Others individuals involved, identified only by name and state of residence, include Georgia's Rich Boggs; Jason Brooms and Clyde Prestowitz of Washington, D.C.; Kentucky's Owsley and Christina Brown, Marshall Field of Illinois, New York's Rita Hauser, and George Hume of California.

The Dems are just trying to out do the announcements from Koch and Miller by coming up with some big names of their own.

Swift Boat Veterans Cause a Kerry Media Blackout

The ‘Swift Boat Veterans for Truth’ have virtually derailed John Kerry’s campaign. Several accounts have Kerry dodging the press corps and on Tuesday night, his first interview since this story broke was a literal joke—on Comedy Central. Kerry seems clueless as to how to answer these serious charges, and incredible revelations that are growing by the day.

From Editor & Publisher

Some of the reporters covering Kerry said that the candidate had become less accessible on the campaign plane in recent weeks, with a few speculating that it might be because he did not want to face questions about the swift boat issue.

Continuing

Kerry appears to have grown more wary of reporters due to this issue. "He did not come to the back of the plane," Broder said about Tuesday's flight from Boston to New York. "He had been much more accessible." Glen Johnson of The Boston Globe, also in the press travel pool, concurred, saying "that limits the options of what we can write about."

This small under funded 527 group of Viet Nam veterans have baffled the Kerry campaign. The talking point of calling them liars at every turn is failing miserably. With each passing rabid interview of Kerry spokespeople throwing the term liar around, Kerry loses credibility. It’s now showing up in the polls, and it’s tough to run a presidential campaign while ducking the media.

Don't matter.

sKerry is toast.

The only votes he's getting is the ones he's buying or the ones already paid for by the MSM, Soros, Moore and MacAwful.

The above article is just a shopping list.

The two are mutually exclusive. If you are for kerry, then you are a RINO, not a republican.

As I said on a previous announcement of this kind, it's in the fine tradition of "Turkeys for Thanksgiving".

Ok so maybe the Governator is going to vote for the Lib. Maybe Howard Stern is registered as Republican. Maybe, Thereza K. still has her elephant ear headband.

So where are they going with this meaningless story?

Doesn't change my mind to vote for K(ommie)erry

The Swifties are like David fighting the giant( millions of soft money from anti Americans ).

David took a ROCK and ROLLED the giant.

This was where rock and roll came from.
