Just to see something...without bringing in ANYTHING that has to do with kerry, I want your opinion on something.
What are your thoughts on why Bush didn't show up a single time to the national guard during his "year of service"?

RB read this so you can have clarification on those bogus charges that Kerry's campaign has tried to slander Bush with.

that has no validity...its a completely biased site. It's like reading an article supporting Kerry from MoveOn.Org. Just answer the question.

Go read his service records if you don't believe that. They are public. Try go reading John Kerry's records. Most of them are sealed.
The records do show that he showed up so your question on why he didn't show up to a single thing in a year is a bogus question. You need to get your facts straight.
The Kerry campaign is looking for a needle in the haystack to get Bush. Wow one person did not remember seing George Bush on the base in 1973. Hmm would you remember every person you saw somewhere 31 years earlier? Especially when the person wasn't even a regular person for that base. And you have to remember he was a regular guy then not the president. I highly doubt it.

CHRIST why can't we talk about something that actually applies to Kerry's current policy? I'm not gonna even bother reading this little partisan war, but I'd like to point out to people that 10 nobel laureated economists have given Kerry their support as to having a more sound economic plan for our countries future. Let's talk about that, huh?

Lawyer quits over Swift Boat affair
By Rodney Dalton, New York correspondent
August 27, 2004
A LAWYER who advised both the Bush campaign and the veterans group attacking John Kerry's military record resigned yesterday as the Swift Boat affair picked up momentum.
In a letter sent with "sadness", Benjamin Ginsberg told the President his "legal representations have become a distraction from the critical issues at hand in this election".
Mr Ginsberg, who played a role for the Bush team during the Florida recount in 2000, denied that his work for the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group was illegal, and said Kerry campaign lawyer Robert Bauer played a similar role for a pro-liberal group.
However, the Democrats seized on Mr Ginsberg's resignation as proof that the Bush re-election campaign was working in concert with the Vietnam veterans to "smear" Senator Kerry with advertisements accusing him of lying about his combat record.
Kerry-Edwards campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said the resignation of the Bush campaign's top lawyer "confirms the extent of those connections".

And Kerry did the same thing as Bush in regards to his medical records, as you can see below. I'm assuming you wont read it since you blindly follow bush, but its worth a shot.
From USA Today:
Questions about Bush's record predate the current campaign. The apparent gap in his Guard service first surfaced before the 2000 election, when The Boston Globe reported that Texas Guard commanders were unable to account for Bush's whereabouts from May 1972 to April 1973.
Bush has not said what he did in the Guard during that period. Aside from a statement by a former Alabama Air Guard officer who said he saw Bush report for duty there in the fall of 1972, the only evidence he was at Dannelly Air National Guard Base in Alabama was a record of a dental exam on Jan. 6, 1973, at the base.
Bush said in a TV interview in February that he would make all his military records available. That month, the White House released more than 400 pages of Bush military records, including some duplicates, and said the documents were a complete catalog of his personnel files.
But some documents still have not been made public. The White House did not release Bush's medical records from his Guard files but allowed a group of reporters who cover the White House to review them for 20 minutes. They found nothing unusual. Kerry released some of his military records earlier this year. He has also declined to release his complete medical records but showed them to reporters as Bush did.
Since February, the White House has banned all Guard and military commanders outside the Pentagon from commenting on Bush's records or service. Requests for information must go to the Pentagon's Freedom of Information Act office.
The Pentagon last week responded to a 4-month-old request from USA TODAY for additional records from Bush's files by sending another copy of documents that were released by the White House in February. The documents do not address the unexplained year in Bush's Guard service or his decision to stop flying.
