Now on Drudge:


FLASHBACK: Kerry in 2000 claimed it is a matter of character that Bush avoided duty oversees by joining the Texas Air National Guard. No documents have been found to show he reported for duty as ordered in Alabama in 1972... 'Those of us who were in the military wonder how it is that someone who is supposedly serving on active duty, having taken that oath, can miss a whole year of service without even explaining where it went,' said Kerry... Developing...


FLASHBACK: KERRY ALLUDED TO BUSH AS DESERTER

Drudge blew it, he has the wrong Kerry.

Kerry must have a real short memory. Wonder where he was when it came to light that Clinton was a draft dodger. Of course, since Kerry himself showed contempt for his own military service (I hear he was in Vietnam), I suppose it was okay that Clinton was a draft dodger. But then, given Kerry's own history, I hardly think he has room to be criticizing anybody else.

There is no doubt in my mind that Kerry is a lying, self-serving SOB and thinks it is perfectly acceptable to dupe the gullible and get himself elected based on that "end justifies the means" philosophy. Deliberate deception and dishonesty is a despicable characteristic in any person, but exponentially moreso in one who would be the leader of the free world.

OK..Red.... take a chill pill and get the facts straight, I have 15 years Active and 10 years in the reserves. In the Reserves and Guard, you can get what we in the Navy call Authorized Absences where you do no drill for up to 6 months. Further he did not miss a year, he drilled during the fiscal Quarter in question, but he drilled away from his command because he was working on a campaign. This is allowed even today, in fact it is more the rule than the exception. I live in Illinois and drill in Virginia, I do not go to Virginia every month. I was out the country for 6 months, I did not drill, I was on "flex-drill" program. So unless you understand the Reserves and Guard which has many unique rules, do not make assumptions. Further more, I am tired of this he crap about he was only in the Guard. (not that you made that statement, dems are) As if that makes us less dedicated!!!! OK, I am off my high horse.
