Rangel: Bush Had 'Good Reason' to Avoid Nat'l Guard Drug Test

He does make the allegation. He says "may", but then says the baseball players are avoiding urine tests for the *same reason*.

Enough with the "meaning of is". Rangel meant to allege and that's how I'll take it.

He's backing Annan and he's going to continue this kind of baseless attack on President Bush.

So be it, he is writing his own pathetic and sick little "legacy" (a favorite word of the psycho left).

[cyncooper]

No, but you don't think a little thing like facts matter the dems, do you?

[cyncooper]

This has been gone over and over and the Air National Guard did NOT do drug testing as part of the regular physical that GWB would have taken had he planned to maintain flight status. Since he was being rotated off of that status he did not take the physical. Nothing to do with a drug screening that would not have been done anyway.

[Beckwith]

Chuck you Farlie!

Prove it or STFU.

[Gritty]

"He must have had a good reason why he didn't take that physical and lost his flyer's license," the Harlem Democrat mused

Air Force Pilots don't "lose" their "flyer's license" when they go overdue on a flight physical. They simply can't fly as a crew-member until they get it. Besides, there is no such thing as a "flyer's license".

One would think His Eminence, Congressman Charlie Dumbsquat, would at least try and get some facts in order before he went about lying about them.

[SeaBiscuit]

President Bush is a sitting President winning his second term so any BS about his NG service is not only irrelevant at this point it's utter nonsense and obviously meant by the demonrats to keep painting GWB with a nasty brush and keep the anti-Bush part of America steamed up. To what end I have to wonder...

Am I the only one to remember that drug tests in the military didn't start until '80-'82?

No.

[daviscupper]

I think you are confusing him with the Reverend Sharpton but I agree with you that he is also a POS.

[Jorge]

...Bush used illegal drugs while serving in the National Guard.

WHO CARES

[Diva Betsy Ross]

I have heard many rumors that Rangel is a coke head. He must have a very good reason to lie to us and say he isn't. :]

[SERE_DOC]

If Rangel was a cacausian his happy butt would be tarred and feathered by every fringe looser group out there, but since he ain't it's ok for him to drag all this old crap out

If Rangel was significant his happy butt would be looking for a real job, but since he ain't it's ok for him to drag all this old crap out

Hey chuck great Idea about bringing back the draft, so why didn't you vote for your own bill?
Maybe your just a racist swine, who likes do a bit of race baiting BECAUSE YOU ARE USELESS AT DOING ANYTHING ELSE!. Just like most liberals

Just a thought.

[Wil H]

Rangel is right.

"He must have had a good reason why he didn't take that physical and lost his flyer's license,"..

He didn't plan on flying again - that's a good reason.

[skybolt]

You do not understand. I was not am not inferring in any sort of way Bush avoided anything.


I was only responding to the issue did drug testing take place during that time. I cant speak for all the armed forces, but at the 2/1 Cav Battalion US Army we had it in the early 70's.

"which had been largely confined to the lunatic fringe"

But Charlie IS the lunatic fringe...

[Alissa]

If the Dems took back the House, Charlie would be chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Can you imagine the possibilities!
