“...do we really want to pissing contest over our draft dodgers vs. their draft dodgers?”
Questioning a medical exemption, especially one as conveniently timed as Biden’s, is a far cry from casually throwing a “Draft Dodger” label around. In fact, by the standards used by the dims (as well as you), I’m a DD, since I both had student deferments and then enlisted to avoid being drafted when those deferments went away.
Actually, I don’t really give a rat’s a$$ if Biden’s medical deferment was fraudulent or not. I don’t think that I’d have wanted him anywhere around me back in The Day, in combat or no, and I promise that I won’t hurt his or anyone’s little feelings by calling ‘em by any name at all.
JMHO, considering the perfect sh**storm the libs and their pets in the MSM usually lay on anyone they consider an opponent and especially the all-out gang rape they’ve administered to the entire Palin family (unborn infants and all) it’s about time to take off the gloves and give the bast**ds a little payback.
If this deferment thing has any wheels and Biden so much as mentions the military, I’d say we wrap all the documentation we can find around a very long, sharp stick and jam it right up every lib a$$ available, beginning with Biden and the entire staff of the NYSlime.
Then what qualifies one as a 'draft dodger' in your eyes? Biden's asthma apparently does. What about Buchanan's knee or Limbaugh's cyst? Were those conveniently timed? How much timing went into all the deferements that Giuliani and Rove and Thompson and Lott and Graham and all the others arrainged.
You want to limit draft dodgers to Democrats then have at it. Most will not use your oh-so-convenient definition, and any attempts at hanging that label on Biden 40 years later is going to also hang it on the GOP leadership as well. And if that prevents Biden from even mentioning the military then a large sampling of GOP leadership and pundits had better keep their mouth's zipped on the services as well.
