well, I for one regret the media's take.
I live in WV.
I am a Nam vet.
I won't be voting for Kerry.
I haven't seen the ads. Except at the Swifties website.

Just a different voice.

[TNCMAXQ]

These 4 guys are not representative of vets at large I guess. Didnt a recent poll show GWB's margin among vets growing from something like 6 points to 18 points?? Sounds good to me.

[Montfort]

Sure. Maybe if the crats believe their own lies, they will assume they have WV sewn up, and not work hard there.

Crats have lost before because they believed their own lies. Go ahead and do it again.

Even when presented with facts from military records, Ken Walker remained steadfast in opposing Kerry.

Did the media present the anti-Bush people with facts from military records (to wit, that the AWOL charge is a RAT smear) to prove their point?

[OpusatFR]

This is bull. The Eastern Panhandle is solidly Bush country.

OK, whatever...

"In 1972 he left Texas to work on a political campaign in Alabama, but there's no record that he reported for National Guard duty".

We have 8 witnesses, log sheets, medical records, and pay stubs proving that the President served HONORABLY in Alabama. This is an outright LIE! I HATE the MSM... I mean deep seething hatred of their EVIL embodiment!!!

I just made my third $250.00 donation to the Swifties!!! Keep it up JERKS (MSM)!

No ma'am, it is NOT hard to tell the truth from the lies.

[trebb]

Man, I hope the Kerry campaign doesn't find out about this - they'll be screaming for the Swifty's free speech rights to be recognized...

[shield]

Yep...total bullsh*t.

[Guillermo]

That's why Kerry filed suit with the FEC and is threatening to sue TV stations who play the ads, and threatened the publisher of the book.

All because the ads are backfiring. LOL!

[hattend]

Statistically speaking, it's impossible to find only people who are offended by these ads and switched from voting Bush to Kerry.

Where is the other side of the story?

Nah, no bias at all.

A Knight Ridder investigation of military records, medal citations, after-action reports and the records of at least one accuser found that the documentary evidence supports Kerry...Yeah, like some reporter who isn't even smart enough to know that Kerry didn't spend Christmas in Cambodia, ran away from an attack scene while the rest of the flotilla stayed to help their injured buddies, and put himself in for his first PH after the treating physician and his immediate commander told him to forget about it - like somebody that dumb would be able to put together a logical, balanced story which would tell what was really going on......
