Yes, NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN are bastions of conservatism.

Did they just talk to seniors? Nope. They spoke to all age groups, usually minorities (Mexicans, in my school's case). That's standard. Rich kids don't usually join up. I wonder why.

Pardon me, but I distinctly remember your saying that your high school was full of wealthy kids. They would be the ones who can afford college, and enter the service as officers if they so desire.
Ahh, here it is:

Sounds like the recruiters were crawling all over a high-income school. How could this be?

Documentation on what was withheld from the Senate?
The hatred of Bush that you evidence here, and elsewhere, appears irrational when you gloss over the fact that Democrats, including Kerry and Hillary Clinton, voted for the Iraq war. It appears more so when you try to convince us that information was withheld from those two.
Perhaps they didn't read what they were voting for. That would get them off the hook according to what filtherton said in another thread.
