When I can compare the military records of a known/self-confessed traitor and war criminal against those of a man who spent more active duty time than that do-nothing Senator...then I can decide for myself who did what.

Until that time...kerry and all his goons, enablers and kool-aid drinking followers can just KMA!

So lets see....

Treasonous Vietnam vet denouncing his brothers while they are dying in Vietnam with the name of John Kerry, with the platform of "30 yrs passed 'War Hero', reporting for duty"

Vs.

National Guard pilot who trained and flew in one of the most dangerous planes during the period. Some (democrats) question his attendance, running on his 4 yrs of previous Presidential experience.


Yep...I can see how Bush is far more unfit than Kerry *rolling eyes*

So, does this story still have "legs" or will it die back down by tomorrow? That is the big question.

If the press keeps hounding this, it is likely to break our momentum and put us on defense.

Scott McClellan is a joke. He's sitting there playing defense when he should be strongly denouncing this as the BS it is. Should be saying that the President isn't running on his Guard record like Kerry is running on his Vietnam service. Also should ask the liberal media why aren't they asking Kerry to open his military records. Bring back Ari Fleischer and retire this clown.

Unfortunately, the press is all over this- all channels today and more coming tonight. This is the time for all Republicans to demand Kerry's full release of records and tax returns.

Anytime the scumbags want to compare missing a National Guard physical exam with running away under fire and getting scratched three times in order to bail out so you can come home from Vietnam and trash the "buddies" you left behind, that's fine with me.

Everyone should be looking at a record based on 4 years of the Presidency versus a record of 4 months in Vietnam. Which one is more relevant for the election?

Do you think it is possible that Mr. Kerry is attempting a "rope-a-dope" strategy? I doubt it but it is possible. If there is nothing damaging in his files he could delay the release and then drop it all at once to prove his "fitness". Since his campaign is highly unorganized I don't believe this is the case. But on the other hand I would hate to see us walk into a trap.

If I am not mistaken, we are within that "60 Day period" that the idiot politicians voted for, that being the case, I would think If Kerry was going to drop a Bombshell it would have happened by now. Notice how all of a sudden the News outlets are running a lot blatant "Bush is Bad, Kerry is good" garbage?

Has anyone seen the AP story by Pete Yost on http://cnn.aimtoday: "Memos Show Bush Suspended From Flying".

"Newly unearthed memos state George W. Bush was suspended from flying for the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war because he failed to meet Guard standards and failed to take his annual flight physical as required."

snip

Democratic Party chairman Terry McAuliffe said, ``George W. Bush's cover story on his National Guard service is rapidly unraveling. ... George W. Bush needs to answer why he regularly mislead the American people about his time in the Guard and who applied political pressure on his behalf to have his performance reviews 'sugarcoated'''

Don't they know they are digging their own grave even deeper?

What about John Kerry "ever unraveling" story about HIS service that HE made the centerpiece via the Demoncratic Convention. The Kerry "search for truth" will not go away.....

I don't think so. I think that President Bush will not reply unless asked directly and he'll reply with the truth and do it confidently and there will be no story there. This may just be the chance for him to point out that he is the one who requested the files be put out there because he really has nothing to hide.

The democrats have brought up Bush's service record in every campaign he's ever run. It had no legs then, it has no legs now.

Furthermore, isn't it funny how liberals blame Kerry and/or his campaign management for "allowing" the Swift Boat story to do damage?

The Swift Boat Vets' story does have legs (meaning there's some truth to it), and those legs are kicking Kerry's sorry ass.

i don't think the bush admin wants to be the people asking kerry to sign the form 180....
so some 527 group needs to do a commercial simply pointing out that bush has signed the standard form 180 and kerry has not....so who is hiding their military records?

i was actually expecting 'someone' to download the form 180 and sign it and send it in for kerry.

"The Associated Press obtained most recent documents after filing a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, but has expressed no interest in taking similar action to gain access to Kerry's records."



OK! That does it! I'll be making another donation to the SwiftVets for EACH new Bush Smear!
