Why don't you do what deport suggested, and go look in the campaign material from the 2000 election. There were dozens of articles, explanations by the Texas Air National Guard, etc.
If you are interested, go look. Meanwhile, the reason this hasn't died is that this columnist is one of those far-left loonies who grasps on anything to smear the President.
You are skating on thin ice here, in my opinion. I have seen the disingenuous act from the democrat disruptors before. It is easy to spot, as deport has demonstrated. Now go research the information yourself. Google is quite helpful if you are truly interested in finding out the truth.
As I stated in another reply on this thread, I've read everything in this forum's archives on this topic. I found a lot of angry comments, but I didn't find a citation or link to an official position on the topic. Surely President Bush's staff must have prepared an official response at some time, so where is it?
