Bush and his governors records, drivers license record?

Where are George W. Bush's records of when he was governor? What about his Texas driving record before he became governor? Also where are all his military records? Why would these things be lost, hidden away or destroyed? I know what democrats will say and democrats please feel free to say it! But I really would love to know what republicans think about all these records not being available when the republicans are calling for Kerry's divorce record to be made available to the public. Do you think maybe Bush might be trying to hide something?

Didn't you know? The pentagon admitted to "accidently" destroying his records, and his records only. 20,000 of Kerry's files given out by the FBI and yet Bush might as well never existed untill 1999.

There's a humorous George W. Bush CV all over the Net - see it here

Someone drew up a rebuttal to it, but I keep coming up with File not Found, but it must be around somewhere.

What amazes me about this guy is that he can hide and destroy his records and people stilll vote for him. Do they really think that all of those records lost and hidden and destroyed mean nothing? Don't they for one second get a clue that people do these things trying to hide something in the records?

This is absolutely NOT true. His records were destroyed along with many other servicemen's records while trying to salvage them from microfilm that was very old.

And now, the proof:

www.nytimes.com...

and specifically this quote:

He went on: "In 1996 and 1997, DFAS engaged with limited success in a project to salvage deteriorating microfilm. During this process the microfilm payroll records of numerous service members were damaged, including from the first quarter of 1969 (Jan. 1 to March 31) and the third quarter of 1972 (July 1 to Sept. 30). President Bush's payroll records for these two quarters were among the records destroyed. Searches for backup paper copies of the missing records were unsuccessful."

Okay - the military records may be an "accident" regardless of how coincidental, now someone explain his being reissued a drivers license(#000000005) in 1995 making prior criminal records unavailable...

Look, I always thought that this stuff was a humorous misrepresentation. Much as I do feel that Bush the Younger has some personsl failings, I can't accept that these are facts. It's a ling article [humour?] which I'll paste in here, if the mods will allow this.

This is filed away in my extensive collection of humour, folks.

Well things are looking up with regards to some questions here. A box of documents has been found, & some of these pertain to Prez Bush's military records. Mind you, the Democrats are still saying that there's no new evidence.

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS" The Democratic National Committee called the "supposed discovery" of Bush's payroll records late on Friday -- on the eve of the Democratic National Convention -- "highly questionable." "If the Bush administration continues to search, maybe they'll find answers to the long list of unanswered questions that remain about George W. Bush's time in the Air National Guard. Bush's military records seem to show up as randomly as he did for duty," said DNC spokesman Jano Cabrera

Bush's military records have been found.

quote: "The documents released on Friday by the Pentagon included two faded computerized payroll sheets showing Bush was not paid during the latter part of 1972 and offer no evidence to place Bush in Alabama during the latter part of 1972."

The man was AWOL for over a month, I believe that merits DESERTION status.
