20 Years Ago, Kerry Was In Congress and Bush Was An Unemployed Alcoholic
When Bush made the statements that Kerry has been waffling in the Congress for twenty years, it made me realize that in 1984 George W. Bush was an unemployed drunk and probably still a coke user.

I don't think he had his first "job" (one that Poppy bought for him) until he was nearly 40. Isn't that correct.

Our candidate was gaining experience for twenty years. Doesn't matter where he stood or stands on the issues.

9. He might be doing better now...
as far as having a job goes; but those years of inexperience are showing how raggedy this puppet is.

I think it is great if he got on the wagon and kicked the habits of old, I would not deny that of anyone; however, he never learned to take responsibility for his action, either then or now. That is one of the reasons he is a such a failure. He blames his own failures on everyone but where the responsibility lies, himself.

This is the worst administration ever.

5. 35 years ago, Kerry was in Vietnam & * was AWOL
I really do hope that we get a timeline from the Kerry campaign vis-a-vis the activities of the two candidates.

Let's see...while Kerry was opposing Reagan's illegal activities in El Salvador, Bush was bulldozing private homes in Arlington, TX to build his taxpayer-funded ballpark.

Hmmmm. I like this approach.

12. Oooh good idea!
That will make the comparison more brutal. Maybe we should include the time when Bush was running a corporation into the ground while Kerry was investigating Iran-Contra.
