be because the content is "make believe", Robert?

I liked the comment from the Manchester Union-Leader:

"Rather’s latest defense is that the documents might be fake, but the information they contain is real. It sounds like he’s describing a novel."

[Redcoat LI]

Well, compared to Dan Rather.

[Inyokern]

Strong, Jim Moore and Burkett seem to have been the primary sources for the CBS story. All of them are obviously Bush haters but, if I am not mistaken, none of them actually knew Bush in the TexANG.

The old secretary obviously played a role too but, for some reason, CBS ignored her insistence that the documents were fakes.

CBS apparently brushed off every disagreeing witness as "pro-Bush."

[Exigence]

The focus on Bush's Guard records will explode, and we will go into that first debate with a tied race...

I doubt it. Nobody except the DNC and Rather care about Bush's Guard records. The DNC just doesn't have anything else to run with and they can't get their candidate to let go of VietNam.

See the latest Gallup Poll? With CBS's help, Bush is increasing in the polls as coverage of this story increases. I say, keep showing the picture of Bush in his uniform. It helps, not hurts.

[John Valentine]

If this crap were working for the Kerry and the Democrats, Bush wouldn't be up 14%.

The truth is that the Democrats are desperate and willing to try anything, no matter how low, disgusting, or insane.

[Ichneumon]

"Why aren't we focusing on the content?" Strong said,

Because, you moron, even if every rumor and allegation was 100% true, at most it would mean that as a young man, Bush was somewhat of a slacker. This would be the most trivial "scandal" ever to be raised to the level of a campaign issue.

What's next -- a "Nightline" examination of the time that Bush had some overdue library books?

[Waco]

Kerry will be dumped by the Mrs. after 11/02/04, will marry Jane Fonda, they'll settle in Cuba, the socialist paradise, and pick sugar cane. That's all fake but the thrust is what counts.
