Conservatives, and specifically Free Republic, beat the hell out of liberal Bill Clinton on his draft deferment.

Yea and where did it get you? 8 years of him! Beating someone on whether they served in the military is fruitless and doesn't work. Try again!

It isn't about not serving in the military. It's about special treatment to stay out of the draft.

Oh, and considering that Clinton never won a majority, I'd say this had some impact. The GOP was just too dumb to run right against the likes of Slick.

There really isn't anything Rudy Giuliani has ever done or could ever do that would even make you blink in your support, is there?

You're really losing credibility on this one. This isn't a difference of opinion on issues or where to rank them. This stinks to high heaven and deserves condemnation.

Bringing up Clinton's draft deferment did not get him elected. There were a number of other elements which lead to that.

We're talking about the PRIMARY ELECTION where we're trying to decide which REPUBLICAN candidate to put forward as the Republican nominee. You seem to keep forgetting, over and over again, that we're NOT in the general election. If you can somehow rationalize voting in the PRIMARY for a draft dodger over a conservative Republican candidate VIETNAM VETERAN who has a son serving in Iraq, then you have no shame at all. It is amazing to me that there is absolutely no revelation about Giuliani, no information about his awful positions on Republican issues, NOTHING bad enough that it could possibly dissuade you from supporting him.
