Well, at least they both got their Yale degrees, D's and all. The same can't be said for Dick Cheney, who dropped out of Yale, not once, but twice. http://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=12444.
Kerry tried to get deferments but was unable to secure one so, since it was inevitable that he was to go, he volunteered in order to choose what branch he got to serve in.
I wonder what some of the right are saying about Kerry releasing his full military records today and there being NOTHING in there unknown or shocking he should of just relased it all before to shut his critics up
they're saying kerry is either the stupidest politician alive, or something's still missing. and it's worth noting that the author of the globe story has an extremely close relationship to kerry. until those records are made available to the general public, the verdict will have to remain: incomplete.
no one really believes that bush is a smarter guy than kerry, do they? i mean... i'm not a fan of kerry at all, but bush couldn't even name some of the capitals of countries he would be doing business with. dont make me post a list of bush-isms.
I think we should all realize that they are both idiots and are phony. All politicians are out for thier own good and are doing nothing to help our most pressing need: education. We need more money spent on education, but more importantly we need someone to spend it the right way. Everyone b*tches about our political process and that there is no way to escape from the 2 party system. The only way we can break the cycle of having to vote for the lesser of 2 evils is for the entire country to become more educated and enlightened. Education breeds tolerance and understanding and a more intelligent society wouldn't vote for self-serving politicians. That said, Bush sucks.
oh but there is something shocking in those records. The shocking thing is all the praise and commendations heaped on him at the time of his duty by some of the folks who later were in Swift Boats for Veterans. That's pretty funny.
Where did they drag up those photos? My guess is that GW probably had more success with the ladies back in the day. Maybe one day they'll drag up some woman who's dated both of them.
1. Kerry's grades don't surprise me. 2. The liberals' endless pot-shots about Bush's "Gentleman's C's" at Yale sure do look stupid now. 3. In typical form, andymoon ignores the FACTS once again and declares Kerry smarter, despite concrete evidence to the contrary. 4. Oops! (see below) http://bbs2.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=77344&highlight=Bush+Gentlemans 5-7-2004 In a thread where Batman quotes an article that pokes fun at Bush's Gentleman's C's at Yale. OWNED
I don't know if grades necessarily equate intelligence. We don't know if Bush was wired when he took those tests in Yale. Look if he could somehow get himself into Texas Air National Guard to avoid combatting in Vietnam - a tall order for an average Joe at that time, why should we believe he passed all these courses in Yale all on his own?
Yet when he got there he volunteered for a very dangerous assignment instead of staying with a cushy one.
