No Mike, I am not saying Bush is a coward. What I'm saying is he was doing the same damn thing as Kerry was... Looking out for his own political future. To cruicify Kerry and give Bush a pass for doing the same thing is hypocritical.

I think you are wrong. Bush was hardly looking out for his political future - he was just looking to avoid the war. No one in the Bush family thought George would go into politics. He was the frat boy, party-harty goof-off of the family. They always had their hopes pinned on Jeb. W did nothing early in his life to lay down a framework for political office. This is one reason I like him.
I dislike people who plan each step of their life based on what will give them more political power. These are the people who are scary. Does not matter what party they are in, because they only care about power for sake of power.
Kerry is like this - He has never had a real job, he has always been on the gov't payroll.... Same thing with Clinton. The man never had a real job in his life....
I prefer my politicians to have had a life before politics, I want them to be doctors, or businessmen, minsiters, or whatever.... I think it is important for politicans to haev to operate in real world as a normal civilian. Professional politicians should be looked down upon!
