Why are the democrats hammering on Bush Military Record

[samplegirl]

Especially the undesireable part attached to his discharge?

1. Is this sarcastic? n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. This is a joke, right? I'll wait for your sarcasm tags. n/t

[ugarte]

3. Because he's a child of privilege

who leapfrogged over people to gain a spot in the safe Air National Guard, and on top of that didn't bother to show up for a good portion of his tour of duty.

It's about the arrogance the entitlement boy has demonstrated his whole life.

11. Could I ask you

what the "+1"s are about? I've seen you post them a number of times. Do they mean something or are you just trying to get your post count up without actually saying anything?

[bossfish]

[NightOwwl]

6. I think you might be lost.

Make a hard right and keep going.

7. because of the pissing contest about who is a stronger military leader

the one who volunteered to go to Vietnam or the one who couldn't even show up sober for duty in Alabama!

13. They are hammering on

his record because shrub is such a nice upstanding citizen and everyone knows he was an exemplary flight boy. Problem is, his flight wasn't in an airplane. No one knows where he flew to.

[samplegirl]

[Jackpine Radical]

14. I hate it that I wasted time even reading this thread

and now I find myself posting on it.
Shit.

[nefarious]

16. George Bush* is a hypocrite

An AWOL failure in defending Alabama in the Air National Guard. Example excuse: "They were making my jet fighter obsolete, so there was no point to get my military physical examination." The average soldier is told that kind of insubordination leads to dishonorable discharges. But not for George*.

Years later as Commander-in-Chief, he unquestionably has the worst military service record with which to lead by example. Yet he is intent on involving America in a series of wars which make members of the military forces serve in the type of hazardous duty which he intentionally avoided. Why did he serve at all? He was a phony.

Most people, if they knew, would seriously resent the real George Bush*, the spoiled trust fund frat prankster baby of a powerful politician who was socially promoted in an atmosphere of deceit and corruption.
