David... you are obviously parallel parked in an alternate universe.. . . . . You need to get your priorities right, my friend... You have no idea what he was, or wasn't going to do.... But everytime he took one of those planes up there and put it past Mach 1, he was putting his life at risk.... Yeah.. so maybe he's not Chuck Yeager or John McCain... but he wore a uniform and stood in a combat fighter slot... If he had been deployed, he would have been in someone's bullseye.... I think George Sr. would have expected it. As for Al.. well I'm sure he doesn't really brag too much about his experience... and neither does Bush... So thus its a moot point.... a wash... nullified... And if you read Gore's book "Earth in the Balance", he tells you right in there that he thinks the world will break down into a civil war between environmentalists and non-environmentalists... And you want this guy to be Commander in Thief... err... opps...chief... (we already have a CinT) GEEZUS!!!! cartoonwavs.com

Liberal Minnesota Newspaper Endorses Bush By Jim Burns CNS Senior Staff Writer October 16, 2000 (CNSNews.com) - A Minnesota newspaper that twice endorsed the Clinton-Gore ticket is throwing its support to Republican George W. Bush in the upcoming presidential election. The St. Paul Pioneer Press, in its Sunday editions, said Bush has made a "convincing case" for bringing fresh, beyond-the-beltway pragmatism to the challenges facing American government. Recent polls show Minnesota, with its ten electoral votes, is leaning toward Gore. "In many ways," the editorial said, "Bush has done for the Republican Party what Bill Clinton did for Democrats eight years ago. He has led his party smartly toward the political center on key issues." The editorial applauded Bush's "traditional, conservative respect" for free markets and limited government, and it said Bush has led the GOP on a "new, constructive course." "Bush has already demonstrated the kind of leadership that can get things done in Washington, by making possible new political partnerships and coalitions. Bush has, to be sure, hardly solved all the problems of Texas. But he has worked successfully there across party lines, a skill Washington, DC, sorely needs," the paper said. The St. Paul Pioneer Press didn't express much confidence in Gore's leadership abilities, noting that his campaign against "'the powerful' has had a divisive tone." "It is harder to be confident that Al Gore could build the bridges across party lines that will be needed to work out compromises on essential but politically sensitive reforms." The editorial criticized Gore for apparently ruling out needed change in some areas, including Social Security and Medicare. The newspaper opposes Bush's opposition to abortion rights. And while it says Gore has a better grasp on national security and foreign policy than Bush does, it praises Bush's advisers in the foreign policy area, especially his selection of former Defense Secretary Richard Cheney as his running mate. "George W. Bush is not a perfect candidate. Al Gore is not a bad one. America faces no crisis. Our view is that Bush has emerged as the more energetic, creative, unifying leader, eager to challenge habitual assumptions of his party and his nation and seek out practical compromise solutions to the complex problems confronting America," the editorial concluded. cnsnews.com\Politics\archive\200010\POL20001016b.html
