bush and leadership
The Plame outing - bush told his staff to "cooperate." If they cooperated, why are we having an investigation? If I told one of my Sailors to "cooperate" in a justifiable inquiry, there would be no need to "investigate."

bush's military record. The hate machine is working overtime to obfuscate this issue. However, there is no doubt the man departed his command, his duty, his responsibilities, and most importantly HIS SUBORDINATE AIRMEN. He was assigned a job which included support crew which depended on his leadership to take care of them, to guide them, to educate them, to discipline them if need be. That did not happen because he chose to leave; he was more concerned with himself then his men.

The pattern continues my fellow Americans. george bush failed yesterday, he failed today and if we allow it, he will fail tomorrow. And our country will suffer because of it.

1. You could say then he is a "miserable failure"
Truer words were never spoken. Gep hit that one out of the park.

2. Have Dems other than Clark backed down on answering "deserter"
questions? I have been floored that any members of the media are even asking the question; anyone heard any good responses from any of the candidates, if the issue has come up?

3. Some people grow out of their immaturity and failure modes.
Not Bu$h. His immaturity was epitomized by his "flight-suit strut" on the USS Abraham Lincoln and his "Bring 'em on" taunt a few weeks later. His failures are epitomized by .. by .. well, just look around. His failures are everywhere.

4. Tex
That's right. His appeal is his immaturity. This is an immature nation, glorifying adolescent behavior.
