Remember our chat months ago about T. Boone Pickens?
He just dropped another huge pile of cash on the Swifties :-)
Way to go T. Boone. This man must be in a giving mood. He recently gave, Oklahoma State University over $30 Million to athletics, and to the school for education. He is alumni of Oklahoma State of course.
Where's this 'bombshell' ad we keep hearing about...
"They still have a ways to go before they catch up with Georgie Soros"
Won't matter. The majority of Soros money has been thrown into black holes of no value.
The swifties' ads have continuously cut to the bone.
I don't know. I hope there is one but I'm not counting on it.
Finally some good news :)
They've been really successful in exposing Kerry's VVAW activities in what the media has been attempted to hide. Political ads and a mail blitz-they're doing great for a little 527. Helps to have the truth on your side.
LOL -- you sound like a Mom who caught her daughter coming out of a motel room with her shirt inside out.
LOL
Yee Haw!
Say what?? How's that? Don't know how your coming up with a LOL moment like that.
Sorry if I clicked on your post to respond. Guess ya had to be there...in my mind.
LOL - sorry.
And a great big THANK YOU to these two fine Americans.
I live in a solidly red state and didn't get to see first hand what the swift vets did. In addition since I hadn't read Unfit for Command, I had not fully appreciated the treachery, lying and treason of you know who. Recently, however, I heard one of the Swift Vets insiders speak. We got to see the ads...amazing stuff.
We really can't thank these guys enough...each one of them, the guys who conceived the idea, the guys who tracked down all the vets, the guys who put together the media, the guys who did the big financial hits, the tens of milliosn who put in $100, the guys like Rush and Hannity who covered it, and the list goes on and on.
I am deeply moved by how successful this was. I am also reminded very soberly that we came fairly close to electing someone who is literally treasonous and who was dishonourably discharged from the navy. I can't believe this piece of debris has gotten this fair.
I also am reminded - yes I know we all "know" it to be true - that there was a literal black out of teh Swifties by the major newspapers and the networks. Kerry's treason was one of the top stories of the last 50 years and they refused to cover it. A free society MUST have independent newspapers and TV stations who are willing to simply investigate. However, in America the MSM is just a branch of the DNC. I know we "know" this...but it is NOT an exaggeration. If you stop back and think about it...it is incredible and terrifying.
Thank God that the swift boats went around the MSM and gave yet more life to the other media....so all hope is not lost, freedom will live on. But it is terrifying to think that such a large percentage of our population has bought into the lies and that the MSM has completely and utterly sold out.
I think the Swift Boats movement is one of the most significant political events of my lifetime. In a sense, it is perhaps even more important than the re-election of GWB. Time will tell.
