[gopwinsin04]

Tucker Carlson just said that CNN has been notified that the Kerry camp will seek to have the goverment pull the Swift Boat veterans for Truth ads.

[holden]

Kerry's being in Cambodia was seared--seared--in his memory.
It seems Kerry's not being in Cambodia will yet have to be seared into his memory, through his coming election humiliation.

[E.G.C.]

BTT!!!!!!!

I'm sure that they don't need me to tell them this, but the best thing the SBVT folks can do right now is hit Kerry harder than ever.

He is about to fall.

And, anybody who thinks Hillary will walk into this is an idiot. She'd be demolished by the same folks who have turned against Kerry (many of whom are the Hildebeast's core constituency).

[Peach]

What a perfect commercial! You need to market that idea...can you send it to the GOP?

[One4Indictment]

THE KERRY CAMPAIGN!!

[We Happy Few]

Imagine if Kerry's crowd starts starts controlling FCC licenses.

[Casloy]

It's like they are playing into Republican hands. What could be better than to see him trying to silence his critics?

"Let's put the fault where it properly belongs: GWB. He was the one who could have vetoed the bill. He tried to "back door" out of it via the SC, on the orders of that hack Karl Rove. He screwed up."

I'm not sure about what you say about Rove, but other than that you are 100% correct. This was arguably the worst thing Bush did as president, and in general his unwillingness (fear?) to use his veto power has not been a good thing.

And I don't like the administration just condemning "all" the 527 ads. Quite frankly I think that "all" these people have a right to participate in the current political debate. Why the heck not? If I've got $$$ and I do, or don't, want Bush, or Kerry, to be president why the heck can't I buy and ad on TV that expresses my views? Now, you can't libel people, you really can't, and I urge Mr. Kerry to bring an action in court if he can prove the Swiftie's charges are libelous. And I urge Bush to do the same, if he feels that way about any ads that have been run against him.

They are BOTH reaping what they sowed, I'm sure Kerry voted for CFR. And the very idea that any, or "all" people cannot participate in the American political debate, which both Kerry and Bush still seem to strongly believe, is very offensive to me.

[Manic_Episode]

At least Al Gore waited until AFTER the election to run sniveling for help.

[Xenalyte]

What's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?

Gee, I wonder if we can manage to scape up any connections between the Dems and the following orginizations (from opensecrets):

Joint Victory Campaign 2004 (Soros)
Media Fund (Soros)
America Coming Together (Soros)
Service Employees International Union (ask any govt worker if they are pressured to vote Democrat by their union rep)
American Federation of St/Cty/Mun. Employees (see above)
MoveOn.org (Soros)
New Democrat Network (C'mon, they have "Democrat" right in their name!)
AFL-CIO (hmmm, Have the Dems and the AFL-CIO ever coordinated their attacks?)
Voices for Working Families (AFL-CIO front group)
Democratic Legislative Campaign Cmte (There's that Dem word again)
Partnership for America's Families
Sierra Club
Progress for America (some lib director's front group)
America Votes (Soros)
Grassroots Democrats (C'mon now!)
Americans for Progress & Opportunity (Steve Bing front group)
Democratic Victory 2004

A PRESIDENT KERRY MAY BE ABHORRENT
...BUT IS IT EVEN CONSTITUTIONAL?

WHY JOHN KERRY IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA

[AndyJackson]

any connections between the Dems and the following orginizations (from opensecrets):

Well for instance there, Attorney Joseph Sandler is DNC General Counsel, counsel for MoveOn.org, and is working on behalf of Kerry's campaign. No connections there.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Why won't the Kerry campaign just release all his military records?

I wonder if anyone's filed a FOIA request for Kerry's military records?

[lowbridge]

The Kerry Campaign is demanding censorship?

GOVERNMENT censorship.

[GOPologist]

I can just picture Adolph H. taking a breather from Hell and saying, "Why wasn't that Skerrie guy here in May, 1945-he would have been a great Nazi!"

SEIG HEIL, Jon!!!

[pctech]

Here we go again, it's 2000 all over again. If you can't get your way the right way then sue sue sue till you do. There's no way the federal government will make them stop and there is no connection to the Bush/Cheney campaign. Just goes to show the desperation they are now feeling with people starting to pull away from him and not voting for him.

[pctech]

I've stored them so far and I'm sending them out to anyone and everyone I can think of.

[Tax Government]

The Republicans have plenty of good reason to ask MoveOn's ads be pulled. When Kerry asks for the same, it's payback in kind, but without any legal merit.

[Wampus SC]

It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making.
