![]() I think being an American means standing up for what's right, regardless of who that puts in the wrong. Kerry did what he thought was right, and I personally think that what he did took alot more courage then simply ignoring the atrocities. Rich Did he? Did he stand up for what was right when he was in Viet Nam or did he participate in the events only to come home and then claim remorse for having done so? From his testimony, that is the apparant conclusion that could be drawn. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

![]() It just gets more and more interesting but is still not relevant to the election. Bob Reed +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nonsense. You parrot others of your 'ilk'. g For you this may well be true. For others, it's a data point on a larger picture. Barnyard BOb - never had too much info And I don't think either one has any reason to be overly proud of their record in that regard. Based on Kerry's testimony, he had reason to be ashamed of his actions in Viet Nam. Bob Reed +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ One of them is going to be President all the same. Therefore, your observation is.... "not relevant". g Barnyard BOb - |

![]() Some guy with Hickeys claims...Think about it... early 1970's, and the boneheads at NBC expect us to think that a typewriter produced documents that had: 1) Times New Roman font (not yet developed) But, "Times New Roman was created by the esteemed British typographer Stanley Morison for the Times of London in 1932." http://www.slate.com/Default.aspx?id=2095809& ... but not used on any typewriters (ever) apparently, certainly not one that would be used by someone in the ANG in 1972. I'm amazed that CBS is continuing to try to prop up these obvious forgeries - I never had any faith at all in Dan Rather, but I didn't think he was as dumb as he apparently really is. It only shows the desperation of CBS's conviction that the truth is a far, far less important issue than their political agenda. Mark Hickey Why amazed, this is not the first time CBS and in particular, the 60 minutes program, have been found to fabricate evidence or accept and defend evidence knowing the were probably wrong. Hell, look at the ratings and attention they have gotten as a result. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

... Excuse me but that is the purpose of the primaries. For the members of each party to select their candidates for the general election. You are allowed to chose your party and then you are allowed to chose your candidates. That is NOT voting a straight-party ticket. Voting a straight-party ticket is done in the general election when a voter picks the candidates for all offices based on party. Bob............. For the past 70 years the purpose of the primaries in Washington State has been to select the top two candidates for an office without regard to party affiliation. The winner is then selected in the general election. Many, many voters here are ****ed off about this new federally-mandated system. Both systems are open to manipulation; however, in real life, this sort of thing has not been a factor in Washington. The new rules are another solution to a non-existent problem. Regards, Rich S. |

Sorry but in this case, I believe the federally-mandated system is correct. One man, one vote. That is the basis of our system and while each system can be abused, the system in Washington State seems much more prone to abuse than the party candidate system.

That is the basis of our system and while each system can be abused, the system in Washington State seems much more prone to abuse than the party candidate system. The Washington legislature passed a bill which would allow the "Top Two" system instead of the party candidate slate, but the Governor vetoed it. The citizens of this state will be allowed to override his veto by passing Initiative 872 which calls for the Top Two system. "Ballot Title Initiative Measure No. 872 concerns elections for partisan offices. This measure would allow voters to select among all candidates in a primary. Ballots would indicate candidates party preference. The two candidates receiving most votes advance to the general election, regardless of party." http://www.blanketprimary.org/ I believe it will sail through. We "Left Coasters" do not like to be manipulated by the cronyism of party bosses. We'll leave that sort of thing to New Jersey and Massachusetts, to name a couple of machine states. Rich S. |

There are so many problems with these documents that I can't even begin to list them. But my favorite is the inconvienent fact that Brigadier General "Buck" Staudt retired 18 months before the memo says he's putting pressure on Killian to "sugar coat" Bush's fitness reports. Now CBS is saying that it's possible the General still exerted influence over the Guard AFTER retirement. That's about as dumb as their claim that the obvious proportional spacing is due to the copying and faxing of the document (and that that makes it impossible to tell what the font really is). How DUMB does CBS count on its viewers being, anyway? I knew they hoped we were dumb, but I guess they hope we're deaf, dumb and blind. I hope y'all remember this when you are flipping channels trying to get a handle on what's really going on in the world... Mark Hickey |

I still say the NRA should have deferred building their new multi-jillion dollar headquarters building and bought CBS when it was for sale. Wouldn't that be something? I can see the program listings now. . . Rich "The Ted Nugent Comedy Hour" S. |
