>>. McCain is also a war hero.

Bob Dole was a war hero. McCain was a war prisoner. Some former POW's say that he received special treatment because his father was an Admiral.

>>Aren't there stories now that top Texas politicos pulled strings to keep Junior Bush home during Vietnam? Isn't willful evasion of the Selective Service Laws a crime?

Stories, and no evidence. Clinton was a blatant dodger and AlGore a more skillful one.

>>Gore at least can begin sentences with "When I served in Vietnam.."

AlGore apparently flunked out of law school and his Senator father got him a cushy job as a reporter, for Star and Stripes I believe. That dodge is not what people usually think of as "serving in Vietnam". I would like the truth out on how AlGore got that plumb assignment while the sons of other tobacco pushers had to serve in combat. It certainly couldn't have been ability.

>>Hypocrite? I don't see Bush issuing clemency to convicted drug users in Texas because they were "youthful" at the time of the offense. In fact, he stiffened penalties, making sure that those who acted in the same way he did when young will never have the same opportunities he now enjoys.

We know, you're too thick to understand that times and laws change. What McCain did with his dirty dealings with Keating cannot be glossed over and righted by enacting new laws against future McCains.

>>He also never comes across as intelligent. But I guess that's subjective, eh?

Aren't you confusing yourself and Bush?
