Dan Rather files lawsuit over Bush National Guard Story

Dan Rather files lawsuit over Bush National Guard Story

Dan Rather filed a $70 Million dollar lawsuit against CBS for being the “fall guy” over the Bush Texas Air National Guard story. The controversy over the authenticity of the order given Bush by his Commanding Officer to take a Required Flight Physical was the only issue everyone wanted to focus on. The facts about Bush and his service in the Air Guard were not important. In reality this story has many more issues the most important of which is how Bush got an Honorable Discharge without which he could never have run for Governor of Texas much less President of the United States.

The issues and questions that are part of the Bush National Guard service include the following:


How did Bush obtain his Commission?

Why did Bush seek a National Guard Commission?

Did Bush attend the required drills?

Did Bush participate in required training exercise?

Did Bush maintain his Flight Qualification by:

Attending the required drills?

By taking the required Flight Physical?

Did Bush receive an Order from his commander to take the Flight Physical?

Was a Board of Inquiry convened to investigate the grounding of Bush?

Where is the report from the Board of Inquiry?

Why did George Bush refuse to take his Flight Physical?

How did Bush receive his early release?

How did Bush get an Honorable Discharge given his refusal to take a physical and attend drills in Texas as ordered?

LOOK at the election results in 2006. People are NOT in agreement with the policies we are following and you will see MORE of that desire for change in 2008.


Democrats "won" because conservative voters stayed home and punished the GOP.  The democrats barely have a majority so don't try to present it at that.

And since you ignored this in your other thread...


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton trails five top Republican presidential contenders in general election match-ups, a drop in support from this summer, according to a poll released on Monday.

I take it gene doesn't like the polls about Hillary.  Since he loves polls that blows his '08 theory out of the water.

The issue is not Bush but his policies(emphasis added). Most of the GOP candidates for the most part support the Bush policies which is a good reason to not support them in 2008. We also need to deal with the members of Congress that are up for reelection in 2008 who continue to support the failed Bush policies!

Things like:

Private Accounts for Social Security
The Iraq war
Our Trade Policy
Immigration
Energy
Health Care
Continuation of tax cuts to the wealthy we can not afford.
Refusal to fund Medicare


SSDD.

Sack of Shit, Doubly Deranged. Nothing more, nothing less.
