Eh. Now they'll just be another political group. They were probably the deciding factor this last election, but shilling for a cause as starkly political as SS reform weakens them considerably.
I agree---hope they aren't using money I donated to push agenda I may or may not support. I donated money to them to support their efforts to expose the War Hero Myth of John Kerry. They need to reorganize under another name and mission statement.
I agree!
since the entitlement has long been considered the "Fourth Rail" of American politics.
Carl must be a Lionel guy.
So what? They are no more experts on Social Security than Hollywood stars are about geopolitics. Who cares what they think about this subject?
And why should they all have the same opinion about it, anyway? I thought they were a diverse group -- some Republicans, some Democrats, some Liberals, some Conservatives -- who united over a common distaste for John Kerry. Who had to swallow his disagreement to make this inconsequential gesture of support for the President's Social Security proposal?
Maybe, unless the story is just a set of extrapolations from speculations based on exaggerations of ruminations.
Swift Boat Vets have credibility with me when they speak of John F. Kerry because they served with his sorry a$$. When they speak of Social Security reform, the term "Squid" keeps coming to mind.
Disappointed.
Yes, I agree- They should stay out of this as a group. If any as individuals want to get on board, fine.
This just makes them look like part of the Bush machine, and dilutes their credibility on the things that they are supposed to have been formed for.
While I support most of President Bush's Soc.Sec. reform plans, I wouldn't like to see any of the money I sent the Swifties for anti-kerry operations to be used to promote this agenda.... at least as long as kerry has any sort of existence in politics.
They were. But a number of the actual Swifties and POWs were not. As far as I know, the PR groups were generally known to be GOP. And as for the vets, they HAD been Dem. Zell Miller HAD been a Dem. What I'm still not sure that I understand is their loyalty to a party that calls them, essentially, the devil incarnate. Will they remain Dem? They probably want to reclaim their party. But the Dem don't deserve these guys. Don't know about the GOP. Have to see.
The article doesn't say the Swift Boat Vets are going to push for Pres. Bush's SS plan, but that a group that ADVISED the Swift Boat Vets are going to work on it. I don't think the Swift Boat Vets are involved at all, is the way I read the article.
Exactly, this just doesn't make any sense, they will lose all credibility.
Once again, I embarass myself by not having read carefully and not reading the whole article before jumping to conclusions. Sorry
Exactly right. They are no better than Hollywood liberals now.
"I don't think the Swift Boat Vets are involved at all, is the way I read the article."
bump
I hope that this is just an individual choice-among certain, select members-and not a widespread decision among the grassroots leadership.
Why would these advisors be using the "Swift Boat" tag as the flagship name of this political action committee?
Thanks for the ping!
