Uh, did you read any of his 112 contradicting comments about the 9/11 Commission before he finally caved in like the weasel he is? Dumbya flops, therefore he am. Apologies to Descartes. <G>

Republicans Say Kerry Must Release Military Records news.yahoo.com WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Opening a new campaign front, President Bush Republican Party on Tuesday called on Democrat John Kerry to release his Vietnam-era military records. Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie made the demand after the Boston Globe reported the Kerry campaign was refusing to give up more of Kerry's military records even though he had promised to do so on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. Kerry has cited his military service during the Vietnam war as a major reason why he has the strength and fortitude to serve as president. Kerry, a Massachusetts senator and the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, became a leader of the anti-war movement after returning from Vietnam where he was decorated with a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. He served in the Navy from 1966 to 1970. Bush surrendered his National Guard files from the Vietnam war period in February to try to stamp out election-year charges from Democrats that he shirked his duty. Those documents offered no new evidence to place Bush in Alabama during the latter part of 1972, the period when Democrats claimed he was basically absent without leave. Gillespie said Bush had followed through on a pledge made on "Meet the Press" and that Kerry should do the same. "When President Bush committed to release all his military records on the same program, he kept his word. John Kerry should do the same. Voters aren't stupid, and he shouldn't treat us as if we are," Gillespie said in remarks prepared for the Lucas County Lincoln Day dinner in Lucas County, Ohio. * * *

flip flopping isnt the Bush way Flip Flopping, as you put it, always crudely, is not a big problem for me. As if changing one's mind were a crime. I'd rather elect a politician who has the nuts to admit he was wrong on occasion. I fear the zealots who cannot bend to a better argument. For example: Lincoln. Lincoln was no great lover of racial mixing. Yet he had the nuts to overcome his early inculcation and lead the country out of slavery. It's the self assured extremists we should be afraid of, like Khomeni or Nixon who can't ever admit they were wrong and are willing to use violence at any turn to get their way.
