I could care less what percentage of any list of persons is black, white, red, yellow, purple, perriwinkle, or fluorescent pink for that matter. Since you're interested in such things, let's postulate for a bit. Given the racial breakdown of felons in the US, what list of felons would NOT consist of mostly minorities? Still waiting for the left to produce the person who was not allowed to vote because of his/her race. I'm not holding my breath, however. I do laud those looking out for racial prejudice and bigotry in Florida, however. Any state that would elect Corrine Brown to the House needs a close eye kept on it in that regard.

I've got 40 some hours and need to get off of my ass and finish the PPL. Skydiving is still my first love. I do find peae at the controls sometimes, but flying is just so boring compared to doing some kickass RW or freeflying. Perhaps when I get a lot more hours and can start some aerobatics I'll think differently, but that's a lot of time and $$$$$$$$ (that I don't currently have) in the future.

You honestly think the left has a backbone? ROFLMFAO! They can't even show their true colors at their own presidential convention! They were trying to play the most liberal senator in the senate off as a centrist! They can't tell America what they support because all of those electicians, plumbers, carpenters, &c. would throw UP that they had ever voted for them! Let's look at some gems from the Democratic platform for a bit: - support racial discrimination - support abortion for minors without parental notification - support forced union membership - against school choice - want to raise taxes (especially for those who pay most of the taxes already) Now, can you honestly tell me that you could go into any African America church - a popular pulpit for lefties, state the above, and expect their support? Of COURSE not! If you can't state openly what you support - no backbone. Period.

I'm not very astounded, but thanks for trying. 85% lower enlisted ranks, are 50/50 dem/rep, eh? Not the ones with whom I've dealt. Wonder where that was done. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I was just wondering where the poll was taken, # of folks polled, that sort of thing. Rank distribution of those polled would be VERY interesting. Rate/MOS/etc. Service. All would be of interest. Thanks anyway. Interesting metric to look at regardless of the above, as any indication that the military wouldn't vote monolithically republican would be as astounding as inner-city minorities not voting monolithically democrat.

I'd be quite interested in seeing how the poll that produced the 50-50 results was run. I know a LOT of active duty folks and only know 2 or three that plan on voting for John Kerry. Do you have a link?

I don't know many that do...and I know many. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Ad/Book vs. documentary [sic]. Equivalent? I think not.

I'm sure I could in some regards. He has my all-time favorite line from politics regarding the longest place he ever lived - Hanoi. Have to read his remarks, but I think given all the attacks on GWB's guard service by Kerry supporters, this is a case of what goes around comes around.

Read about it this morning. What was Brit saying? I think the reason it's coming up now is that sKerry has made his Vietnam service one of the focal points of his campaign.

Melstar iz cool. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

The Bush campaign isn't doing this - SwiftBoatVetsForTruth is. I didn't watch FoxNews at all last night - I was cooking and reading. I think every member of SwiftboatVetsForTruth knew prior to embarking on this venture that every facet of their lives would be opened up and researched for smear purposes. I'm not sure it's all that bad of an idea. sKerry has touted his Vietnam service and made it a fairly large part of his campaign. His supporters have raked GWB's guard service over the coals and picked through his 30+ year old military records with a fine-toothed comb looking for dirt while chortling about their standard bearer being a decorated vet. Other than sKerry's Vietnam service he doesn't have a lot to run on. His voting record in the Senate - no way; he's trying to avoid being branded a hard-left liberal and his voting record shows him to be just that. Legisltation he sponsored in the Senate and got passed - yeah, right. His attendance at committee meetings as a Senator and his input there - gimme a break. Other than his platform, consisting of a hodge podge of special interest mantras quilted together, he doesn't have a lot other than his record. Because of that, the SwiftVets' campaign seems like a tit for tat retaliation for raking GWB's national guard record over the coals. The response of the left has been quite humorous.

Personal responsibility. Each person's ability to function the morning after is different. I do drink the evening before, myself. Tequila most of the time, but I also partake of the Nectar of the Gods - beer - en masse with great frequency.

