New York: For the first time since the Presidential race became a two person contest last spring, there is a clear leader, the latest TIME poll shows. If the 2004 election for President were held today, 52% of likely voters surveyed would vote for President George W. Bush, 41% would vote for Democratic nominee John Kerry, and 3% would vote for Ralph Nader, according to a new TIME poll conducted from Aug. 31 to Sept. 2. Poll results are available on TIME.com and will appear in the upcoming issue of TIME magazine, on newsstands Monday, Sept. 6.

The Bush supporters are the ones that kept bringing up Vietnam, and bringing it up and bringing it up. But as sometimes happens, people began questioning the accusers and Lo and Behold we learn that our Current President, Mr. GWB is a liar. He did not serve honorably in the National Guard. He took free flying lessons, at government expense, and skipped out. Oh, what a tangled web we weave....

Stay tuned for the rest of the story....

WOW, NICE SPIN!!!

You must also believe that the 2nd Amendment means something entirely different than it says, too! Perhaps that it applies to the National Guard that was formed many years after the amendment was written?

Give 'em the truth and they twist it to suit their agenda anyway!!!!

Donna has already said she'll quit reading any links that disagree with what she knows to be "true" without question.

Thanks, Donna!!!!

All veterans, no matter where they were stationed during that time were considered Vietnam era veterans. Why does this matter? He wasn't in Vietnam, and he didn't see any battle until he actually went to Vietnam for 4 months and 12 days. President Bush didn't see *any* battle, so Kerry has 4 months and 12 days of battle experience ahead of President Bush. President Bush has *four years* experience as Commander In Chief of our armed forces. So - Kerry has four months of battle experience as a soldier compared to President Bush's FOUR YEARS of Leadership of the largest military in the world. Who has the most experience?

Very nice point, Minnie.

Yes, if Kerry is going to consider his desertion due to falsifying reports as Vietnam veteran, then Bush is most certainly a Vietnam veteran, too.

It's going to be hands over ears shouting in attempted rebuttal to that one. That and a couple more attacks on Bush. It's all they've got.

But I DID address it, you just weren't listening. I said that President Nixon could not do anything as president until he was sworn in. He wouldn't be denying that people were in Cambodia on a secret mission yet, don't you see, because President Johnson was still in charge. Why would it be Nixon's place to deny what President Johnson was doing (as if Johnson ever did anything that Nixon supported).

And there is *nobody* that will confirm that Kerry was *ever* on a secret mission into Cambodia. It was so secret that *nobody* up the chain of command knew anything about it, none of his "band of brothers" will confirm anything like this. Nobody knew anything about it. There is not one man who was around back then that will vouch for Kerry on this whopper.

"I cannot believe people will vote on image and charisma alone and not facts but they have, they do and they will."

As evidenced by the fact that Clinton was elected TWICE!!!!!!

I thought Kerry was the one "reporting for duty" and who likes to begin just about every stump speach with the fact that he served in Vietnam.

I haven't heard Bush say anything about Vietnam, or about Kerry's service in Vietnam, except that he honored Kerry's service.

You're wrong on this part, Kerry is the one who keeps turning back to Vietnam.

Well apparently the paper that broke the original story, The Boston Globe, was satisfied with the information that they got and closed their story on the issue some months ago.

The Kerry campaign, and McAulliffe to be more specific is trying to bring this back up again, to deflect the attention away from Kerry as the Democratic candidate is taking a beating on the trails right now, especially from Veterans groups.

Except now, with regards to the first Purple Heart, the Kerry team has stated that there was no enemy fire.

To me, his service is not an issue, except that he did serve in Vietnam, and is owed a debt of gratitude by this country. It is the embelishments that have come from his service, that he keeps having to backtrack on and change, when confronted with opposition that is the issue. It goes towards his credibility.
