at a time when the wait line was very long to get into the national guard, dubya somehow finagled his way into the regiment, while kerry voluteered to go fight. there is no comparison.

apples to oranges. different ballparks.

true. but when you go out of your way to avoid combat (as bush did for vietnam) there is no valor in that. where was his resolve to protect us then? oh yeah, he was snorting it up his nostrils!!
Originally posted by Renee: The difference between Kerry and the rest of the people who have served is they don't shove it down everyone's throats like Kerry does.
hold on here. it's the bush swift boat buddies who've made a huge issue out of kerry's service. they are the ones trying to discredit it. it's not reasonable to expect him to not counter the LIES they're spreading about him since bush refuses to break from their ranks. he just blames it on the '527s' that's the lamest cop out i've ever seen...nope scratch that. bush's surprise enlistment into the national guard ahead of the people who signed up before him is actually the lamest cop out i've ever seen.
Originally posted by Renee: Oh, and for those who don't think Kerry has lied.... what about the tossing of the medals thing?
where was the lie? that's semantics. if want to take that to the table then bush 'lied' about WMDs just as kerry 'lied' about medals. btw how many medals did bush EARN in the national guard? did he even show up for all of his duty?
Originally posted by Renee:What about all the flip flops?
since when is changing your mind lying? i guess all women are liars then.
knowing when you're wrong and having the guts to revist the situation and change your position is the mark of a strong individual. only hard headed idiots will stay the course of a bad decision even when clearly presented with their errors.
Originally posted by Renee: What about his NOT supporting the military?
more republican bs rhetoric. what about bush CUTTING THE PAY FOR OUR TROOPS!! i guess that's the type of support you and your husband can appreciate.
plus where do you get all this bs that kerry doesn't support the military? because he voted down a halfassed attempt to do something for the military so a better proposal could be made?
