If you like that than you'd love Huckabee. Romney would never get my support because of his anti gun stance. | ||
| Teeps |
+1 but I doubt Ted would want to take the pay cut. The bigger problem is all the stooges in the House and Senate. | ||

I want "Joe the Farmer" He knows how to balance his budget. Pay his bills and Taxes, Respects the rights of others, and wouldn't take no S*** off these Dumda**es in congress. We really just need rid of career pols. And that starts at the primarys. Too bad "joe public" keeps putting them back in.  | ||

"Democracy is a great idea, too bad the populace keeps mucking it up. ;o)" My friend Yuri from then Leningrad. Well he didnt say mucking, but well this is a family show. | ||

watched all four of those and if we only had one person in politics that had that kind of stance, we'd all be better off. i wish he would run for some kind of office. | ||

Ted's got a mother lode of common sense. I'd vote for him as well. ~SM | ||
| Kyrocket |
...and that my friend is the problem, too much common sense. Seems to me Ted has a wonderful life and makes good, very good money. Why would he mess that up to work with a bunch of goobers? | ||
| Poppinsexz |
I got one problem with Ted. Wasn't he a draft dodger back in the day? I believe he was quoted as saying that the day of his physical he went out and got stoned and drunk to the hilt. so that he would fail. If true, then he's just another poser to me. Hopefully someone can correct me on this. | ||

I have heard the same Poppin - I dunno tho, I wore a black armband in High School, celebrated the day the draft died. Then a few years later pulled a 6 year stint in the Navy. Got VFW status from participation in Bright Eagle. We all do stupid things in our youth. I even inhaled. Given the choices I've seen lately I'd forgive Ted his past indiscretions and vote for him.

I remember reading an interview of Ted in high times magazine around 1976-77 where he told that story of how he got out of his physical. | ||

The draft was a bad idea. I don't blame anyone for rejecting it. Compulsory service is bad for our military. If my father hadn't failed the physical (football injury) I might not be here today. | ||
| Poppinsexz |
If he were a candidate, I would still vote for him. As our choices of late have all sucked. I just don't fawn over him as the second coming. And that wasn't a shot at anyone here. They say to ask for forgivness is to be forgiven. I just haven't heard the ask. | ||

And if Teb became President, we'd have hotness for the 1st Lady. | ||

+1 everyone! Sweaty Teddy for President! | ||

The draft dodging thing is a big turd in the punch bowl... Chances are at that time.....the punch in the bowl was no good anyways. His draft dodge was honest. That of Geo W. and others were not. Honest I can live with. At that time it may have been the intelligent choice and much harder to do. I was in the line for next up back then, when the draft, and the registration for the draft, was stopped. Probably the last time the American people stood with a unified voice on a political hot potato. (No offense to 9/11) I used to think of Ted as an extremist, not so much anymore. | ||

His draft dodge was honest. That of Geo W. and others were not. You may want to rethink that bit of "public knowledge" about Bush being a dodger. Mapes had information prior to the airing of the September 8 [2004] Segment that President Bush, while in the TexANG [Texas Air National Guard] did volunteer for service in Vietnam but was turned down in favor of more experienced pilots. For example, a flight instructor who served in the TexANG with Lieutenant Bush advised Mapes in 1999 that Lieutenant Bush “did want to go to Vietnam but others went first.” Similarly, several others advised Mapes in 1999, and again in 2004 before September 8, that Lieutenant Bush had volunteered to go to Vietnam but did not have enough flight hours to qualify.

How do you honestly 'dodge' a draft? | ||

How do you honestly 'dodge' a draft? By enlisting first. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
When I found out that someone I work for was a conscientious objector during the Korean War..... well, lets just say it still bugs the crap out of me. | ||

I have the upmost respect for those who serve, but I do not like the idea of the draft. Should we enter into a conflict where the draft again became neccesary, I'm not quite sure how I would feel or what I would do, especially if it were a conflict in which I think we had no business being in (which is most). And to calm anyones nerves about my comments, the idea of serving doesn't bother me. There have been a few times I seriousy considered enlisting, most recently into the Navy with the hopes of becomming an avitor - but I had decided that where I was in life, how far along I was in college and in my personal relationship that it didn't make much sense. But for my government for force me to fight to the death over something I myself may not believe in or see the reason for... I have a problem with that. | ||

"But for my government for force me to fight to the death over something I myself may not believe in or see the reason for... I have a problem with that." Along with our rights come some serious responsibilities. A person can complain and bitch all they want. I don't even care if they use all the tricks in the rule book to avoid being infantry. I don't even care if they scour the books for exemptions and deferments, but when their number finally gets called, they need to step up and serve, or take the first flight out and never come back. |
