""The SwiftVets ad must be pulled! We need the air time for our commercials about how intolerant Bush is, and how he's trampling our civil rights!""

LOL! And the Left thinks that the Patriot Act is restricting peoples' rights? HA! They should look at themselves.

Yeah, WABC and Realplayer....dang. I won't install RealPlayer...it screws up my computer.

If he is available on a station that streams on something other than RealPlayer, I'd probably be listening.

This has become the chief battleground of the election. All the other issues, flip-flops etc. of Kerry are unimportant now - if he wins this debate with the media help and saves his war-hero image, we are toast. We're putting all our eggs into this one basket when there are so many other winnable ways to beat Kerry soundly. Unwise I still say...

The election is months away. This is the battleground NOW. The only way he can save his war hero image is to rebut or silence the critics. He can't rebut them, and his attempts to silence them is fascist in nature.

As for other battlegrounds, that's the RNC task. In fact, on reflection, you'll notice that the professional politcos opine as you do, that the Swiftee ads are not where the campaign should be. Well, that kinda shoots a hole in the proposition that teh pros are in collusion with the Swiftees.

He's talking about his plane being shot down and being a POW for 7 years and how they tortured him

He says the VC use to play Kerry's speech over the loud speakers for the POW's to hear

Says the VC use to say to him how they had officers in the streets of NY to speak for the VC (Kerry and others)

He says John McCain is a good man but he strongly disagrees with McCain about wanting the Swiftboat Vets to stop their Ads

from AP
In a statement released to reporters, Kerry's campaign announced it had "filed a legal complaint against Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT) before the Federal Election Commission (news - web sites) (FEC) for violating the law with inaccurate ads that are illegally coordinated with the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign."

Yeah, I bet Kerry would also claim that when he was in Vietnam he bought eggs for 5 cents, sold them for 2 cents, and made a profit.

Crossing my fingers here.

I still worry about the 4-2 (at best) odds.

I'm thinking about starting a pool to see who will have a full public meltdown first. Kerry or McCain? LOL!

My only concern about this the FEC. It is supposed to be bipartisan, split equally between Deomcrats and Republicans. I seem to recall Clinton drug his feet on Republican appointments so the Democrats had a majority for a while. How do things stand now? I agree that there are only two explanations for this: (1) Kerry is insane. (2) Kerry thinks the fix in. I hope it s the first, but we've been burned before.

Bears repeating.
