I've always believed that the "brothers" were paid for, but I've never seen any evidence of it. What evidence is there?
Is Gardner saying that he was approached by someone offering him large sums of money to support Kerry? If so, who was it?
If the others received $1 Million, surely the briber tried to bribe Garner, too.
It feels good to help someone who helped us so much over the past few months. Also, see this thread for Jim Robinson's endorsement of this fund-raising effort on behalf of great American Steve Gardner.

Steve Pietrzak, Millenniums President and owner, founded Millennium in 1991. After graduating from the University of Illinois in 1976, Steve spent 15 years establishing a career in the insurance industry gaining a wide range of experience including underwriting, marketing, sales and service management in the property and casualty field. Through his various experiences in the insurance industry, Steve saw that there was a need for value-added underwriting and technology services. In forming Millennium, Steve established the companys strategy of becoming the leading provider of value-added underwriting and business process services in the property and casualty industry. Millennium currently has worked with over 35 personal lines insurance companies, including eight of the top ten personal lines writers in the country.
Maybe it just me but...sniff!sniff! do I smell what may be a PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE connection here
Of all the hokum "religions" throughout all human history the one most zelaous and fanatical in persecution of heretics is the the Church of "Going Along to Get $ Along".
"...At least three of the Swiftees who campaigned with Kerry admitted to Steve they were bought and highly paid for by Democrat Operatives. They tried to encourage him to join them "It will be made worth your while Steve!"... No doubt the one who was able to get Steve on board with Kerry would have received another million bonus which would have been a Drop-in-The-Bucket to have a united SBV front for Kerry to win the election. What happened to him when he took his stand. Steve unjustly lost his job and was politically persecuted. The bosses and company owners who fired him readily admitted they were hard core partisan Democrats and Kerry supporters. Because Steve would not join Kerry, they fired him. The meetings he had with Kerry and others and the threats and other coercion he received..."
Another story that the media "buried"
Now, after the election, they tell the story.
Imagine how many points Bush would have won by
IF the media told this story BEFORE the election.
Myself, I don't even waste my time watching ANY network or cable news.
Now the main stream right wing media needs to tell the rest of the story.
Contact your current
senators and representatives
and main stream right wing media
and find out why Hanoi Kerry still is in the US Senate.
Demand that this traitor is removed from the US Senate now!
There is no need to impeach him.
He's in violation of the
US Constitution 14th Amendment Section 3
and violation of 18 USC 953
- Private correspondence with foreign governments
and UCMJ Section 904. ART. 104.
- Aiding the Enemy.
Don't be like the silent majority in the 60's and 70's
and turn your back on America and cave in to the anti war minority.
Speak up for America today!

Timeline of Hanoi Kerry
http://www.archive-news.net/Kerry/JK_timeline.html
"For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Jesus Christ, circa AD 30
There are some things money can't buy. Self respect and character come to mind. Gardner has those 2 qualities in spades, and we, the people of the US, are in his debt. First for serving our nation 35 years ago in SE Asia, and again for helping prevent the unmitigated disaster that a Kerry administration would have been.
But it is very disappointing that 8 other veterans chose to take money in exchange for their honor and self respect. I have to wonder if those men do not sometimes wake up in the middle of the night disgusted by the realization of what they have allowed themselves to become, i.e., bought and paid for liars.
I only hope that at least a few of them have enough decency left to now admit what they did, and publicly expose the fraudulent "war hero" Kerry and his billionaire backers for the despicable human debris they actually are.
BTTT!!!

UNREAL!
"I hope that some of you just saw Steve Gardner on Hannity & Colmes. Poor ole Alan. He did his best to discredit Steve by asking him repeatedly if "all of the band of brothers" supporting John Kerry's candidacy are "LIARS!" Steve is a MAN. He stood his ground. He kept answering Alan-The-Liberal-Flit, "Yes! They're all liars!"
===
Yes, I watched the program; and as usual would just love to give Alan a good slap.
Ping to anniegetyourgun - thought you'd like to see this.
Travis was one of the first if not the first Freeper to post that he felt the Swift Vets for Kerry had been bought off. I will not label that "Heinzed/Kerryed".
The major role he had in defeating Kerry He was the only SBV on Kerry's boat who could NOT be bought off by Kerry and Teresa - showing outstanding character and integrity. Sources tell me that Kerry's former shipmates who went "Kerry" were given as much as a million each in offshore accounts. Moveon.org could have easily paid that amount themselves, not to mention the vast amount of other resources Kerry has at his disposal.
"They figure "Hey, I don't care who wins - I got mine!" Its not the first time it has happened in history. Kerry himself long ago sold out whatever honor and integrity he had and was eager to do it... So did Clinton and Billary."

Typo of the day.
My wife and I received a nice "Thank You" letter from the Gardners. We were more than happy to contribute to the Gardners for Steve's brave (more than you can imagine) contribution to preventing the pathological liar, John Kerry, from becoming President. Thank God for Steve's sacrifice. God bless the Gardners.
