Kerry hasn't flown a plane except for TV. He rides in his wife's Ketchup
jet. He has no clue what it's like to do battle in the airport terminals, for hours of delays. He will steal your life savings after you die, before your children get it. He will add more tax to your already overtaxed income. He will allow trial attorneys to ruin aviation and health insurance. He used the F**k word on national TV, on purpose to appeal to young voters. He does not behave in a presidential manor. (see above) W may have flaws and a history, but he learned from that and changed (aka grew up). He did serve too, and flew f4's. W is an excellent administrator. He realizes he doesn't have to know it all, but he surrounds himself with VERY wise advisors. This is what good leaders do. No one can know it all. W has handled well, the worst and biggest challenge to America to date (except maybe Abe's civil war) W has turned the Clinton economy disaster around. The republican philosophy: self determination, individual freedom, lowers taxes, less government, strong military is the only way this nation can survive on a long term basis.

"Roger Long" om writes: Not only that, he used his father's connections to become President and avoid having to get a real job after being Governor of Texas. Exactly. Without the connections Bush II would be a boozer mid-level manager in some rinky-dink company in middle Texas. Just another wild cat closer out of Midland. Then again, where would Kerry be without catsup? He'd still be a Forbes. On Kerrey's $2 million, not likely. But Mrs. Heinz has $500,000,000 and that lets Kerrey mortgage their house for $6.5 million and win Iowa. |

To go along with the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. And all in a war he was opposed to. I find that somewhat redeeming. Except ther is no silver star. |

![]() "Stuart King" wrote in message . com... W has turned the Clinton economy disaster around. Up to this one I was just going to say, oh well, we just disagree. Even my Republican friends complain that Bush's economic policies are disasterous. The Dem's used to be labeled "tax and spend". The Republicans, under Bush, are the "borrow and spend" party. We can argue about whether Bush has made America safer - personally I don't believe he has. But there is no way to argue that he has an economic plan that is even remotely acceptable to future generations. Michael |

While he did seem to shirk some responsibilities, the record is not quite clear on exactly what happened. However, he *was* a youngun. I might have done a stupid thing or twenty in my younger years, too. It is impossible to be AWOL from the National Guard, as drill attendance was optional. Call it whatever you want. The fact is that, using his father's connections, he got placed in the National Guard to avoid the Vietnam draft and even then did not have the balls to meet his commitment. There were open slots in the ANG in Texas, for anyone elidgeable. When GW's Eligible in that case meant you better be an quarterback or the son of a rich man. Not just anyone got those slots. Everyone knew that then. It's not been forgotten by a lot of people who had loved ones that died serving their country. I won't forget either. F-102 unit changed over to a new airplane, there was no way they were going to pay to retrain a short timer. GW's job would have been to sit at a desk doing nothing. Well at least you acknowledge that he decided he wasn't going to serve his country because he got a boring desk job. Any way you slice it he did not fulfill his responsibilities to his country. That's not someone I respect. R. Hubbell Now that may not mean much to you, but to me it says a whole lot about character. You telling a lie tells me something about your character, but I fail to see how that reflects on anyone else. |
