Bill Clinton BROKE the law. Chambliss did not. Chambliss got LEGAL deferrments, Clinton LIED to get one so that he would have time to illegally skip the Country , he even wrote the letter to his patsy to explain his motivation.

Double standard. Draft dodging is draft dodging.
Chambliss did NOT dodge the draft. He submitted and was accepted for LEGAL deferrments. That you claim otherwise is ignorant as hell. That you compare him to a man that OPENLY violated the law is also ignorant as hell. But par for the course from another " Moderate" that is far to the left.
ah, so Kerry was a draft dodger, before he joined the naval reserve?Right. So he legally dodged the draft. Justify it however you want. That dog don't hunt. Chambliss may not have went to Canada or England, but he doged nonetheless. He may have done so legally, but as far as I'm concerned, it is the same thing. I hold a grudge against Clinton and Chambliss alike.
As far as the bold part, I'm getting pretty tired of everyone on the right attacking everyone standing to the left of them. I'm am probably more conservative than you politcally. Just not socially.

yes, he got SEVERAL defermentsDid he get five deferments in order to never serve? No. He served.
yes, he got SEVERAL deferments
and when the last one was declined, he opted to join the reserves
i dont agree that getting a legal deferment is the same as dodging the draftThen he was an attempted draft dodger. What's the point? I like Kerry even less than I like Chambliss.
i dont agree that getting a legal deferment is the same as dodging the draft
is someone that got a medical deferment also a draft dodger?
i disagree, and i'm not changing eitherChambliss got one of those too. After he ran out of student deferments.
And no. A medical deferment is not draft dodging. However you are not going to change my mind on this. Chambliss dodged the draft, what he did to Cleland was despicable. That is my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
I never said I was outraged and have never demonstrated that feeling on the subject. I was dissapointed. I am over it. However, I do get the feeling that you are one those in my party that feels that the Republicans have a monopoly on patriotism. Sorry toots, but that isn't so.
You are right. Shame on me for finding hypocrisy appalling. Saxby Chambliss dodged the draft. As far as I am concerned that makes him ineligible for throwing the accusations that he is better equiped at handling the corporeal threat of terrorism any better than anyone else. Just as I feel that Clinton had zero ability in dealing with the military from day one due to this same fact. I don't want to play pity party, but the fact that Chambliss had to resort to the tactics that used, no matter how effective, tells me all I need to know about the man. Perhaps he is a good Republican. Good for him. That doesn't make his actions in that campaign any less hypocritical.
As for you high and mighty diatribe on my belittling of this nation's priorities, shove it in your ass. Don't for a second think you know me or what I find important. I will continue to hold my party members to a higher standard and I will cry foul when they step out of line. The GOP used to have the high ground. The religious right along with Rove and company have given it away with tactics just like this. I would like to get it back in my lifetime.

Let's just be brutally honest here. Anyone who is a Republican and did not volunteer to serve in the active military is a draft dodger. Anyone who is a Democrat is not a draft dodger, regardless of what he did, unless you put the leftist halfwit you're talking to directly on the spot and force him to answer up.
Bush was a draft dodger, not because he joined the NG, but because he spent his time in the desert getting drunk while his generation got blown up.Well, according to these retards, BUSH was a draft dodger because he joined the National Guard, so clearly anything other than eagerly volunteering to join the regular military qualifies as "draft dodging". I guess the reserves would fall into that category.
