Here's the newest ad from the Swifties.
* Moderator note. For those using Firefox browser, you may need to use this link to see the ad
Kerry just wants to declare victory and moveon.
If that doesn't leave a friggin "mark" I don't know what will.
I just showed this ad to my law partner who is a Lt. Col. in the Army reserves (30 years service) and it literally brought tears to her eyes. And this is one tough cookie. She asked me to e-mail her the link so she could send it to all of her service and veteren friends. God Bless the Swift Boat Vets.
seeing how all Kerry ever talked about in the primaries was Vietnam, it's not a big suprise seeing what he did at his convention.

LOL! As an oatmeal-gummer sitting around in my Depends, I grant your wonderful description Honorary Taglinehood.
Kristol is doing an excellent job now on FOX.
They better throw in the towel.
The Swiftees wouldn't divulge where they were running them either. The ads will pop up, and team Kerry has to spend effort finding them, and dealing with them.
Sent a few bucks this week. Will probably do so again.
Krystol on Fox right now ripping the NYT article. Krystol is really supporting the Swifties! Go Bill go!
Also explaining that Rassmann's ad only discusses three days with Kerry; noting that Rassmann is an honorable man, but that he only has his own recollection of a single event.
Finally, he says Kerry's "Bring it On" to Bush is aimed at the wrong entity. This is not a fight between Bush and Kerry, but between Kerry and fellow vets.
Well Johnny boy you say bring it on, there you have it; lucky guy got just what you asked for (better put some ice on that).
Who would want to be Joe Lockhart today???
"Kerry will fall back on his "Unfortunate youthful over enthusiasm." " - I believe Kerry was either 28 or 29 when he got involved with the Jane Fonda crowd and testified at the hearings. Someone of that age is expected to be past the "youthful over enthusiasm" stage.
That and the fact that he NEVER apologized for the statements nor has he ever retracted them.
I have a feeling he will move beyond “youthful over-enthusiasm” in the next few days and do both. He has no choice now.
The following list contains the names of the top 2004 Individual Contributors. I checked every one and only Carl Lindner and Paul Singer contribute to Republicans and the much maligned Bob Perry did not even make the list.
The links do not work, but you can get all the information here:

Think about it, just when the NY times is about to put out their hit piece (on a Friday in true Dem fashion so nobody can counteract for three days) to bash the swifties they come out with a whole new ad in a whole new direction that becomes the new top story of the weekend. Theres now two torpedoes in the water not just one. Brilliant. I know there is no coordinatio between the President and this group but they really should think of replacing Rove with whoever is working for the swifties, just Brilliant.
If you haven't already done so, please make a donation to the Swift Vets so this powerful ad CAN be run in all 50 states.
