The (Swift boat vets for) Truth will set us free.

Most politicians disgust me, no matter their party. They get to Washington, become members of the Ruling Class, and remaining a member becomes their #1 priority at all times in all matters. For that reason, I rarely donate to political candidates.

I did, however, just donate to the Swift Vets and I encourage everyone who can to do so. This issue has turned into something far more important than this presidential election. This is the first movement I've EVER seen that is actually having some success at circumventing the Protective Net the media keep around liberals at all costs.

This issue is now about TRUTH. The liberal media have ALWAYS suppressed it in the past. Make no mistake about it: The media ARE our #1 practical enemy, the single element of our society that most enables the evil of liberalism to daily strengthen its stranglehold on our nation. The Swift Vet campaign is the first thing EVER to seriously challenge it, and we all need to support it. It's not a donation for a politician. It's a donation for a glimmer of hope in the quest for TRUTH.

Agreed. The media is throwing the game, in the fashion of the referees in the US/USSR basketball game all those years ago. No one, even Kerry supporters, that I talk to, thinks the media is fair, professional, or anything relatively close to being objective. And that is saying something, especially for the Kerrorists.

The problem is, once they lose us, they lose us for good. A reputation, once lost, is extremely difficult to regain.

Great post Missman. The swiftvets do represent everything that is good and righteous about our country. What I like is that they are not easily intimidated. One after another that rat leadership have come after them using every dirty trick they can pull from tryng to ban the book to banning the ads and for the most part they laugh at any purported intimidation that doesn't' threaten their life. These guys are the real thing and we should support them. I hope their book is # 1 tomorrow.

I have the exact same feeling. If Kerry wins, but America can confront the reality that the media's "hero" protestors were not only not heroic, they hurt real heros, then it will all be worth it. The odds are daunting, I've never seen the media goose step to a singleminded purpose like they are now, but that just makes it more worth it!

This issue is now about TRUTH. The liberal media have ALWAYS suppressed it in the past.

They've been doing it since 1971, and are directly responsible for our loss of South Vietnam and the genocide of 2-3 million South Vietnames.

The media ARE our #1 practical enemy, the single element of our society that most enables the evil of liberalism to daily strengthen its stranglehold on our nation

That's not an overstatement, more and more I'm seeing "campaign finance reform" as being a huge part of that.. The Swift Vet campaign is the first thing EVER to seriously challenge it, and we all need to support it.

Its true, I've already given more to them than I ever did to any politician, and I'm going to give again. These guys aren't the first to challenge, but a part of me fears they may be the last. I pray to God they get through to Americans.
