Don't forget, Ogar converted to a nerd as well! He would make a fine addition!

LOL!!!

This would be a textbook example (if anybody were ever to write one, do they still use text book, I wonder?) of how to obfuscate a political discussion.

Nerd Law, I love it!!!

I enjoy how the conservatives/republicans/morons cherry pick the quote. This is another swift boat situation. Repub smear machine in full force.

If you read the whole quote it is pretty clear that he is insulting the president. That is you study hard, get good grades, you don't get involved in a quagmire in Iraq.

Here is the exact quote: He said: "You know, education -- if you make the most of it, you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well.

"If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Can I see how it could be misconstrued or taken advantage of, YES.

Kerry was supposed to say, "I can't overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don't study, if you aren't smart, if you're intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq."

Furthermore, I, like Kerry, am tired of those who DELIBERATELY got out of service criticizing those who volunteered. I don't care if Kerry or Gore washed dishes, at least they volunteered.

Bush: Texas Air Guard (going into flight school is the oldest dodge in the book), Cheney got a deferral something like 5 times, Rumsfield was an aviator/instructor and transferred to the reserves. The following never served one day in the military yet are the architects of this war and send our troops in harms way: Condi, Wolfie, Perle, Feith, and Rove.

Prominent Repubs who never served: John Ashcroft, U.S. Attorney General,
Dennis Hastert, Speaker of the House, Tom Delay, Former House Majority Leader, Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, Roy Blunt, House Whip, Saxby Chambliss, (attacked Max Cleland), Jon Kyl, Senator (R-AZ), Phil Gramm, Rick Santorum, Senator (R-PA), Trent Lott, US Senator, Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker, Rudy Giuliani, Former NYC Mayor, Jeb Bush, Florida Governor.

Dems that served: Gephardt, Kennedy, Kerry, Kerrey, Clark, Holings, Rangel, Gray Davis, McGovern, Cleland, Harkin, Daschle, Carter, Mondale, and Gore.

MSM that never served: Rush, Coulter, Buchanon, Hume, Hannity, Kristol, O'reilly, Bill Bennett, Savage, etc.

Interesting that Dan Rather served, as did Lehrer, Buckley, Safire, and Kos.

Repubs criticizing the war have served: McCain, Hagel, Graham, etc.

Kiwon: If you are in the military, I applaud and honor your service. However, if you think those in charge have your best interest at heart then you are delusional. They deliberately ignored troop recommendations, had no plan for reconstruction, lied about intel, continue to act like an ostrich about the current situation, etc. As General Tommy Franks said about Feith, "the most stupid fucking man in the world."

Tyrone,

You complained about cherry picking, but I didn't notice a section where you list the Republicans who have served or the Dems who haven't served. Perhaps you'll edit that, but I doubt it.

Believe me, if Obama ran, he would win. He's black, so what? Maybe that will bring more of the African-American voters out.

Also, and I'm dead serious, Oprah makes an impact in the election. She loves Obama, and if she backs Obama, females will vote for him. Just look, she says to buy a certain book, and they buy it.

Obama will not win. He won't run. Feingold has a better chance at winning then Obama. Like I said, too young, too black, and being as Chicago is one of the biggest cities in the world its naturally going to be progressive and liberal. All those folks down their in Alabama may not appreciate a black president, just yet.

If there will be a black president, it'll be Colin Powell. He'd win, but he won't run. Why you ask? He has stated many, many times he is afraid of his inevitable assassination if he became president.

Not doubting you, but when did Powell say he fears assassination if he became President? I've never heard him say it.

Olberman is a tool--just like Limbaugh, Franken, Moore, and all the rest.

Tyrone,

Plenty of Dems haven't served, just like Repubs. I clearly listed Safire and Buckley. I could have listed Dem MSM that haven't served. However, the Dems aren't CHEERLEADING this war.

The point of the list was PROMINENT party members. Which Dem besides Pelosi and Clinton would you like to see? I wouldn't list women Repubs or Dems as I wouldn't expect most of them to have served.

I didn't mention the 55 vets running for office that ARE NOT Repubs. Nor did i go into the obvious manipulation of the system: Newt Gingrich, ex-Speaker of the House, went the Cheney route [of obtaining deferments]; Kenneth Starr, Clinton's legal nemesis, had psoriasis; Jack Kemp, Dole's running mate in 1996, was unfit because of a knee injury, though he heroically continued as a National Football League quarterback for another eight years; Pat Buchanan had arthritis in his knees, though he soon became an avid jogger.
