None of the above would matter to me in voting for President, all other things being equal, except for #3. That was dirty.

1) That he was given an advantage for entry over others because of his father.

This statement is contradicted by the facts. The first contact between Bush the congressman and any officers in the reserve about GW Bush was a letter from his CO praising lieutenant Bush. At the time, he was accepted there were many pilot positions open. Every qualified applicant was accepted. Bush was well qualified.

2) That his service performance was not of good quality. That he behaved in the service much like he behaved in his life to date.......like a spoiled, pampered dilettante.

This was the allegation of the discredited Dan Rather. Other accounts contradict this allegation.

) That his campaign encouraged the swifties to attack Kerry and his medals; a man who did serve his country honorably and did not try to avoid fighting in the war.

Kerry's campaign has coordinated with moron.org and other Democrat attack groups. Kerry has encouraged people like Whoopi, and Michael Moron. Those who wish their condemnation to be respected generally condemn both sides.
