Don't have to as it's an established fact.

"Competition for the few openings in the National Guard was intense,
and there was a waiting list of 100,000 nationally at the time. Bush
took the Air Force officer and pilot qualification tests on January
17, 1968. He scored 25%, the lowest possible passing grade on the
pilot aptitude portion. On his application form, he listed his
"background qualifications" as "none." But despite the waiting list,
his low score and his lack of qualifications, Bush was given a
highly-coveted spot and was sworn in on May 27 for a six-year
commitment, taking a solemn oath to protect and defend the
U.S. Constitution and the United States of America."

No it's not. It's called a plan to enter public life and not work for a

office have resigned their seat.


And, others have not. What's your point? Do you live in Mass? Why do

Bush is a liar. That's all. He's been a liar all his life, and now
he's a liar in the White House. He picks liars to work for him, like
Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice. He was a drunk, shirked his military
service, was possibly into cocaine, and has done nothing for the
economy or the environment. He was a weak governor of Texas, as are
all governors.

Finally, his wife, told him to quit drinking or she'd divorce him. To
his credit he stop drinking, but took up religion instead. Not much of
an improvement, but for someone of his slight mental intellect, better
than nothing. Why did Laura sell marijuana?

Hey, there's another winning line for Kerry. Attack all Christians, Jews and
Muslims who believe in their faith. It'll do wonders to cement his atheist
base. I think Kerry badly needs you as an adviser.


Gee, you got it right, except substitute either Karl Rove or Bush for

I agree! Bush knows the facts. He just lies about them!

I look for this election to be characterized by massive vote fraud
concentrated on the Republicans' end of the spectrum in the area of blacks'
ballots. They're already trying to set up the smoke screen by making claims
about voter "disenfranchisement." It's the old game of trying to point to

Vote for Bush if you think these are good things:

.. Bush emptied the Social Security trust fund by $507 billion to help offset
fiscal irresponsibility and at the same time slash Social Security benefits.
.. Bush cut Medicare by 17 percent and reduce veterans' benefits and military pay.
.. Bush eliminate overtime pay for millions of Americans and allowed
oil prices to rise by 50 percent.
.. Bush gave tax cuts to businesses that sent American jobs overseas, and,
in fact, by policy encouraged their departure.
.. Bush gave away billions of tax dollars in government contracts without
competitive bids.
.. Bush involve this country in a deadly and highly questionable war, and
.. Bush took a budget surplus and turned it into the worst deficit in the
history of the United States, creating a debt in just four years that
will take generations to repay.

I hope you all enjoyed your $300 check. I hope you think it was worth

I wonder how you can compare the courage of a decorated war hero with the

That is NOT what they want to hear. I suggest Bush was bingeing to help

Where?

I'm not disagreeing with either of you but each state has NG units and it is
very likely some had waiting lists and others did not. It would certainly be
in character for LBJ to have the draft quota lowered in selected states and
with less threat from the draft board there'd be fewer eager to join the NG.
