The Swift Boat Veterans gather to assess their impact on the campaign.

BOCA RATON, Fla.--"The last mission of Vietnam War veterans ended on Nov. 3, at 2:08 p.m. Eastern Time, when John Kerry conceded the presidential race to George W. Bush," announced James Warner, a lawyer who was a Marine pilot in Vietnam and spent five years and five months in Hanoi as a prisoner of war. On Saturday night, Mr. Warner gave a "debriefing" on the role that two controversial groups of veterans played in raising doubts about John Kerry's fitness to serve as commander in chief. His audience consisted of attendees at Restoration Weekend, an annual gathering of political activists organized by David Horowitz, a former left-wing radical who fought to undermine the Vietnam War effort as an editor of Ramparts magazine, but who has now changed sides and become a leading conservative writer.

The man's family was super rich. He had no need for the G.I. Bill.

Why would sKerry use the GI bill? His family was wealthy enough to send him to Switzerland for school; surely he wouldn't sponge off the government. Well, yes he would. He hasn't minded sponging off the good people of Mass for 20 years of nothing.

Can we sue the voters of Mass for dereliction of duty by keeping these two worthless Senators in office. Aiding and abetting the attempted downfall of the Republic?

I seem to remember that the family money was just about gone, thus the need to marry rich women.
