>>1.) Since when does ANG service = dodging?
I stated Bush dodged Viet Nam by joining the ANG. Do you dispute that?
There are two block votes in this country and they are roughly equal. You have a group that would vote Republican even if Bush was the anti-Christ with 666 plastered on his forehead (the dittohead/dixiecrat/big bussiness/ crown). You have a group of Democrats that would vote Kerry if he was the same aberition(the Al Sharpton/Jane Fonda/Ted Kennedy/ anything freaky crowd).
Newsflash - you - Republican party voters, Democratic party voters, are NOT deciding this election. You are dead weight - tinsil on a tree.
The people who are deciding this election cross party lines, and actually question what the candidates have done. There is no way that smearing the service record of a Viet Nam vet is going to woo the fence sitters. Yes, the ditto heads are going to eat it up - "Yea you go Rush! You tell the commie bastards! That Kerry was a coward in Viet Nam!" Same way that those who try to paint Bush as a war monger is just going to appeal to the most radical left.
So have your fun, and shoot your fodder at each other. In November, you won't matter. People voting down party lines, stretching facts so they fit into some pinhole view, are sheep. Walk down the left sheep road or walk down the right sheep road. Chance are if you can't see ANYTHING positive in both candidates, you are not the people deciding the election. You are, however, very fluffy.
John McCain called the new Republican commercial smearing Kerry's service record, "disrespectful" and "dishonest."
>>"It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me," McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press.<<
If this idiotic strategy keeps up, 3 years from now a ghost writer will be stating in "George W's memoirs" how attacking Kerry's military record was a blunder that cost the election.
Let the dittoheads keep punching that ticket, and their will be a change - bank on it.
