15. Take note of the article on the page..
Remember when the R's were saying that Hillary made decisions with Bill? This article says it clearly and I haven't heard them bitching about this, wonder what "decision-making" the stepford wife has influenced. Guess she's doing the "Stand By Your Man" thing, or else she's going to be out on her ass and back into her polyesters!

Candidate's Wife Still Plays Key Role

Laura Bush indicated once during the 2000 campaign that she favored "choice" -- as in abortion rights -- but she never again took a public stand on the issue.

First lady Laura Bush is on the road a lot as a surrogate for her husband and has proved to be a boffo fundraiser, bringing $5 million into the campaign coffers.

She is immersed in the campaign, defensive about her husband's war policies and military record and influential in his decision-making.

7. Badly Worded Question...
... because it makes it look as if all men who served in the Guard were shirking their duty.

It might better have been worded, "Do you think Bush shirked his duty as a soldier in the National Guard?"
