Rodchester Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Reagan? My memory, which could be incorrect, was that he did not serve and I'm fairly certain that he did not serve in combat. Also, keep in mind, there is a huge difference between JFK and Bush Sr.'s experiences as young Lt.s and the experinece of Clark or Eisenhower, or Grant, or Washington. Not saying the little guys don't count, but there is a big difference. Quote
jon Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 True, but they served during a long war. Anyways I'm tired of arguing about this. Please vote, I don't care who you vote for, just make sure you've educated yourself on the issue and do it. Quote
murraysovereign Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 I thought Reagan's "service" consisted of making recruitment ads and training films. I don't think he ever saw anything like active duty. Quote

Dru Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Recent poll indicates only 15% of Canadians would vote for Bush if they could Quote
murraysovereign Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I just checked - it works out to 11.25% US at straight exchange, before commissions and fees and such. But you guys keep forgetting about the Countervailing Duties. So add about 37% to keep the Commerce Department happy, and by the time we get across the border we've become 48.25%. Ain't "Free Trade" grand? Quote

HRoark Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 I thought Reagan's "service" consisted of making recruitment ads and training films. I don't think he ever saw anything like active duty. This is true; his eyesight kept him from active combat duty. Quote

So, you're saying that Bush can't be a good family role model (since when was that part of the job description) because his daughters are typical teenagers/college students? Sounds weak to me. Our economy was the best ever under Clinton? Compared to what? Compared to the '80's, the "Decade of Greed"? A surplus of money? That's a shell game, dude. Roark Quote
Rodchester Posted February 4, 2004 Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) About the Bush girls....most say that my parents did a great job with thier seven kids....and yet we got into WAY more trouble than the Bush girls. Come on, so what if they got busted for drinking some beer while underaged... ...Jesus Christ. If that's the only trouble they've been in that's nothing. Are you one of those right wing christain southern baptist types that think the wine Jesus made was actually grape juice? Al Gore's son just got sentenced for drug problems...does that mean he is a bad parent? I think you should look more at how they handle the problems (the parents) than the actual problems.
