Yeah, and then while SecDef Cheney had 'em destroy all the F-14 tooling, leaving my navy with a short-range airshow performer (F/A-18... and you know what they call Fighter/Attack Guys? FAGS) instead of a proper Bombcat. I'm still mad at him for that.

Keep up the good work. We have to get the word out on Bush and Cheney. These men must not be permited to regain the White House in 2016 . While you are at it maybe you better dig up some dirt on Reagan, Ford and Nixon. We cant have these evil dead repugnicans rising to power again!

I notice you failed to post what you said above on the Clinton draft dodge thread. I believe his office was before Bush. Care to explain why you ONLY chose the one on Bush and Cheney to comment on ?

[lakota]

I dont care about any of them as they are all term limited out. Why dont we go back and argue about the Hoover Administration? It would be just about as productive.

  ..And you seriously think B Hussein Obama is running the show?

[nw_hunter]

Now we're getting somewhere! None of these flunkies that we are made to believe we as voters had a part in electing are running the show.TPTB do have their favorites it would appear.They will continue to keep running a Bush every now and then, until they quit reproducing. Or perhaps a cousin like Gore, or an occasional token Minority.

Get ready to welcome the Clintons........................AGAIN !!

[magooch]

I'm still waiting to hear about the honorable service that the current president did;  not that I believe military service is, or should be a prerequisite.
