“He opposed the war on tactical and strategic grounds.”

That is his defense?

A deferment for a law clerk?

OK, I didn't do so well. ; )

Apparently, he was needed to prosecute draft dodgers so his life was too precious to risk.

Precious. He's precious. ROTFLMAO.

Swift Boats co-founder John O’Neill said the only reason Vietnam became a major issue in 2004 was that Kerry kept bringing it up.

“I do think Kerry was a special case,” O’Neill said. “Whatever Rudy Giuliani or the rest of these people did or didn’t do in terms of the Vietnam War, I don’t think that’s a legitimate issue in the presidential campaign of 2008.”

I agree with O'neill on this. Rudy is way wrong on more than enough issues to use against him. However, if this would sink his nomination, go for it!

Mark Salter, McCain’s chief of staff, said he had “no idea” whether Giuliani’s deferment would become a presidential campaign issue.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Does a bear $hit in the woods?

( Thats how front runners are whittled down to size.)

"He opposed the war on tactical and strategic grounds."

What does Rudy know about tactical and strategic military tactics?

Everyone that I know of, got whatever deferment they could to avoid this undeclared war called Viet Nam. I would never hold that against anyone. Yes, I supported winning the war that we were fighting, but in that war (because of the college deferment) it truly was the smartest ones who avoided combat.

[Lurker]

I can't see him taking a shot like that--it would cheapen him

It's not possible for McCain to cheapen himself any further.

It's going to be great fun watching the Guliani campaign implode. I'm enjoying it already.

“A younger Mitt Romney became eligible for the draft in 1970, but his number was not called in the military draft,” Romney spokesman Kevin Madden said. “During that time, he did spend several years as a missionary for his church in France.”

That won't be easy to characterize in a positive light. Gore went to Divinity School, failed and went to Vietnam. LOL

Yep...he got his law degree took down the Mob at personal risk to his own life ..saving thousands from the throat grip of the mob...a real coward...LOL

Sounds like a case for Dan Rather. It could be hotter than a San Antone parking lot in July. On the other hand, it could be colder than a nor-easter in Amarillo in January.
