Hello,

Of course you are correct about prior resignations, however, I do believe that the reaction now could be different than in the past. Especially if it become obvious that the "reason" given for it is fake. If this is pulled too late and Kerry is really hurting in the polls (worse than now), I don't think the reaction would be unease with it. Of course, I have been wrong (oh boy have I!) before, so we shall have to wait and see.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

Both Agnew and Nixon resigned due to scandal. Kerry could too. There are many possible premises for resignation. The DEM party will not use the Toricelli reason (we can't win with the Torch, and the people deserve a close race), I don't think. Well, on second thought, maybe they would, but that reason would be incendiary.

The scumbags can whine and squeal about "dirty politics" all they want. It was the scumbags who spent the whole spring bleating about George Bush being "AWOL" from his Guard unit and being a "draft dodger", etc. The White House was forced to produce military records, pay stubs - - even dental records for crying out loud - - until the whole fabricated "scandal" story eventually fell apart. Bush's Guard contemporaries and commanders backed him up, as did all the records.

No, there was never anything to the story from the beginning but the Democrats accomplished what they wanted to do - - smear Bush in the public mind by relentlessly asserting that "there are still some questions". Even now there are plenty of liberal newsrooms who slip the word "questionable" into any reference they make about Bush's Guard service. Okay, scumbag Democrats - - mission accomplished.

And now? And now it is time for the scumbag Democrats to ingest poop and expire.
GO, SWIFT BOAT VETS!!!
