What do 19 year old skirts have to do with Bush/McCain? The problem is Bush isn't really well educated, although he may have attended the right schools. What is Bush's main contributions to the US or even Texas for that matter? If Robertson and Falwell support his campaign - then Bush is suspect.

Dear Michael: I am happy to read your responsible post. I scanned a number of the others and am amazed the ignorance on this thread. I thought SI had superior intelligent people posting, guess I was wrong. I do not know G.W.B. personally but let me recant a little story of what happened to me when visiting friends in Austin, Tex. a couple of years ago. One Sunday, they asked my wife and I if we would like to see the Capitol. We said sure. So, first they drove us to the Capitol building in Texas, we parked got out and walked right inside. Toured many of the UNLOCKED offices, that in itself amazed me. Afterwards they asked if we would like to see the Govenor's mansion. We agreed. So we drove over there and parked RIGHT IN FRONT of the steps leading up to the front door of the house. There is an iron grate fence and locked gate, but nothing one couldnt jump over. Another amazement!! But here comes the cincher!! George was having a Bar b cue on the side lawn with what appeared to be his friends and cronies. Probably about 20 people, George was grilling. In a fit of Craziness, I hollered, GEORGE, GET OVER HERE, I VOTED FOR YOUR OLD MAN!! My wife and the people who we were visiting were SHOCKED. BUT, Guess what. He walked right over, shook my hand, thanked me for supporting his Dad and we exchanged a few pleasantries. Now, that is my kind of guy. Nothing fancy, nothing snotty just a regular guy. I spent 4 days in Texas, frequented many places and every Texan I met Rep. or Dem. seemed to love him. JDN
