President Bush was a decorated fighter pilot. Vice President Cheney had valid legal deferments. Rush had a serious medical condition that prevented him from serving. The only one that fits the title of Draft Dodger is Clinton. Your liberalism is showing.

As much as it pains me to defend slick willy:

All of this boils down to the simple premise, is using political influence to get out of the war moral? I really don't get all this dissembling.

People don't like Mccain so his time as a POW is mocked, "all he did is get shot down"(a little aside, ever wonder why mccain moves like a gimp and always has his arms down at his sides? it's from injuries from torture as a POW). But people like Bush and Cheney so they get a free ride. Yet Rudy is a pansy and a dodger for doing the same thing. Which is it? Do people really believe what they're saying or are they morally relativising to make themselves feel better?
