What are they going to do with $6.7 Million. Kerry's dead.

[tioga]

I am a proud contributor. :-)

[Grig]

You can get your own strong Republican ties here. :-)

I like the pattern on the Republican Convention Tie myself

[counterpunch]

I hope the Swift Vets do a final national push in the last weeks of the campaign focusing on Kerry's public admission of war crimes.

The $6.7 mill indicates average Americans voting intentions.....it just keeps getting better.

A parade the guys never had? Just a thought.

[Tank-FL]

I gave .. Should have gave more

[Semper Paratus]

6.7 large! Look what they did with the first 1/2 mil.

[GrandmaPatriot]

I heard they were going to bring out the POW & MIA families. When will they do that? That should be the spike in the heart for sKerry.

"Conservative group"? Swiftvets ought to be demanding a retraction. Not all the vets are conservative, many are democrats in voting record including John O'Neil - who incidentally voted for Gore in 2000 and stated he would vote for John Edwards if he were the primary candidate.

Buying a bagel in a bagel shop doesn't make you a bagel. Swiftvets from the beginning has said that this isn't about Bush vs. Kerry. This is PERSONNEL between John Kerry and the Vietnam Vets he slandered and lied about.

The media needs to stop "labeling", which in this case is potentially libelous.

$6.7 million from 53,000 donors works out to $126 per donor! How does it feel to be a fat cat?

[Asclepius]

Texas investor T. Boone Pickens, who recently donated $2 million to another Republican group that is running anti-Kerry ads, donated $500,000 and is the group's largest donor so far.

I loved that guy in Dr. Strangelove.

[Tanstaafl]

Good for them! Two of those contributions were from me.

[IceAge]

Since they seem to have plenty for now, I intend to send my next contribution to RNC, Victory 2004 to help the get-out-the-vote blitz.

[faithincowboys]

Ike really needs to be featured more prominently. Is Nixon on the tie??

[Mike Fieschko]

I loved that guy in Dr. Strangelove.

And Bush as Major Kong in 'This Land' . . . priceless.

[Tail Gunner John]

should have gave more

Its easier the second time.
