Bush's lies about service piling up. Here's a tally.

1. "I continued flying with my unit for several years" (from his autobiography)

2. "I showed up" AWOL can't supply evidence he did not desert. USA Today publishes article of unanswered questions

3. "I was in the Air Force" Just uncovered:

4. The brewing scandal regarding medals AWOL wore in photographs

2. He's a LIAR!
And the more his mouthpieces talk, the more we're all going to know it.

4. "Brewing Scandal"???
I doubt this, just like everything else you mentioned, will ever be covered by the media. Bush will always get away with it. That is why he is "President".

5. Won't make any difference
The people who intend to vote for him will do so, no matter what turns up about him. They regard him as a 'Christian' and a 'sincere, kind' man. Their delusion is total. They will not be redeemed from it.

I don't know who the so-called 'undecided' voters are, but I would not depend on them for anything. The fact that they are undecided at this point does not speak well for them.

This election will be won on the basis of which party turns out the most voters. Nobody is going to be converted at this point.

7. How about these 2:
words to the effect of: "I've been in war and I've raised twins. Raising twins is harder."

And,words to the effect of:
"The lesson I learned in Viet Nam was . . ." (can't remember the lesson he learned.

Anyone have cites to these so I can make sure I have them right?

8. AWOL!!!
I know this appeared in a tiny Memphis newpaper back in Feb. '04. I caught the link on Michael Moore.com. When I looked for it again just a couple days later I could not find it and had to use my history to go back and read it again. Feb. '04 was a different time. The time is now. Email this story to all media outlets. I can find no contact info for USA Today staff, especially Dave Moniz. Someone bring this to his attention.

From the Memphis Flyer:

http://www.memphisflyer.com/content.asp?ID=2837&onthefl...

“THERE’S NO WAY WE WOULDN’T HAVE NOTICED a strange rooster in the henhouse, especially since we were looking for him,” insists Mintz

“I talked to one of my buddies the other day and asked if he could remember Bush at drill at any time, and he said, ‘Naw, ol’ George wasn’t there. And he wasn’t at the Pit, either.’”

The “Pit” was The Snake Pit, a nearby bistro where the squadron’s pilots would gather for frequent after-hours revelry. And the buddy was Bishop, then a lieutenant at Dannelly and now a pilot for Kalitta, a charter airline that in recent months has been flying war materiel into the Iraq Theater of Operations

“I never saw hide nor hair of Mr. Bush,” confirms Bishop. . "In fact," he quips, mindful of the current political frame of reference, "I saw more of Al Sharpton at the base than I did of George W. Bush."



"They hate us because we don't know why they hate us."
- Bill Maher
