Swift Boat Vet supports Duncan Hunter Chad Groening OneNewsNow.com April 6, 2007

A Naval veteran who co-founded the group "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" says he will do whatever he can to help Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-California) become the next president of the United States.

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth became a household name during the last presidential campaign when it accused Democratic candidate John Kerry of being dishonest about his service in Vietnam. Many political pundits believe the Swift Boat vets helped defeat Kerry.

John O'Neill, a co-founder and member of the group, says in 2008 he is campaigning for another Vietnam veteran who is running for the Oval Office -- Representative Duncan Hunter.

"He is a Vietnam veteran who I can really be proud of," says O'Neill. "I'm really happy to be able to be for someone instead of just being against someone. I'm going to do everything I can to try and help him out." And so are many of the people in the Swift Boat Veterans group, he adds, clarifying that they are doing so as individuals and not on behalf of the group.

O'Neill says he recognizes that the California lawmaker is a long shot, but so were the Swift Boat vets when they organized to stop Kerry in 2004. "[T]he long-shot causes are always the causes most worth fighting for," he says. "That's what I believe in -- so I think he has a chance; and that's who I'm for."

Heroes supporting heroes!

This is a great endorsement. I’m thrilled to hear this. If every Hunter supporter talked to one person who doesn’t know him, we could turn him in to the top contender in a hurry. Just do it.

[Frwy]

Don’t be fooled. He is getting more and more air time and he can trump them all. FT hasn’t done much of anything since he entered the race. No difference since before he entered. We’ll see what he does tonight if Chrissy let’s him. Personally I’d rather hear what Hunter has to say.

Must be MSNBC/NBC with Chrissy Matthews running the show. I think 8: but it might be 9:00.

William Wallace: Ay, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom.



Vote like your country depends on it, because it does! Hunter is the only true conservative that will lead the country in what is good for America, not what is good for the GOP (can you say kennedy wing of the republican party?), and all of it's RINO's hung on the teat!

To the one's who cannot come up with anything more than some one with a clever avatar of someone beating an animal, or does not believe that Hunter can win, perhaps Sam Adams could clue you in !

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands that which feed you. May your chain be set lightly upon you and posterity forget ye were our countrymen."

“I’m really happy to be able to be for someone instead of just being against someone.”

What he said is the exact reason I’m voting for Duncan Hunter.

[Califreak]

I knew I could count on you to bump this thread! LOL!

[Califreak]

“Sorry. I didn’t do it intentionally. I just kept reading it wrong.”

Probably from sheer enthusiasm for our candidate. I can’t fault that!

My son is trying to recruit voters through students and staff at his middle school. Gotta love the boy!

The phrase “our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor” has been going through my head lately.

"Be an example to your men, in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well-mannered and teach your subordinates to do the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide."

"I know I haven't offered you much; sand, heat, scorpions- but we've shared them together. One more last push, and it is Cairo. And if we fail, ... well, we tried... together!"

-- Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel
