You are right. The Republicans (and Democrats) will reverse issues in election charges, depending on who is in office.

It is certainly true that the Democrats tried to use Kerry's military experience against Bush (which was silly, since Bush had 4 years of being a commander in chief, while Kerry was a low-level soldier).

It is also true that none of the leaders in either party have any military experience.

But is this unusual.

George Bush in 1980 ran on the platform that he would NEVER commit US troops where United States national interests were not directly at stake (and so did the Republican Platform). He then invades Iraq, where no US interests were directly at stake.

It is true that the Democrats have traditionally argued that the United States has a moral obligation to use its resources (including military resources) to stop the massacre of people, and oppressed people (e.g., somolia), except in Iraq (Saddam, dictator, mass murderer, etc.), because THAT war was started by a Republican.

It is true t hat the Republicans have tradtionally been the party of smaller government ... except when the president is Bush, who increased discretionary spending faster than any president in US history.

It is true that Democrats have traditionally supported a larger government roll for social programs -- except when they are proposed by a Republican, in which case they should be bad.

It is true that the Republicans have traditionally supported a balanced budget -- except when the President supports an increased deficit and a budget that cannot be balanced -- when that president is a Democrat.

It is true that the Democrats have traditionally (but see the Clinton budget), not been as concerned about a balanced budget (although the largest deficits in history have been under Bush I, Reagan and Bush II), but complain loud and hard against an unbalanced budget proposed by a Republican.

It is the way of politics. Nobody really cares about the truth, issues, or what is best for the country. They care about power. And if reversing course on issues will result in more power, you can bet that the politicians will jump on that issue. Except McCain, and look where that has gotten him.

I think Hillary Clinton would be a terrible President.

But, I also think your question is rude and uncalled for; why do so many conservatives stoop to such mean-spirited levels using insults and crude name-calling? Is it because they have no intelligent basis for their argument?

Bush had no 'combat experience'. In fact, he went AWOL from his National Guard unit after he got to fly a fighterjet, and without consequence or reprimand all because of his father's money, power and influence. So how can Bush be Commander-In-Chief?? He was nothing more than a proven coward who cut-and-run instead of serving his country like a true American hero would have done.

You analogy lacks strength because Bush's military record lacks substance. Better we elect a President without any military combat experience than a President who was too much of a sissy to serve.

I pray that Hillary is not elected; but I also pray that someone - anyone - replaces George W. Bush. -RKO- 07/20/07

Unfortunatley, Mr. Jim, I don't think the people who love Hillary and Bill, care about that sort of thing. We have forgotten that as a nation, force is often necessary to preserve our own lives. No one wants to go to war, but if you don't defend yourself then you WILL be killed. We as a nation are losing our will to win. We have become a nation who thinks that "equal results" not "equal opportunity" is more important. We have become a nation who doesn't want anyone to "feel bad" or lose. Well, guess what kids, someone always loses and I don't want to be the one! I don't want to fall under the command of a foreign government who doesn't care about the American way of life. People hate us, yet here we are, all over the globe when trouble hits; eathquakes, famine, flood, injustice, etc. There's America, handing out our hard-earned money to the very people who hate us, and guess what??? They are standing there with their hands wide open to receive our money from the very people they hate. Yeah. We're horrible American's all right. Oh, back to my original point.... If Hillary becomes president, our military will be an after-thought. She conveniently distances herself during this campaign from the war, refering it to "Bush's war" yet, leaving out the hard, cold fact that she, herself, voted to go to war. So in effect, ladies and gentlemen, it's HER war too!! She will surround herself with like-minded people who feel that since everyone wins and no one loses, we can't use the military the way we need to.

Dumbocrats I love it, how can we lose when we are so witty? I also really like how you're distorting facts by saying that someone who never served in the military can't be president. Lets go with that and pretend it's true and then yell at people who don't believe us and call them unamerian communists, You know the old republican trick #3

Sorry, I didn't get the memo saying military service was the only piece of info I needed to make an informed voting decision.

Thanks for saving me a lot of time on research!

I thought that if an individual was elected President thay were made CIC automatically.

Also, in my book there is a big difference between never serving and avoiding combat...That applies to GW and Bill.

So if none of the candidates have combat experience, why single out the woman?

you got it wrong Hilliary was in charge of Somalia, that is how she rules, if it dont work get out and make America look bad. Bill destroyed the military in 93. First year in office he cut military personal and cut training our pilots. Our pilots trained in simulators instead of actual planes therefore Somalia happened. THanks clinton Democrates

If Hillary sends our troops to war, then she better not be sending them based on lies! If she does, I'd want her impeached too!

She never went AWOL during time of war either
I suppose that TOO would dis-qualify her in the minds of republicans
