deserter in chief

[rone]

(via ratphooey) I'm not Michael Moore's biggest fan, but you should read this. Money quote (from MoveOn.org):

Bush was apparently absent without official leave from his assigned military service for as little as seven months (New York Times) or as much as 17 months (Boston Globe) during a time when 500,000 American troops were fighting the Vietnam War. The Army defines a "deserter" — also known as a DFR, for "dropped from rolls" — as one who is AWOL 31 days or more.

I don't see how anyone can vote, in good conscience, for George W. Bush given this information, added to all of the things he's done. If he's done such a good thing for Iraq, he can go run for president there. We don't want him here anymore.

"A genuine commitment to breaking down and reshaping the culture that breeds terrorists."

That's pretty much utterly wrong. The attempt to "break down" the culture that breeds terrorists will fail. Look at Israel and how well they've done in that department. What Bush has done in the last 3 years doesn't make me feel any safer. And also consider how his administration grievously ignored any anti-terrorist information passed on by the Clinton administration.

Constructionism is an attempt to regard the Constitution as holy writ, and it should be considered pass´. If you want to see a restrained judiciary, maybe we should start with a legislative branch that passes cleaner and smarter laws, instead of crap that has riders hanging on it like the leech scene in "Stand By Me", or poorly thought-out crap like the Communications Decency Act.

How bad is Bush? I registered as a Democrat last week. That's how bad he is.
