White House Withdraws Nominee Fox - Gave to 2004 Anti-Kerry 'Swift Boat' Group
WASHINGTON (March 28) - President Bush on Wednesday withdrew the ambassadorial nomination of businessman Sam Fox after Democrats denounced Fox for giving money to a controversial conservative group that undermined Sen. John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.
Kerry, D-Mass., had criticized Fox because of a $50,000 contribution that Fox made in 2004 to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
Many Democrats blame the group for sinking Kerry's presidential hopes that year after it aired a series of controversial ads that impugned Kerry's military record in the Vietnam War.

Kerry grilled Fox about the Swift Boat contribution during the Feb. 27 hearing, asking him why he gave money to a group that was "smearing and spreading lies" and had been condemned by members of both political parties.
Yeh, smears and lies John, smears and lies. What a laughable bafoon.
This is a reminder for anyone here that believes the Left has forgotten the Swift Boat Veterans and how they helped Bush in his re-election. The people on the Left, Kerry and his co-horts, have been nearly methodical in their paying back (some in the courts) and public destruction of Bush supporters that took a stand against Kerry in 2004.

Sounds to me like the President has also forgotten. Didn't exactly go to the mat for the guy did he?
To: Registered
Unfortunately, the left has turned "swiftboating" into a pejorative, rather than what it is: telling the truth.

That needs to be repeated. Even Gore wasn't as Sore a Loserman as Kerry. What a disgrace to have someone like that in our Senate.

Has President Bush COMPLETELY lost his mind...or just his SPINE...??? Bush will go down in History as a failed President simply because he could not or would not defend himself or his positions.
I contributed to the Swift Boat Veterans and I am ready, willing and able to defend my position any time, anywhere to anybody.

Gutless. Absolutely gutless at the White House.

The problem is not that a $50k contribution was made. The problem is that when faced with ANY challenge lately, the Bush White House runs. I love POTUS but this lack of resolve reflects poorly on him and his administration.

I contributed about $150 ... without question it was money well spent. In fact it was the only political contribution I've made over the years that clearly brought about the desired result.

What the heck, I'll post the same comment here as on the other BDS thread:
Question to all those suffering from BDS convulsions (there are a number of you on this thread): which party controls the Senate? If you don't see where I'm going with this, I question your qualifications to opine on this issue.
