        "I think him [John Kerry] going to Vietnam was more heroic than my
         flying fighter jets. He was in harm's way and I wasn't."

12/5    Romney is right after all -- our military does need more horses and
        bayonets!  http://www.csua.org/u/y3j  Romney for 2012!
        \_ I'd never considered Romney's campaign as an ad for Revolution,
           but I guess that makes as much sense anything else.
        \_ The tax cut removal is ill timed.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        "Arabs, who would seem to have an even stronger race claim than
        Hispanics do, are trumpeting their own write-in campaign because the
        Census by default counts them as white ... Ironically, part of the
        problem is that Arab immigrants a century ago petitioned the Federal
        Government to be categorized as white to avoid discrimination."

        they keep their tax-exempt status?
        \_ Because LDS is a religion and gayness isn't?
        \_ Because they didn't endorse a candidate from the pulpit.

Printable version Bush says Kerry was 'more heroic' John Kerry with Swift Boat crew members Recent TV ads alleged John Kerry lied about his Vietnam service US President George W Bush has said his rival in the presidential race, John Kerry, was the "more heroic" for having put himself "in harm's way" in Vietnam. President Bush passed his military service as a fighter pilot in Texas. Asked by US TV network NBC if he felt Mr Kerry and he "served on the same level of heroism", Mr Bush replied, "No, I don't." Mr Kerry has accused President Bush of backing an ad campaign that accused him of lying about his valour in Vietnam. Q&A: Kerry's Vietnam service A lawyer for the president's re-election team, Benjamin Ginsberg, resigned on Wednesday after admitting he advised the group of Vietnam veterans responsible for the ads. President Bush has denied any links to the campaign and called for an end to unofficial negative advertising. However, he has refused to specifically criticise the ads, which allege Mr Kerry did not deserve the medals he received for bravery in the Vietnam conflict. Senator Kerry has made his service in Vietnam a cornerstone of an election campaign dominated by concerns over national security, traditionally seen as a Republican strength. going to Vietnam was more heroic than my flying fighter jets. He defended his own stint in the Texas Air National Guard, saying, "On the other hand, I served my country. Unofficial ads produced by a liberal group, funded by Democrat supporters, have alleged President Bush used family influence to avoid serving during the Vietnam war. President Bush told the NBC network it was time to end the furore over the two candidates' Vietnam-era military records. The real question is who best to lead us forward," he said.