Well well well. It seems everyone's favorite socialist, John Kerry, is in a bit of an uproar over the upcoming release of UNFIT FOR COMMAND. This is just too funny. The sKerry campaign is just all in a tiff because Swiftboat Veterans for Truth is attacking his Vietnam War record and doing a good job of it. Of course we already knew that the majority of Flipper's former shipmates were against him politically, but what they are saying now is just amazing. Of course, what sKerry himself said - and wrote - upon returning from the war was pretty amazing - and damning - in and of itself too. This is particularly damning for Messrs. sKerry and Edwards because sKerry's record in Vietnam has been the centerpoint of his campaign. Now the vets sKerry denounced as war criminals in front of Congress are having their side of the story told in public and he's none too happy about it. From Boortz this morning: "You will remember that during the 2000 election the Democratic Party sent legions of lawyers to every single election district in Florida with marching orders to see to it that every single vote cast by a member of our armed forces serving overseas be disqualified. Such is the love of the Democrats for the U.S. military. The Democrats have rallied the lawyers again, and once again their targets are military; this time Vietnam veterans. Lawyers for the Democratic Party and the Kerry/Edwards campaign are sending letters to television stations threatening them with legal action if they run the ad from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. What's the matter, boys? Can dish it out, but you can't take it? Yesterday on The Neal Boortz Show we interviewed Dr. Louis Letson. Dr. Letson was the physician who treated John Kerry for the superficial wound that led to Kerry's first Purple Heart. In the letter to television stations the Democratic lawyers have a few things to say about Dr. Letson and that particular incident. Paragraph 4 of the letter reads: "Further, the 'doctor' who appears in the ad, Louis Letson, was not a crewmate of Senator Kerry's and was not the doctor who actually signed Senator Kerry's sick call sheet. In fact, another physician signed actually signed Senator Kerry's sick call sheet." Later in that threatening letter to television station managers the Democrat lawyers even charge that Letson is a "phony" doctor. This tactic seems to be working. Even Brit Hume of Fox News Channel was questioning last night if Letson is actually a doctor. We covered this with Letson yesterday on the air. Louis Letson confirmed that he was, indeed, a doctor, and was the only physician serving in that particular region of Vietnam. Letson told us that it was his practice to have one of his assistants sign all of the records for treatment received at the dispensary. Further, Letson said that the person who signed Kerry's treatment record was NOT, as the Democrat's letter states, a physician, but was in effect a medic. In the letter the Democrat lawyers also seem to be quite upset that the Vietnam Veterans for Truth are being financed by a Houston homebuilder. Imagine that! What about those ads the Democrats have been running under the umbrella of those "527" organizations? What about Moveon.org? How are the ads being run by these organizations different from the ads being run by the swift boat veterans? Those ads, you see, are financed by a wealthy international financier named George Soros. Democrats have no problem with having a foreign-born international money man financing their ads slamming George Bush, but let a Texan, a Houston homebuilder, finance ads against John Kerry and it's the end of the world! This morning I saw Jim Rassman on television. Rassman is the man whom Kerry pulled out of the river. Rassman has been called forth by the Democrats to say that this Swift Boat Veterans for Truth advertising campaign is not very nice. Rassman said that "It's very dishonest at this stage of the game, 35 years after the fact, to call this into question. This is an example of the lowest form of politics." Funny ... do you remember any Kerry supporters coming forth to say that very thing about Bush's National Guard service? That, too, was 35 years ago. The difference, of course, is that George Bush is not running on the record of his years in the National Guard. He's running on his years as Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces, and nobody has even whispered a suggestion that he strayed from that post. Kerry? All he has is Vietnam? He's been focusing on those four months since he announced his candidacy. OK .. so he wanted to make those four months his primary qualification for the presidency. Fine. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are happy to rise to the challenge." Vinny the Anvil

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,127975,00.html I don't like that at all. Part of the reason - other than her Socialist political views - I was so adamantly against Madame Clintonista's bid for the NY Senate seat was the fact that the Clintonistas had NEVER lived in NY. Such shenanigans seem completely contrary to the founding fathers' original intent of representation - the spirit of it at any rate. I guess an attorney can represent a client he/she has never met before, so why couldn't a senator represent a state in which they've never lived? Still, I find it offensive and not in the spirit of Congressional representation's intent. Thoughts? Vinny the Anvil

Drinking that wine stuff when fine tequila was available was an obvious mistake. Cheap drunk or not, you're cool. Vitamin B6 is eradicated from your body when you drink, so a B6 pill the morning after will help you out (with ibuprofen too).
