John O’Neill of Swift Boat Vets ~ Bump!

[cgk]

BUMP!

Without the Swift Vets we'd have President Kerry.

[blackie]

The Swift Boat Vets were instrumental in the reelection of President George W. Bush!

John O'Neill-he signed his book for me-PING!

[Bonaparte]

Thanks for the heads up, es. When I first heard about this latest round of lawsuits, I thought of the Swift Vets right away. Glad they've become involved.

Just sent my contribution to VVLF.

Kerry just couldn't leave it alone, could he?

[Bonaparte]

"But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each house, remove such diability."

I can see Kerry getting two-thirds in the Senate (which gagged the House Managers to save Clinton), but not in the House. This lawsuit could well be his Waterloo.

[editor-surveyor]

"This lawsuit could well be his Waterloo."

You could make my day (Month, year...) by explaining exactly how that might be so :o)

[Bonaparte]

As we know, the bone of contention in these suits is the content of Stolen Honor, which highlights Kerry's anti-American activities. So even though Kerry is using surrogates to go after these vets, questions concerning his past activities during the VN era will be relevant. Witnesses and documents can be subpoenaed and if Kerry found himself compelled to produce his full service record it wouldn't be the first time the ball took a funny bounce in a case like this. Kerry miscalculated before and he could do that again.

I think that you underestimate the power of a senator. I'd love to see that happen too, but the flow of evidence in court is totally controlled by the judge.

D*mn!   I like your STYLE, Bonaparte!!!
...and the issue of 'truth' I suppose (as in ...'is the best defense against'...) WOULD come up in any slander/libel suit, wouldn't it...??????

I'm IN, Bonaparte! ...Is it too late to get tickets for this thing???!!!

TONK - I think maybe Bonaparte's got the ANSWER you've been looking for all this time...!!!
...Tell your FRIENDS!!!

[Bonaparte]

"I think that you underestimate the power of a senator."

That's what they said to John O'Neill last year.

[Bonaparte]

We stood by the Swifties in 2004 and they delivered. I have every reason to believe these men will do so again.

[Seadog Bytes]

Bonaparte, Just so we're clear, that was not sarcasm in my last. If you are right, and I have every reason to believe you MAY WELL BE, I WOULD dearly love to have a ringside seat to the sheer SPECTACLE of the big DUfus being finally outed to EVERYONE, as the HUGE fraud he clearly is, via subpeona in a legal fight HE HIMSELF 'picked' with the Swift-Vets!!! (Yes, I contributed to them too, and I think they, if anyone, may well have been responsible for our salvation from having Kerry at 1600 Penn. Ave right now.)

So I DO hope you're right. The sheer IRONY of that happening is too delicious, to even contemplate.

My only fear, or reservation, in all of this, is that you may have failed to properly account for the 'teflon factor' (...wherein SOME people simply never have to pay the price for their transgressions, but instead get off with a mere wrist-slap, if that. Kennedy... Leahy... Byrd... Billary... Hill... Torricelli... Berger... to name a few examples , before even MENTIONING 'aid-and-comfort', and the 'T'-word in connection with Fonda and Kerry.)

Oh, I do SO hope YOU are right and I am wrong...

[Bonaparte]

Well, it's entirely possible that Kerry will go on being a Senator from Massachusetts for many years after this all blows over. And I've got to agree that it would be deliciously ironic if he got his head handed to him in a fight he didn't even need to start. Doubly so, since that's exactly how he lost the 2004 election (IMO) -- he made his service record, the weakest spot in his whole life, the center piece of his campaign. A man who does that has a blind spot and somehow I don't think he's learned from the experience.

RE: "A man who does that has a blind spot and somehow I don't think he's learned from the experience."

...and, after he (Kerry) did all that FOR us, what does that say about us, we who cannot seem to even' pull down the wounded ones?' That the 2004 election was as close as it was, speaks volumes to how far we, as a country, have fallen. Kerry may have been the exception which proves the below 'rule', but sadly, certainly not by much.
