QuoteJohn hates Bush with such a passion that he can't argue without mentioning his name. The next four years are going to be difficult for him.
I love how you keep bringing up this line. I notice you didn't respond to my posting pointing out all the mentions of Clinton that you've made in defense of Bush. Must have been a difficult 8 years for you.

They tried to ask the people who served with Bush in the National Guard what they thought of him, but apparently they couldn't find any.
------------------------------
MEMPHIS – Two members of the Air National Guard unit that President George W. Bush allegedly served with as a young Guard flyer in 1972 had been told to expect him and were on the lookout for him. He never showed, however; of that both Bob Mintz and Paul Bishop are certain.
Recalls Memphian Mintz, now 62: “I remember that I heard someone was coming to drill with us from Texas. And it was implied that it was somebody with political influence. I was a young bachelor then. I was looking for somebody to prowl around with.” But, says Mintz, that “somebody” -- better known to the world now as the president of the United States -- never showed up at Dannelly in 1972. Nor in 1973, nor at any time that Mintz, a FedEx pilot now and an Eastern Airlines pilot then, when he was a reserve first lieutenant at Dannelly, can remember.
“And I was looking for him,” repeated Mintz, who said that he assumed that Bush “changed his mind and went somewhere else” to do his substitute drill. It was not “somewhere else,” however, but the 187th Air National Guard Tactical squadron at Dannelly to which the young Texas flyer had requested transfer from his regular Texas unit – the reason being Bush’s wish to work in Alabama on the ultimately unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign of family friend Winton "Red" Blount.

How to avoid political repercussions from serving your country - just never show up! Fortunate that our current military doesn't follow that plan.

QuoteThere are people who are angry at Kerry. There are veterans who are angry at him for voting for x,y,z bills.
There are also veterans who served with him who think highly of him. Are their opinions worth less?
I think it's easy to see what validates our opinions. It's a lot harder to join up all the little things that we disagree with into a big enough whole that we change our opinion. It's easy to do with something big, but not as easy with lotsa little things.

I have yet to hear from anyone who served with him that thinks highly of him. Not to say they are not out there.

Quote
The last two anti-Kerry diatribes turned out to be totally bogus (see Snopes).
I reserve judgement until this is authenticated.
Authenticated by whom?

What if anything has all this verbiage have to do with Kerry being a piece of shit?

QuoteWhat if anything has all this verbiage have to do with Kerry being a piece of shit?
Just putting into perspective that the one already in office is also a piece of shit. So, they cancel each other out in that regard.
QuoteQuoteWhere does Bush fit in with this thread, it is about Kerry and how his actions affected lives.
Because the only reason Kerry has any relevance is in relation to him running against Bush.
I'll make a deal with you, I'll post a thread about Bush, and if no one responds with any mention about Kerry or Clinton, I'll delete my response.
It works for me.

I didn't dislike Clinton with the same intensity that Kallend shows towards Bush. I wouldn't call it difficult, just unpleasant.
never pull low......unless you are
I agree.
