A USA Today/Gallup poll gave Mr Giuliani a 16-point lead over his rival Senator John McCain It's a sad day for the Republican party when these two are the front runners.

It's a sad day for the Republican party when these two are the front runners. Don't worry, Mitt Romney's close behind, and unlike McCain and Rudy, he hasn't been a liberal for almost six months now.

The deferment system was inequitable and flawed. It was replaced by the lottery. But, anyone who got a legitimate deferment is not a "draft dodger" in my book. This is not what Bill Clinton did - lie to his ROTC commander. Rudy's boss asked his board to give him a deferment and they did.
That said, I'd have had more respect for Rudy if he'd completed ROTC, taken an Air Force commission and served his time.

Good thread post. The more time that passes the more the details of Rudy Giulaini's life history will be exposed to the public. Rudy must never become the GOP nominee.

How could the bar for weirdness get any lower after the Clinton Administration?

This is not what Bill Clinton did - lie to his ROTC commander. Rudy's boss asked his board to give him a deferment and they did. Rudy received special treatment from the Judge that he worked for. Look at what's in his own campaign document. His defense was that he joined ROTC and then he developed an ear ache. The term draft dodger came from his own campaign document.

The campaign document was a document intended to analyze how his opposition would use his past to attack him. Looks like it was an accurate forecast.
His boss could not issue a deferment, only his draft board could do that. I personally would not call a law clerk so essential an occupation as to justify a deferment, but apparently his draft board felt differently.
To: dirtboy; Spiff
If this is true Rudy is out. The part about dodging the draft and prosecuting draft dodgers may ain't gonna fly among any constituency.

From your post I can assume that if Rudy is running versus Hillary you will either stay home or vote for Her!
