Let the SBV dispute Kerry's account with their book, but to keep hammering on this is going to cause nothing but trouble for republicans and Bush.
Only if the SBV have irrefutable POOF should they continue this push, otherwise get out of the eye of the campaign.
They have POOF. They were there. It's Kerry's word against all of the other 3 boat skippers. It would be 4 but he's dead. These guys also don't care about politics - they care about truth. Kerry has run his whole campaign on a house of cards that is crumbling down. Incredible. What an idiot.
What is it about this that makes you so afraid?
Kerry is tanking in the polls because of the Swift Boat Vets. God bless 'em!!! I sent them $250.
Your complaint is with the media. If the Bush campaign makes a bigger fire, people will look there, instead of here.
They've moved on from the 'enemy fire' discussion, unless the media brings it up. Their newest two commercials are about Kerry's trashing of the soldiers AFTER he came home. It looks like they are doing a progression of ads folloing a timeline from his actions in Vietnam, to his testimony before Congress. I hope they'll do one on his 'secret negotiations' with the North Vietnamese in Paris, then his using his new found fame, won on the backs of the vests he trashed, to get into politics. I believe it will round out the picture of a man who would do ANYTHING and hurt ANYONE to get what he wants. I dont' think folks will want that kind of man for President.
