"nothing in kerry's past has ever pointed to him being dishonest about his military career. the bush campaign is looking for any dirt they can find instead of promoting their own ideas. perhaps they don't have any."
-Rick, see my thread "Kerry's UCMJ charges

"there is so much evidence that bush was nowhere to be found you can at least doubt his honesty or at least look into it more and see what you can find out for yourself.. perhaps it's all rumors, perhaps it's not. there doesn't seem to be any evidence to support hi being where he was supossed to be and there is no one that has come forward and said he was seen on the base. on the contrary many military personal have said they never saw him."
-Read Hogs reply to you on the other post, with a response from one of Bush's collegues in the ANG. He mentions how sloppy recordkeeping was. at least he doesn't have paperwork saying he was in three places at the same time! Kerry has three different citations for the same medal, that's not acording to Hoyle!

Last thought, when Bush went to Alabama, he was most likely put in charge of a desk. When you were in the military, how much time did YOU spend in the office if you didn't have to? If you didn't go to the office, you didn't see the FNG (the military guys know what this means) that was doing his weekend filling out paperwork. So give it a rest,a nd get off the Democratic party line that has all to do with thirty year old non-issues. What's Kerrys Senate voting record like Rick? What major legislation did Kerry get passed Rick? What appropriations has Kerry approved or voted for to help keep our military well equiped and ready to defend our freedom, and respond to any attacks? How ready, and able was our intelligence apparatus after the first 16 years he spent in the Senate, much of which was spent as a member of the Senate intelligence oversight committee? Huh Rick? Can you tell me THESE things?If you can't, stop being a mindless mouthpiece for the DNC! Think like a Democrat, Zell Miller!

Rick ignores the abscence of the esteemed Senator from 77% of intelligence commmittee meetings over past years and doesn't mind that he missed some important votes during the last year, one to extend the unemployment benefits (failed by one vote-HIS) for the folks that he cares so much about! He is inept, stupid and careless, but I guess in Ricks mind that is better than our President that he dishonors daily!

--why have you zealots concluded that the investigation into kerry's war records will turn up something negative?--

Wow, there is the pot calling the kettle black. I usually ignore Rick's post because he is such a slavering pinko hippie, but this was ironically funny.

Threadjack off - go back to discussing wether the liar or the simple boy will get elected, like it matters..

It matters a great deal and you should be ashamed to take such a position! I am not a zealot, I served in Vietnam (no hero) and I am not anxios to turn my country over to someone like John Kerry! He flips and flops from day to day at least Bush stays the course!

because of my respect for you, i have printed the letter from the retired major and will read it when i am fresh and awake. of course i do have this, my mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts, mind set, but we will see what we will see.

hello. i don't think we have debated or chated before.

let me see, you start with "slavering pinko hippie."
i think you meant to say a "slathering" pinko hippie, but i'm not sure.

i'm not sure what a slatherer does to make him one, so maybe i do and i am. i know that toby tells me that sometimes i slober, but i don't think that is the same.

if by pinko you mean communist leaning, not true. in case you haven't read all of my posts, i am a RACHMONES CONSERVATIVE.

i also never joined the hippie party, missing out of course on all those deluded chicks that were convinced
that sex should be given to anyone with a beard and a hash pipe. i did loan one of my friends brother, who was a hippie, a very nice convertable plymouth for his use to drive to frisco. he returned it looking like a piece of crap and after he left, all the parking tickets hit me. i did wear a dashike once. does that count?

now it's your turn. tell me about yourself starting with are you a zealot? adlib the rest.

Glad to see you back in old form. Give 'em hell. BTW, you smoke any good cigars lately?

penzt8

yes and thanks for asking.i have two left of a box of three bohemians that i found in a cigar store in chinatown in vegas. they are all 7 1/2 X 56, a least the two that are left. the one i smoked is about the size of half a cup of ashes. they come with a neck strap, much like a saxephone player uses. i don,t know the sub species of bohemians they are, but the two that are left are a black and a brown.

i also bought all the rollys that were left in town for 51 cents each in bundles of 25. they are 6 X 54 and rather loosly packed. if you light them really well, you will be done with the cigar before the match goes out.

as my more descriptive botl indicate, the start and finish are close together and there is a taste of burning lips as the smoke reaches your mouth after the ash has consumed your mustache.

i enjoyed several cubanidads, and a few monte #5's.

remember, cigars, they are not just for breakfast any more.

i just finished reading the results of cartman's anal probe. no lesions were found.

i have several photographs of my colonoscopy taken with a camera atached to the probe. i never even had a chance to smile or say cheeze and modesty prevent me from posting them.
