establish a headquarters in massachusetts, prevent his next senate re-election.
I am alone is sensing an anti-SBVT bias in this piece?
I disagree. I'm tired of industrial activism. They did their job. They did it well. I think its time for them to take a rest. Their views will have little relevance for most of the future challenges we face and contributing to the defeat of Kerry won't win them much grace on those fronts.
{Yeah, I know, we need to get rid of Uncle Teddy first, but...}
I get chillbumps when I think about what these men accomplished in 2004. And they thought their hero days were over.
Sabato said he plans to question LaCivita about suspected ties between the veterans group and the Bush campaign when LaCivita takes part in the seventh annual American Democracy Conference, Dec. 3 at the Hotel Washington. The conference is co-sponsored by The Hotline and the University of Virginias Center for Politics.
Try your best Larry!
I agree. I don't think being a veteran should make you immune from criticism, but a lot of vets have every right to believe that they still have some old scores to settle. And there should be no statute of limitations on the truth.
You are not alone.
Thanks Swiftees,

These guys deserve our thanks for doing a great job. That said, having saved the Republic, they should return home. We don't need yet another permanently ensconced lobbying group.
These vets have endured enough unjustified criticism for several lifetimes.
They served their country again but the debt to them can never be repaid.
Many went to their deaths never knowing that 'help was on the way'.
O'Neill and the Swiftees should sue Lawrence O'Donnell and MSNBC.
I hope the Swiftees will keep the pressure on the Traitor.
The Traitor should be run out of office. PERIOD!

I think I have to agree. I'm very proud of the Swift Boat Veterans and thank them so much for not only for serving their country during Vietnam, but for serving it equally as well this past year without compensation.
However, I'm afraid that if they try to remain relevant, they will either look ambitious or like a group of malcontents. I would hate to see either of those play out.
Personally, I would like to see the group stay together, but not try to take to active of a role in politics, unless Kerry rears his ugly head again.
However, I can't say that I wouldn't love to see John O'Neill run for office. Anything available down in Texas for him? Attorney General perhaps? Or, better yet, if Senator Hutchison runs for Governor, perhaps he could be appointed to the Senate? Wouldn't you love to see floor debates between him and Kerry? lol
Yes, and we could certainly use them again if Kerry decides to run in 2008.
See Larry run....run, Larry, run....catch that bandwagon....
People wonder why Bush does not show his appreciation to the swifties...They must not realize that this group was not formed by Republicans to help Bush but to prevent this fraud,Kerry, from being CIC and President.
They must remain separate..They are a 527..Some people WANT to tie them to the campaign to discredit them..
God bless the swifties and all vets who helped keep Kerry from becoming President!
The POW fiasco would be the best project for them to tackle. I still believe that JFK left a lot of our boys in Vietnam to die when he shut down the investigation.
