Imagine again, Jim. A Reuters poll today had Kerry leading Bush 48 to 45 per
cent (the rest undecided) if the election was held tomorrow. November's a long way away, though. "Jim Fisher" wrote in message .. . "Toks Desalu" wrote in message There is no way to recognize what kind of plane, but it is definitely a low wing. Well, there's at least one redeeming quality. However, I think he's probably a highwinger in drag. I just can't imagine him in the Whitehouse at this moment in history any more than I could imagine Algore there. -- Jim Fisher |

I was watching MSNBC recently and learned that John Kerry,
a democrat, is a certified pilot, --snip-- Are any of the other candidates currently or formerly pilots? Clark Dean Edwards Kucinich LaRouche Lieberman Sharpton Others? (John F. Kennedy, Jr., at one time a potential democratic candidate for almost any office, was a pilot, too. He and his wife died in a plane crash off of Cape Cod (MA) in 1999.) -- Sent by xanadoof from yahoo part from com This is a spam protected message. Please answer with reference header.

"Tarver Engineering" wrote in message news Not everyone. Not my a long shot. 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. Now that may not mean much to you, but to me it says a whole lot about character. |

There were open slots in the ANG in Texas, for anyone elidgeable. When GW's 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. 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. |

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. -- Roger Long Pilot Bob wrote in message news:khYQb.117895$sv6.636439@attbi_s52...

"Henry Kisor" wrote in message ....A Reuters poll today had Kerry leading Bush 48 to 45 per cent (the rest undecided) if the election was held tomorrow. November's a long way away, though. This is pretty typical during an "out party" primary. All we've had on the news for the last 4-6 weeks, and for the next 4-6 weeks, is nothing but Democrat ads and speakers. There's a natural response to that showing in the polls. It will melt back to reality as soon as coverage evens out once again. |

I think the Bush message is no longer resonating with the public. Bush has always been big on talk but small on results. |

Then again, where would Kerry be without catsup? |
