Records
show pledges unmet
Boston Globe
-- 9-8-04
...Bush fell well short of meeting his military obligation, a Globe
reexamination of the records shows: Twice during his Guard service -- first
when he joined in May 1968, and again before he transferred out of his unit
in mid-1973 to attend Harvard Business School -- Bush signed documents
pledging to meet training commitments or face a punitive call-up to active
duty.
He
didn't meet the commitments or face the punishment, the records show.

Disturbing News
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE
REPUBLICAN
Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning
coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for
minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his
daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie
liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan
because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical
insurance -- now Joe gets it, too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and
eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws
to regulate the meat packing industry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly
labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some
crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and
how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The
air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for
laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station
for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in
parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for
affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a
contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits,
retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members
fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards
because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is
hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or
unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his
home because of his temporary misfortune.
Its noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills.
Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal
wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking
system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal
student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government
would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm
home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the
safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety
standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live
in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't
want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some
big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural
electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social
Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal
made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The
radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He
doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every
protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.
Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives!
After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of
themselves, just like I have."

Republican Shenanigans
“Mr. Bush spared no
effort preparing for his carrier landing -- he even received underwater survival
training in the White House pool. He didn't prepare for things that actually
mattered, like securing and rebuilding Iraq after Baghdad fell.” --
Paul Krugman – Columnist, New York Times
Good News
"After the
Republican National Convention ended, John Kerry gave a speech and said, 'The
RNC stands for 'Really Not Compassionate.' In response, President Bush said, 'Oh
