Kerry is a pilot?

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.

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.

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.)

He shouldn't have been thinking about running for Senator from NY in 2000.

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.

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.

However, that showing is very atypical for the days following a State of The
Union address. I think the Bush message is no longer resonating with the
public. Bush has always been big on talk but small on results.

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?
