The issue is one of the credibility of George Bush. Many conservative voices
told us that John Kerry's service was not legitimate and therefore he was
not to be trusted with our national security and yet they accepted almost
without question the words of someone who chose not to face combat. Bill
Clinton's service or non-service has no relevance to this. Last night George
Bush again told us how he was to be trusted in this goal and the question
remains why we should trust him.

When there was a draft what did these security loving people do?
George got into the NG with daddy's help
Dick became a member of the hippie-movement and prefered love instead of
war and had other priorities.
Jeb Bush ????
Karl Rove ????
Condi Rice ?????
Laura Bush ????
Tom DeLay ????
Donald R. Pilot in Korean-War (not forgetting him)
So, if these people love the security so much, why didn't they fight for
the security back then?
Its so easy to keep the costs for a good education high and then offer
then
poorer a chance for a good eductation by joining the military.
That way you always have enough volunteers for a good education that just
have to join the military to afford it.
I know, Bill Clinton was a draft-dodger. But he's Democrat so that was to
be expected, right?

Are you out of your mind, Michael? Including people like Laura Bush who
is not even holding a position in government, did not get drafted because
she is a woman, and would not have been in combat even if she did join
up because they did not do that with women back then.
Bill Clinton the draft dodger did more than dodge the draft, he went to
foreign countries which were hostile to this one and bad-mouthed his
own country to them.
And peoples reason for not joining up is important, too. I don't have any
respect for people who dodged the draft because then just did not want to
serve their country, but if they did not want to participate in a war we
did not have permission to win, that makes a difference.
