6. What biased language!

Why the editorializing about "dirty politics"? Why can't they simply ask if you think the evidence shows that he met his requirements or not?

Or, if you are going to leave the Yes answer as is, then the No answer should read:

"No, there are still big holes in the timeline. If Bush is going to prance around in a flight suit on the deck of the Lincoln, then he'd better not be lying about his service."

7. No kidding!

Plus, I mean this is the military! This isn't a question for a poll, there is actually a correct answer!!

8. Still 54% to 37% that sez big holes exist

What we do know was that he was AWOL and that junior never went to Alabama. And we learned some folks would lie for him.

What we don't know for sure and we must ask senior bush if junior did community service at "The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Houston's Third Ward, or was it Project P.U.L.L.? And why was the community service for getting drunk and running over garbage cans or was it for being arrested for cocaine?

We all know junior had a girl friend named Robin Lowman in the early 70's and they were quiet close........

So what are those 37% smoking, some junior butt weed?

10. Bush went to Alabama without permission, and didn't

Bush went to Alabama without permission, and didn't report for over 6 months. The definition of desertion is not-reporting for over 30 days.

However, pay-records show he eventually served 6 days in Alabama in 1972.
