Now, now. First, I think we all have to agree that we hold the president to a somewhat higher standard than Ken. Second, Bush might have been every bit as drugged out. We'd know if they released his arrest record. Hell, he might have been in the slam at the time in question. Yes, but we at least know he got paid for it, which the White House equates with "service."

Well, I broke one of my new year's resolutions by responding to a political or
drug related post. Hopefully, I can regroup and hold to the resolution, but being an election year and all, it's gonna be tough. {:-( EOT for me. George Adams "All good fishermen stay young until they die, for fishing is the only dream of youth that doth not grow stale with age." ---- J.W Muller |

BTW, before anyone making less than $100,000 per annum tells
me about the wondrous tax cuts the middle class received, please do the math and subtract figures for state, local tax increases, as well as increased user fees and taxes on luxuries. Also, please subtract adequate amount for future debt service, and then tell me how much this tax cut helps us all. Tom A book worth reading is _The Politics of Rich and Poor_, by Kevin Philips. Philips was the Republican strategist credited with inventing the "Southern Strategy" that got Nixon elected to the Presidency. He then served as Assistant Attorney General until he saw what was going on in the White House (it came to be called "Watergate"), when he resigned in protest. When ALL taxes are considered, the poor pay a higher percentage of their income than the rich do. In other words, we have a regressive tax system in the United States. vince |

Yeah, and after the taxpayers spent a million bucks training him to fly aircraft Shrub just up and decided to blow off his flight physical and got himself grounded. And it was just a coincidence that this particular physical, for the first time, included a drug test. I don't know why the Alabama AWOL is the story here. There's enough documented sleaze on the record already. All of the sudden, military service and sleeze are an issue? Oh, I see, it only matters when Republicans are involved. When we're talking about blow job Bill and his wife, the world's most succesfull commodity trader, it's a different story.

You don't remember? You, me, dubya, the angel dust, the '67 Malibu
convertible? The border? ....me neither....and proud of it.... john "Ken Fortenberry" wrote in message m... http://www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/index.html If you saw Commander AWOL doing Guard duty between May and November of 1972 you could win ten grand (for the USO). !! If I could remember ANYTHING from 1972, other than a three finger lid of leafy Mexican cost $15, it would be a friggin' miracle. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry |

Sending 547 (and counting) American soldiers to their deaths under, at best, a trumped up pretense and at worst because of outright lies, fits my definition of high crimes and misdemeanors a lot better than lying about a blow job. -- Ken Fortenberry |

The Devos, I mean Demos, told us for 8 years that character didn't matter. So, I believed them. That was a big change for me. Now, I have to change again. Let's agree that both Clinton and Bush are draft dodgers, OK? Where does that leave us? The word "screwed" comes to mind. Does anyone really think it makes any difference anymore who is president? Every four years it's the same old ****. Both parties are going to sock it to either big business or the rich and help the little guy out. I'm ready for a viable 3rd party. A party with a candidate who will cut a wide swath through pork, corruption, graft and overspending and let the taxpayer keep more of his hard earned money.

Let's agree that both Clinton and Bush are draft dodgers, OK? Where does that leave us? First of all, Clinton is no longer the President, so can we please stop talking about him? Second, Bush is now the President. You agree that he's a draft dodger. I think he was worse than that. He was actually AWOL from his draft-dodging. Bush's probable opponent volunteered for extremely dangerous duty in Viet Nam and came home with the Silver Star, Bronze Star with V, three awards of the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, Navy Presidential Unit Citation, Navy Unit Commendation Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and the Vietnam Campaign Medal. If Bush hadn't played dress-up on that aircraft carrier, and if he and his surrogates didn't question the patriotism of people like John McCain, Max Cleland, and John Kerry, I'd give him a pass on his military record. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
