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?


LOL!

That's a good comeback line which I've never thought of.

"I might be stupid for getting drafted, but I'm not so stupid that I
volunteered!"

After a few beers, that line could start a pretty good bar fight.

Could drive a wedge between Krause and his sock puppet Jim H too.
Imagine; insulting Jim H's only source of pride.

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. :)

You boys ought to run for political office. After all, you both were in
the military. That certainly would convince me to vote for you. :)

In all honesty, either one, would be a better candidate than some I've
seen in recent years.

No thanks. I enjoy a fairly decent reputation for being me.
I don't want to throw it all away or destroy it.
