  So you attacked Clinton's past in a similar manor to how you are now 
attacking Bush's past?

  As I said, I don't generally attack either side's personal past. I only 
brought it up, in part, to show the inappropriateness of doing so.

  Hmm... I'm not sure if I would say that. Then again, I'm dubious on Bush and 
Clinton either deserving the titles you give them concerning drug usage... I 
suspect they overemphasize the issue. Whether draft-dodging or somehow 
slipping out of duty without penalty is worse, I'm not really sure. Neither 
is particularly a choice thing, and IIRC, both are felonies.

  Well, what about all of the attacks on Bush for having the photo-perfect 
time on the aircraft carrier. Of course he wanted to look good - just like 
every president. It's normal, but many democrats are mumbling about it 
anyway.
