All the time I think about how they have dogged President Bush to DEATH about his National Guard service...look at the lengths Rather went too...Look at Kerry that lying traitor hollering "I WILL NOT HAVE ANYONE WHO DIDNT SERVE WHEN THEY WERE CALLED, QUESTIONING MY PATRIOTISM" or some such nonsense....AND YET, we know Kerry hasnt signed the 180 or whatever that number is to release his full miltary records.. Dan Rather has openly lied about his military record.. Harkin, made that HATEFUL, MEAN, OUTRAGEOUS speech calling our President everything but a human being and we know his military rant is a lie....WHERE IS ALL THE PEOPLE on OUR SIDE, DOGGING THEM about these LIES?? we do have the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the KerryLied folks etc..but I mean the so called journalists doing a dogged piece for an hour on their background lies?? it makes me crazy some days, but then it passes....sheesh I will be GLAD when Nov 2 gets here.. end of rant! this is one of the days its driving me crazy..
Yes. oh, your headline had me thinking of something else. Sorry (sheepishly).
It is painful to become acutely politically aware. You see things clearly, but the reality is very disconserting.
Welcome to hell-light.
Sometimes you just gotta rant...ignore the next five posts that will tell you not to post a new thread. You GO girl!
Agreed. I keep mentioning it on my blog. Everybody in the country needs to be calling on John Kerry to sign Form 180 - and asking why he hasn't signed it. This is not a non-issue. One would think the media had never heard of a 180.
We both had the same thought, but I took the high road. ;-)
Just kidding...
Oh the media has definately heard of a 180. They determine what would be the most wholesome policy for the U.S., and do a 180.
Yeah..me too...change that headline...red faced here
Broadband is now pervasive, and the audiance is hungry for something different.
All of this made possible and NECESSARY because the Dems happened to nominate a traitor. No other Dem candidate would have needed to manufacture dirt on Bush to bury his own dirt.
George W. Bush has released ALL of his military and medical records pertaining to his years in the Texas Air National Guard. Like the vast majority of members of the United States Armed Services, George W. Bush was not assigned to Viet Nam. His father had the misfortune of being a Republican congressman in Lyndon Johnson's (and Ralph Yarbrough's and Lloyd Bentsen's) home state of Texas which was more Democratic then than it is Republican now. My dad spoke of meeting Congressman Bush at a some event and was impressed with what a decent sort of guy he was, but my dad was a loyal Democrat and that was that.
No, George W. Bush didn't get into the TANG because his father was a congressman, but I will grant that it may have had something to do with his father being a WWII fighter pilot in the U. S. Navy. I can certainly identify with the phenomenon, having competed with my dad. He was a Texas National Guard truck driver and cook for 7 years, so I served 10 years as a tank-crewman and -commander, and, like my dad, I was a carpenter.
Grenada and Lebanon were hot spots while I was in the army, but like George W. Bush, I was serving in a unit that wasn't assigned to a theater of combat operations and, like George W. Bush and many others, I viewed the Soviet Union as the biggest threat.
Do I regret not taking part in combat operations? Not at all, because it wasn't really my decision about whether or where I went. Like George W. Bush, I was where I was supposed to be when I was supposed to be there, from 1979 through 1989 (in my case), and I have in my possession very little documentation, apart from my ASVAB scores, DD214 and Honorable Discharge, that would attest to my presence at or absence from any particular place at any particular time. If anybody needs proof, I will sign SF180 (if I haven't already; I don't remember) and, after that, as with George W. Bush, the entire matter is out of my hands. I can't force anyone to find misplaced or lost documents and I hope nobody replaces or supplements my records with forgeries or fakes, but I would have a hard time distinguishing them; it HAS been 15 years, after all, since I ETS'd.
The problem is that, like George W. Bush's records, mine aren't terribly interesting; I met or exceeded the standards of conduct, attendance and performance in accordance with military regulations and the orders of those appointed over me, as is the case with most members of the armed services. What would interest me is the ENTIRE military record of a genuine American hero like John F. Kerry. How cool would it be to just sit back, chill out and read the REAL story, as written in the words of those whose orders John Kerry so intrepidly, gallantly and dashingly carried out.
I KNOW!!! Why don't I insert these hyperlinks, so you good folks will have something to read while you think it over?

I, for one, can just barely contain my enthusiasm over the final installment of "The Adventures of John Kerry, American Hero," as soon as he signs that form.
I think about it a lot, however, my it is different from your it
The test of a good headline is attention.
Yes, I often think about it and follow up by doing it.
I think about it all the time, except when I'm sleeing, in which case I'm dreaming about it, and when I'm actually doing it I am thinking about how I can do it better.
What ever "It" is... is...
No, I can't. I'm too pissed about it too. There really is no justice on this issue!
I used to be With "it". But then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't "it", and what's "it" seems scary and wierd.
It think you mean to say, with your best Clintonian accent, 'Depends on the meaning of the word 'it'.
oh my gosh "BLUSH"
I never intended for my post to sound "meanie" ..
and thanks for the responces.. sometimes i just wanna know other folks are as upset as I am and see all the bias as much as I do...
