(Editor's note: What follows is a letter from the Republican National Committee to the Federal Election Commission, responding to the Kerry campaign's FEC complaint. As CNSNews.com reported on Friday, the Kerry campaign complained that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth was illegally coordinating with the Bush-Cheney campaign.)
The Honorable Bradley Smith
Chairman
Federal Election Commission
999 E Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C.
Dear Commissioner Smith:
The Commission is about to receive a frivolous complaint from Kerry-Edwards 2004, Inc. baselessly alleging illegal coordination between Bush-Cheney '04 Inc. and a group called Swiftboat Veterans for Truth. This complaint should be promptly dismissed since, as the attached verified transcript demonstrates, Mr. Kerry's own spokesman, Tad Devine, could not present even one piece of hard evidence to back up the Kerry campaign's allegations.
Sadly, the Kerry campaign is misusing the Federal Election Commission's process to distract attention and gain free publicity concerning charges for which it publicly admits it has no evidence.
The Bush-Cheney campaign flatly denies any coordination with Swiftboat Veterans for Truth. 11 C.F.R. 109.21. Furthermore, Mr. Devine's own performance demonstrates that the Kerry-Edwards campaign also has no evidence of illegal coordination. The Commission should act pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 437g(a)(1) and dismiss this complaint immediately.
As the attached CNN Inside Politics verified transcript shows, Kerry campaign spokesman Mr. Devine is basing his charges solely on a newspaper article, "...it's in the New York Times today." However, not even this newspaper article presents evidence of "coordination." What has been reported are the Kerry campaign's unsubstantiated charges along with the explicit denial from the Bush-Cheney campaign. In fact, after inquiring about the alleged coordination reported in the New York Times story referred to by Mr. Devine, Wolf Blitzer, based on an earlier interview with a reporter who wrote the New York Times story, corrected Devine by stating, "They don't have any hard evidence backing it up." This complaint is based on nothing more than the Kerry campaign's false accusations, having them reported in the media, and then the Kerry campaign referring to the published false accusations as proof.
As you know, the statute, 2 U.S.C. 437g(a)(1), states that any complaint filed with the Commission must be signed and notarized and made under "pain of perjury and subject to the provisions of section 1001 of title 18." The Commission must deal with this complaint in an appropriate matter.
Respectfully,
Thomas J. Josefiak
General Counsel

I would bet that she does not have the appeal that all the kool-aid drinkers think. I have said it before. America is not ready for a bisexual president.
WOW
I hope you both know that I was attempting to be very sarcastic! "Earning" a purple heart (or whatever it was) via a buttock wound (with rice, for crying out loud!) is just hilarious to me!
Ah, butt it is, butt it is...

Thanks for the ping.
With any luck maybe Kerry and Co. will be in the klink by election time.
I think the penalty is about the same for filing a false insurance claim. It depends who presses the issue.
