The points you made on Bush I agreed on. Everyone of them

The Kerry scandal is another story because it certainly now looks as if it was invented and is not based on any facts...which is the big difference here.
I don't really know if this was fabricated yet. Damn convenient timing though to take the heat off of Bush. I really hope that it is not so the voters can look at the issues not the mud slinging.

The Bush scandal is based around something that really happened...his service in the Guard. The Kerry scandal is a fabrication and that makes it far more disgusting than the Bush deal. You could argue that  Terry and some Dem's are behaving in a disgusting manner but the facts around the deal and Bushco's poor ways of dealing with it are making it much  worse than it should be.
Again let it shake out that this is a fabrication. I would hardly call missing a day or so at the national guard grounds for calling someone a "deserter" which is the term McAullife used. That is a massive fabrication

Is that agreeable?
As usual Reg you make an excellent post with just a tinge of partisonship. Well done
