How is that? Here are the sentences you put in bold. but more importantly, it will serve to justify the Rep. scrutinizing Kerry's war record, which isn't as squeaky clean as one might think. I am talking about this. I simply said that Kerry, by allowing the Dems. to grill GW about his national guard tour, will invite the Rep. to grill Kerry about his service in Nam. Just how is that distasteful. If you think I am alone, read this. Even Kerry's own staffers agree. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mensnewsdaily.com The colleague added that he is concerned Kerry has raised the character question with Bush's National Guard service considering these alleged issues about his own character. "This Red Herring over Bush's [Texas] Air National Guard records is just BS and John knows this but keeps the issue alive by not coming out and telling his supporters and party leaders to stop the nonsense," the Senate colleague told Insight Online. A Kerry campaign staffer said the campaign is bracing for the difficult questions in the coming weeks and months. "Did he cheat on his current wife? Did he cheat on his first wife? Has he used illegal drugs? What were the circumstances of his not completing his tour of duty in Vietnam?," inquired the Kerry aide to Insight Online. He added, "These are the types of questions that now are fair game because John [Kerry] let the dogs out" accusing Bush of character flaws with his Guard service. Furthermore, unlike Bush, Kerry has not endured an intense campaign into his past. "Bush has undergone national attention and scrutiny by the press in a grueling [national] campaign once before and a very nasty race in Texas," the Senate colleague commented to Insight Online. "John has not gone through that and to hold himself out as a man of character at the same time his own troops and party are trying to throw mud on Bush is stupid." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> my urge had been to say that you are a maggot of a human being...so I did not respond at all And you want to accuse me of being distasteful. I think I will refrain from responding now as well...but I think you get the message. Oh I get the message. The word I am searching for matches John word, without the last four letters. Cluck Cluck. Claaack.
