1. Senator, let me get this straight: highlighting your voting record is an attack on your patriotism, but calling someone a draft dodger and questioning their service isn't?
2. Speaking of Vietnam, why are you so upset when people bring it up, I mean, after all, you are the one who brought it up?
3. Why is it that out of your entire squadron, only one other commander in your unit agrees with you?
4. Why is it that we are supposed to take the word of 14 men over that of 200 who served with you in Vietnam?
5. Speaking of Vietnam, who was President in 1968?
6. Well, since your seared memory must be faulty, let me tell you--it was Lyndon Johnson, not Richard Nixon. Question: if this part of your story is untrue and inaccurate, what else might be?
7. I mean, can we trust someone whose "seminal and turning point" in their life, which is "seared into my mind" (as you say) turns out to be factually inaccurate?
8. Last thing on the Cambodia issue: how could Nixon order you there when he wouldn't take the oath of office for another month? Huh?
9. Why would you name a treasured pet VC, after the enemy?
10. Why did we never hear of this dog until after you filled out a survey by the Humane Society?
11. Why haven't you filed Standard Form 180 for full disclosure of your military records?
12. Speaking of Vietnam and the VC, what were you doing in Paris talking to the enemy while your home nation was in the midst of a war with the North Vietnamese?
13. How can you rebut a convention speech you did not even listen to?
14. Would you mind telling us how you are going to add over 900 billion dollars in new spending, decrease the deficit, and NOT raise taxes on EVERYBODY?
15. By the way, what exactly is your plan for creating jobs other than simply saying you will create jobs?
16. Which is the easier question for you: Which way is the wind is blowing or what is your position on the war in Iraq?
17. OK, for the last time, which is it: Do you own SUVs, or does your family, and if so, what in the blue blazes is the difference? Wait, don't answer that...I know already. The difference is the audience you were addressing....
18. OK, two parter here:
a) If improving intelligence is so important to you, then why did you miss over 75% of the Intel Committee meetings? and b) if you are going to defend this by bringing up 'private meetings', then why won't you release those attendance records?
19. If you are so upset with the special interest groups like SBVT, then why don't you join President Bush in calling for the banning of ALL such groups, you know, like moveon.org, the Media Fund, and all the 85% of the groups which support you?
20. Lastly, sir....When are you going to fully explain how you can change your position on the war at least six times in 20 months: going from supporting the war, to defending the President in the primaries, to being the "anti-War" candidate (don't dispute that, I saw it on Chris Matthews, so it must be true!), to voting against the money to fund the troops, to saying how you wouldn't do anything differently given what we know, to now saying you would do everything differently? Why is it that the only consistency in your vision and platform is a lack of consistency?
Just asking....
