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. |

Of course, I didn't get drafted until AFTER the then-Democratic Congress re-instated the expired draft law. That would be during the unpopular war a few years back that a Democrat started, but a Republican ended. Doesn't matter which party is in power. They all do the same thing. They just do it to different people. TJ |
