If you like McCain, I wouldn't be bringing up Grant. While Grant,
himself, might have been clean, there was considerable corruption in
his
administration, oh, and allegations of anti-semitism.
I think he's just comparing candidate to candidate, especially looking
ast Harry's overly bogus post on McCain's "unacomplishments. "

"got himself shot down and taken prisoner?"
Harry, is that really how you think?

If so, then Icepick is right.
this DOES sound desperite for the DNC.

Tim, the man has often called me stupid for getting drafted. Yes, that's
how he thinks. Noble of him, yes?

If you are stupid for being drafted, I wonder what he thinks about
someone who volunteers to dig ditches for the Marines?

If it was built by the Marine Corps, it will be the best damn ditch
ever dug.

Followed closely by Squid Seabees - gotta give 'em that. :)

Squid Seabees would dig the ditch. Would be the Squid Marines that guarded
the Squid Seabees as they built the best damn ditch. My brother was a Squid
Seabee. 2 tours at China Beach. Building the hospital you Squid Marine
most likely ended up in.
