Another shocking revelation!!! I can't believe how this has fallen apart!!! Next, Barnes will recant? I bet there is a ton of dirt on him somewhere, please someone find it. I didn't know this either, Fox interviewed an officer who served with Bush. Apparently, nobody needed special favors to get into the Pilot program with the Guard in Texas. If you had the brains, physical conditioning, etc., they let you in. The waiting list was for non-coms. Then, Killian's son says Bush came to his father twice to volunteer for Palace Alert which would have sent him to Vietnam. So, if I were the WH, let all the Rats go at it, they coming apart at the seams. I guess if I were Bush or Cheney I might say something like:
"Look how they(DNC/MSM) have messed this Guard issue up! And you trust these people to run a war???!!
"I bet there is a ton of dirt on him somewhere, please someone find it."
The dirt on Barnes is already widely discussed, even if 60 minutes decided to ignore it.
From the little I've heard, he's a MAJOR Kerry fundraiser, we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars, he was NOT Lt. Gov. of Texas when he claimed he boosted Bush for the spot in the Guard, he was involved in some lottery scandal (no details known by me, maybe it was only a kerfuffle), he is on record, UNDER OATH, with an opposite story to the one he just told to 60 minutes, his daughter has voluntarily made the rounds with the radio hosts refuting his recent statements and saying he's doing it to promote his planned book.
I'm only repeating what I've heard, I can't personally vouch for the veracity of any of these statements. There, I'm a better man than Dan Rather, and I am just a girl.
There is all kinds of dirt on Ben Barnes that he himself created.He is from the Sam Rayburn/Lindon Johnson DNC when they totally controlled Texas politics. I lived there for 36 years and watched the rise a fall of this bandit. Barnes was involved in a huge paint scandle kick back for painting the hiways and byways of Texas roads. His rising star in the DNC fell like a bomb right after his Lt. Gov. time in office. HE didn't make the Gov seat. His political past is checkered with a lot of devious stuff. Kerry apparently has promised him a place in his administration should he (Kerry) win because Barnes has raised a lot of money for him.
