The Content of his Character

The Content of his Character
Ruth Rosen

It took loudmouthed filmmaker and author Michael Moore to force the
issue by calling Bush a military deserter. That outlandish and crude
accusation, however, did remind many people that Bush is a man who neither
fought in nor against the Vietnam War, as so many men of his generation did.

The truth is, Bush essentially skipped Vietnam. Unlike Bill Clinton, he
did not protest a war he judged to be morally wrong. Unlike Sen. John Kerry,
he did not fight in the war and then protest its bankrupt policy when he
returned.

Instead, Bush's father used his influence to get junior moved to the top
of a long waiting list at the Texas Air National Guard two weeks before his
son graduated from Yale in 1968. As the Washington Post has reported, Bush
was accepted for pilot training, even though he received the lowest
acceptable grade on the aptitude test.

This absolutely cracks me up!!!

Bill Clinton is now a hero for being a draft dodger. Way to go Joe!
You get the award for Double-Think. It's classic 1984.

Bush is an alcoholic coward who lost a fight to a bag of
pretzles and did this: http://mindprod.com/iraq.html
