: /p> p>You were too kind by half to Senator Lieberman. Yes, he may be the most gentlemanly of the lot. However, he too threw his principles over the side when he signed on as Algore's running mate. Take note, also, of his recent backing and filling about his comments on the horror of "what opponents call" partial birth abortion. The man wears the mantle of reason and moderation well, but it is, unfortunately, a sham after all. The gentlemen of the Democratic senatorial contingent can be counted on one hand -- Zell Miller, John Breaux, and, possibly, Evan Bayh. The rest are charlatans of the first order. The charlatans of the Republican senatorial contingent, by comparison, can be, fortunately, counted on one hand - Arlen Specter comes immediately to mind, followed by Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins. br> -- P.A.

I doubt that Terry McAuliffe will promote the idea that Clinton served at Bull Run as he probably has no clue what Bull Run was except some vague notion that it has something to do with that "thing in Pamplona."

I have been nosing around about the "transgressions" and "desertion" of George W. Bush and it would appear most of the heroic zealots of the Left have not been paying attention to what transpired nearly 35 years ago.

From what seems to be fact -- and not the fiction of useful idiots like Michael Moore -- Bush was able to obtain a slot in the Texas ANG. To get in he had to go through primary and advanced flight school and then convert to fly the F-102A Delta Dagger interceptor.

The F-102 had a long and troubled development career, and once in service was found to not be able to do what it was supposed to -- go supersonic on its way to intercept Soviet bombers -- and as such began phasing out of the active inventory in 1959 as they replaced it with the much better F-106A (which could.)
