I think he's just comparing candidate to candidate, especially looking
ast Harry's overly bogus post on McCain's "unacomplishments. "
"got himself shot down and taken prisoner?"
Harry, is that really how you think?
If so, then Icepick is right.
this DOES sound desperite for the DNC. >> Stay informed about: A list of failures longer than a list of accomplishments... |

If you like McCain, I wouldn't be bringing up Grant. While Grant,
himself, might have been clean, there was considerable corruption in his
administration, oh, and allegations of anti-semitism. >> Stay informed about: A list of failures longer than a list of accomplishments... |
