George W. Bush is a Loser

Give me a word for a gutless, draft-dodger that supports a war he wont participate in. Chickenhawk?

Okay. The Chickenhawk in Chief is calling me out as a pussy and comparing me unfavorably with my father that served in Stuttgart in the early fifties and my grandfather that was a surgeon at Leavenworth, Kansas during the Big War. They were FDR, Truman Democrats that contributed their part to defeating Nazis and Stalinists.

In his sharpest partisan attack of this election campaign, President Bush denounced Democratic critics of his Iraq policy on Thursday and said “the party of FDR and the party of Harry Truman has become the party of cut and run.”

George W. Bush can bite me. I may not be made of the same stuff as my father and my grandfather. I never pretended that I was. But I know I can do what my country requires of me, just as they did. George W. Bush didn’t meet that test. He got a cushy job in the Texas National Guard and then went AWOL. He is a loser. He’s always been a loser. And he will go down in history as much worse than a loser.
