raising two daughters was far tougher."
Just another example of a blatant Republican LIE that was not covered by the MSM

Hey, it was rough duty guarding the officers club in Texas from Viet Cong infiltration.
Somebody had to do it and Bush did a great job until he went AWOL!

1. He's 'been to war'? Doesn't he mean he started one or two?
Now there's a feat not many can claim fame to. :eyes:

2. There is nothing that angers me more than people who complain about how horrible their kids are.
Especially when the entire world knows who the kids are, especially when we are supposed to love our children unconditionally.

8. Yep, even when they claim they are "just kidding"
it's not really funny to me. I always feel like I should add something positive about the child to the conversation.

4. I have been to war myself; he and I are about the same age. I don't remember seeing him there.

7. I remember him slipping that lie under the radar
Dubya is a low life like those other military impersonators. As a coward he could not do his duty in uniform, so he made up a lie for his base to believe in.

10. The "I've been to war" Dubya Bush's remark is as remarkable as
Reagan's delusional descriptions of his war battle experiences.

15. His entire "service" is an insult.
For the record back then flight training per jock cost the taxpayers o/a a half million. Best estimate on the number of hours he sat in the pit o/a 60 to 70. That creature has been robbing us since Day One.

12. My favorite Bush lie that the MSM let slide:
He didn't take his flight physical (June 1972) because his "personal physician" wasn't available.

14. The only war he's actively fought in is the ongoing class war.
Why won't he go away?

16. I read that crap on duyaspeak ages ago.
The best (worst) part is, at that time (2004?), something like 35% of people polled actually believed that he HAD been to war.

19. What do we expect from an ass that made that "nope, no WMDs over here" video
as he looked underneath WH furniture. Meanwhile, no telling how many troops died that same day from REALLY being out looking for the non-existent WMDs.

21. Of course "raising two daughters" would be more difficult for a serial killer than starting wars.
