Drudge Tries to Blow a Hole in the Sail of Democratic Undergrounds Boat
Regarding the Democratic Underground Story Regarding the Misleading Campaign Flyer's Used by George Bush in 1978.

This is how I see it. In the wake of the Vietnam War, George Bush Touted that he served in the Air Force and he states he flew a F-102 Aircraft all in an effort to gain votes for Political Office.

No where in this add, did he state that he was only in Active Duty Status for the first 4 months in 1967 while he trained, then spent the rest of the time in the National Guard. (a fact that if was made known, many would be offended that he would have the nerve to even post).

No where in this add does he state that he left the National Guard without a Pilots License. (a fact that again, if the voters were made aware of, would again question his credibility).

What this add does do, it demonstrates that Bush Misled the Voters. Something he has a knack of doing very well.

He misled back then, he misleads now, and today, as he campaigns asking for the votes for another 4 years, and Praises the Troops and pledges Support for the Troops he fails to mention that right now Former Saddam Military Commanders are advising US Forces how to fight the people of Iraq. (if the voters he asks the votes for on the campaign trail where made aware of this pathetic fact he would be booed and shouted down, rather than be cheered and admired from the false image that Bush has gained from the total lack of media coverage on what is really going on in Iraq). Again, Bush continues to Mislead the People.

Matt Drudge, Sorry, you only bolster the fact that Bush is a Misleading Man by posting the information that you have just made public.

This is how I see the story....

Question: Does 120 Days in Training under a category 'active service', then spending the rest of your military time in the National Guard Warrant one the Privilege Touting that you Served in the Air Force of the United States Piloting a US F - 102 Aircraft, even though you left the National Guard without a Pilots License in the wake of the Vietnam War cross the line and fall into the Category of Misleading?

This is how I posted it.

3. Active Duty for Training (ADT) is the key phrase!

Same as every Reserve/Nat'l Guard gets in their committment. He was no more Air Force than Dan Quayle was Army!

F---ing civilians!!!

4. Spelled "ad". Short for "advertisement".
