You wouldn't give a shit if you found out Bush ate babies, you would start whining about Clinton eating his wife out on the rag or some other bullshit.

Clinton ADMITTED dodging the draft, Bush lied about going AWOL after joining a unit that was used in Texas to protect VIPs from danger. The fucking Dallas Cowboys had people in that unit.

But But But But But I am a Republican...I didn't fucking like Clinton when he was in office, but I would rather have Ford, hell I would take Nixon or even Hoover over Bush. You can whine and snivel all you want about Clinton but he will go down as one of our better presidents and Bush will never be equaled as America's worst.

Lucky,

I am not allowed to tell you what I think of you but suffice it to say, if I stapled the truth on your forehead but used words longer than a few letters long, I still don't think you could figure it out. Perhaps if I could get someone to draw pictures for you...

Y'know, I might even possibly think about giving a shit about Bush not fulfilling his complete service obligation, if these same standards had been applied to President Clinton's draft-dodging.

Rather amusing direction the thread is taking, given that we are talking about a man who destroyed his credibility and career doing that exact thing...

In other words,you think going AWOL is a plus,and a sign of character. Going AWOL is good,and what all service personal should do.Ya,know,follow the example of our leaders.Got it.

Neo-cons have an un-healthy obsession with Bill Clinton,coupled with jealously and all that crow they had to eat,when the impeachment failed.

Always entertaining.

           Hello! Simply! Yoo-Hoo! That's a damn fine strawman you've built, but I'm over here.

      I liked old Wild Bill. Voted for him twice. I didn't like the constant attacks on him any better than I like those against our current President. I merely offer comparisons and examples, not judgement. I would very much like to see the Democrat Party resume their old ways of pissing me off less often than the Republicans do. The double standard ain't helping.

      Never say never. We could do worse this coming term.

Micheal you say the documents exist. Bluster all you like, like anyone cares over the web. Produce the documents that you claim exist, or hurl insults. Your choice. Bush was not AWOL.

There is that group (which Rich isn't part of) that does indeed have an unhealthy obsession with Clinton..... as does the one with the obsession with Bush......

Irrelevant.

Bush *IS* a COWARDLY PIECE OF SHIT.

Whether you think he's a coward for avoiding combat in vietnam, while professing the war was "Worth It".

Whether you think he's a coward for having his DADDY get his a "Safe" position in TANG.

Whether you think he's a WASHOUT for getting grounded,

or

Whether you think he's a CRIMINAL for moving out of texas to NOLA, ditching duty, and THEN asking for permission to move...

It's clear that Bush lacks HONOR AND INTEGRITY.

Whether he was AWOL or Deserted or whatever, he has shown character traits which, to many, disqualifies him for ANY respectable office.

A mistake by the press warrants an apology and a retraction. If Rather's contention proves to be true it says a lot about the government intimidating the media regarding of if Rather is an asshole or not. I'm very interested in seeing how this plays out.

And the guys at CBS ( Westinghouse ) colluding with the government in retaliation for Rather's breaking of the Abu Ghraib story.

That story pissed off a LOT of people, because it shows how false the "We treat the Iraqi people better than Hussein -- Now they can enjoy Freedom and Liberty" in primetime.
