You are AWARE that Bush went to a fund raiser right AFTER his trip to New
Orleans aren't you. The republicans haven't stopped their campaigning. one
thing the republicans do well is political tactics.

Only in your mind, Mark Only in your mind.

Of course given that he actually served honorably I'd say he may have far
more reason to think that ( if he does) than those who avoided service so
well

Nothing like reading something other than was was written is there Mark.
That seems to be common among the conservatives.

AVOID IT HELL that's their primary political TACTIC. Bush started fighting
back long before he became President. Long before the Democrats stated
their attacks.

Are you attempting to deny the sustained attack by Republians on anyone who
disagress with them ? With a LOT of untrue statements.

I'd like to see the republicnas NOT do what they accuse everyone else of doing.

A memo that he REPLIED TO.
