[QUOTE=Unregistered]Don’t forget the level of “outrage” among Republicans if a Democratic group attacked a decorated veteran who had an “R” behind his name instead of a “D”. Rush would devote every show for the next year to the topic.
I agree. That’s also why the Dems bashing Bush for old stuff, like his National Guard duty, bothers me. It’s old, it’s irrelevant. He’s had 4 years as Pres to show whether he can show up for work or not. If showing up is an issue, okay then, use the White House and Crawford TX logs. If the Repubs think Kerry should have gone to more meetings, then I’m happy to hear the lists and worry myself about it. But 1968!!
I heard somebody on a Sun. morning interview show yelling about getting all of Kerry’s med records. Apparently they JUST had 36 pages. I can tell you what I’d want to happen with my med records from Vietnam ... burn ‘em. Either that or have to explain to my wife that I’m damn sure that penicillin from 1967 was effective, and it must have been something I got from a toilet seat anyway.
The interesting thing about the sex scandal Catholic guy, Hudson Deal, is that he was the one, as publisher of Crisis Magazine, pushing the bishops to deny communion to politicians who differ from the Vatican, and was a chief strategist of Bush’s campaign to get Catholic votes. So it’s not that he was holding himself out to be a saint, he was urging the Church to publicly punish and basically deny salvation (like it’s up the Them!) to politicians with sinful policies. I imagine he was happy to see the little wheat-allergic girl’s first communion REVOKED for using a rice wafer. Jesus. Then they find out he had a sealed settlement from a lawsuit against him by a depressed then-18-year-old he had used for sex a decade ago. And funny, that kind of sin is technically easier to forgive than using a rice wafer.
