August 14, 2004read itdean esmay sent me this link and I thank him for it. The article sums up something I've FELT for a long time, but I never quite could articulate. I am not a tremendous fan of George Bush. He's done some things as President that I don't like---he's never vetoed a spending bill--- and I believe that heads should have rolled over the intelligence lapses before 9/11. But I like him a lot more than I do John Kerry. I am a Georgia Cracker. I see in Bush a lot of the traits that I see in people I respect right here where I live. I believe that Bush is an honest man who wants what's best for this country. He doesn't have a problem distinguishing good from evil or right from wrong. He is a man of strong convictions and he is comfortable being himself. You may disagree with his policies, but I cannot see HATING that man the way the left does. Bush is the kind of guy I would like to go fishing with. I believe that he would make good company. Kerry, on the other hand, is the kind of guy I wouldn't get into a boat with on a dare. I already KNOW that he's dishonest, and the the few leftover Rangers at the reunion in Tacoma that I talked to hate the man's guts. He did something totally inexcusable to me, and to them. He defiled the reputation of his fellow soldiers in Vietnam for personal aggrandizment. I wouldn't trust that French-looking bastard any farther than I could throw him AND his goddam swift boat. Kerry operates with a finger in the wind. He HAS no convictions. Like Bill Clinton, he could stick a dog turd in his mouth and grin while he ate it as long as the cameras were rolling, catching that smile. George Bush would say, "That's a dog turd. I ain't gonna eat THAT!" and he wouldn't. That's the difference I see between those two men. I wish that Bush were a better public speaker. He's not the most eloquent President we're ever had. But grand speechifying isn't the sole quality I look for in a strong, effective leader. Bush has a set of balls and he has some really good people to advise him. I TRUST him. I'll NEVER trust John Kerry. I believe that one of the reasons the left hates George Bush so much is the fact that he represents blunt Americanism, a Tall Dog attitude instead of self-flaggellating guilt over being the best country in the world. The left can't STAND that kind of behavior. How can he have the NERVE to act that way? It might piss off the French and the Germans, as if we need those corrupt bastards on our side. Plus, I like his wife and I wish that I could have met his two hottie daughters in my younger days. Comments
Ah, yes, a Tall Dog who ran from his duty when thousands of other young men died. He is a lot like you, I guess. No wonder you trust him. Posted by: ? on August 14, 2004 10:37 AMThe fact that Kerry gave false testimony to the Senate upon his return from Vietnam (smearing his comrades as babykillers and war criminals) not to mention his throwing of his medals over the White House fence, totally disqualifies his military service as a justification to elect him commander in chief.... Just look at who wrote the comment, Ruth. That bastard doesn't have the balls to INDENTIFY himself, but he calls others "cowards." What a Nutless Wonder. Posted by: Acidman on August 14, 2004 03:20 PM"ran from his duty" by flying one of the most dangerous airplanes in the modern age? Hey ?, if Kerry is such a war-hero, why isn't he releasing his service records like Bush did? Posted by: rightisright on August 14, 2004 05:06 PMHa! Another cow who believes that people joined the NG, during Vietnam, out of patriotism. I hate to ruin your niavette Ruth, but they were avoiding Vietnam. They were draft-dodging. They were cowards. And many of them still are, we just call them politicians now. It is you who does a disservice to the brave men and women in TODAYS NG and AR, by comparing thier sacrifice to Bush's draft-dodging. Posted by: ? on August 14, 2004 06:12 PMI dont think I was making any comparisons (you are) And I thought military service didnt matter in a presidential race? Bill Clinton (a bona fide DRAFT DODGER) won two terms, over TWO genuine WW2 HEROES. So, whats it gonna be, does it (military service) matter or not? Ya cant have it both ways. Great article.........Just read an article on the aircraft ol W was trained on. It was a real bastard of a ship and was never sent to Vietnam because it was considered totally unsuitable for use there. If the mission needs had been changed or the N.G. unit issued new craft,they might have been sent over. So he wasn't avoiding duty,he just won the luck of the draw . Posted by: big al on August 14, 2004 07:40 PMBIG AL, you are wrong about the F-102's not being in Vietnam. See this site .http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/history/q0185.shtml It explains ALOT and shows you how much BALLS and how "dumb" President Bush was/is to be able to fly her. 4 More Years!! Posted by: matterson on August 14, 2004 08:04 PMClinton was a draft-dodger too. Don't make assumptions as it will only make an ass out of you adn "umption". It's obvious that I have no knowledge of your physical attributes. Cow= cattle Posted by: ? on August 14, 2004 08:08 PMSecondly, you did make the comparison. The Guard of the past was a sloppy, undisciplined [lace to hide form real service. The NG and AR of today have and continue to make great sacrifices, especially when they were only supposed to be "weekend warriors." "What an insult to the thousand and thousands of Guard members, past and present who have served and are serving now. " Those were your words. You do a great disservice by lumping Bush's "service" with those who are serving now. Posted by: ? on August 14, 2004 08:12 PMLast point, how do you reconcile your support for Bush after the scumbag smearjob that was done to McCain. He IS a GENUINE war hero. Posted by: ? on August 14, 2004 08:16 PMIf McCain's daddy hadn't been an admiral, the incompetent SOB would have been court-mashalled. He was a REVERSE ACE. HE crashed five airplanes because of pilot error. Posted by: Acidman on August 14, 2004 08:48 PMSpeaking of scumbag smearjobs, how about when John McCain began a series of ads in Michigan (in the last campaign) called "Catholic Voter Alerts", trying to capitalize on people's fears, suggesting that then Gov. Bush was anti-Catholic? That qualifies as scummy in my book. And if Bush's Daddy hadn't been... That's a silly game to play. Maybe if Bush's daddy had used that steel in his belly to raise his kids, he'd have instilled some real values and courage in them. Posted by: ? on August 14, 2004 09:53 PMYeah and maybe if your Daddy had used some to raise you, you'd at least be man enough to sign your name, eh old boy? Posted by: Ruth on August 14, 2004 10:17 PMI'm sorry, but until I see some sort of identification, some way to contact a person, or some verification of who a commenter is, then their opinion doesn't mean jack shit. If you're too much of a cowardly fucking shitbrick to sign your damn name or leave a point of contact, then you're too fucking worthless for me to take your words at face value. Matterson: From what I gather, there were several variaties of the F-102, each had a different purpose. When Bush volunteered to go to Viet Nam, he was turned down because A) they didn't need his type of plane (Bomber intercept) and B) he didn't have enough flight hours to qualify. You know how I know that? Because Bush has released his military records. Too bad Fuckface Kerry hasn't done that. It would clear up quite a few questions. Posted by: Raging Dave on August 15, 2004 12:08 AMRAGING DAVE, that is exactly what the web site says. I hope you took the time to read it. I'm not mocking the President. I voted for him as governor, for president and I'm voting to re-elect him. ( that's ELECT, not Select for all you sore losers out there ) Posted by: matterson on August 15, 2004 12:43 AMI didn't think you were mocking him at all, I was just nit-picking a bit. It's one of my bad habits. Posted by: Raging Dave on August 15, 2004 09:16 AMBush didn't volunteer. He specifically declined. Thanks for the laugh, though. Posted by: ? on August 15, 2004 09:28 AMI'd like to ravage Masterson's dirty asshole. Posted by: Raging Dave on August 15, 2004 10:55 AMPost a comment
