I agree. This whole AWOL thing feels absurd to me. Some Democrats are trying to stir up trouble over something vague that may or may not have happened OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO? Come on. If this is the best they can do, then Bush definitely deserves re-election.

To be honest, even if it was true (and I don't believe it is), it wouldn't have an impact on my opinion. Someone cut school for a day? Big whoop.

This is one of the reasons I never want to run for office. I mean, I know I'm a good person, I'm smart, I'm ethical, I do my homework, I've got no police record more serious than the occasional speeding ticket, and I believe strongly in doing the right thing for the community, instead of for myself. But gawd, if my life were opened to public scrutiny, I know I'd stand zero chance.
