I don't have favorite in the Governors race. However, it is amazing to witness the hypocracy of those who do.

Don't necessarily consider the fact that someone in the military is the best qualified candidate. After spending over 20+ years around the AF, I would guarantee that serving in the military even in a combat zone does not qualify one to be Governor or any other office. In fact, some people I have known in the military are the least qualified. You minimize military experience, when it doesn't fit Jeb. Bill Clinton would probably agree with your logic

Somehow flying a plane even as a member of the National Guard takes a lot of skill and they could have been called into combat but the mission of that wing was to protect our borders. You enhance military experience when it applies to the President. Bill Clinton would probably reject your logic.

I think you have gotten disoriented with your attempt to tie a US Marine combat veteran to the draft dodging clinton, and you are marching backards. There are a lot more brave US Marines that will soon be going into combat. They deserve a better future than to be compared to bill clinton when they are no longer useful to your political agenda.

Hi ghostrider, I have not seen your posts in awhile. And, as I recall, you and I don't usually agree, but, here I think I will perhaps side with you by making this one point.

A person I know who is a very thoughtful voter and does not toe a party line recently said to me he feels all candidates for an office that has the power to send men in to war should have served in our nation's military and he wished this too was a requirement for the job of Commander in Chief.

I post this person's opinion not to slight GW or Gov. Bush, but merely to add the fact that IMO, many average voters want people with military experience in political office, if said office includes the power to send our nation's sons and daughters to war.
