It's time to call it a night, but I'm fed-up with people using the term "swiftboating" as a pejorative and refuse to let this pass.
For the record, merry10, please answer this question re: the Swiftboat Vets episode: "Who do you think was telling the truth, the Swiftboat Vets, or John Kerry?"
Even though we are not talking about the swiftboating of John Kerry, I still feel as though it’s an ugly, ugly tactic and the people I’ve met who know Duncan Hunter, for example, would not appreciate this. To answer your question, - I think there were parts of each party telling the truth. People take their perceptions and mold them into their versions of the truth. Back then, I bought the book.
I think that President Bush would have won anyway. He was by far the better (conservative) candidate, whose father has heaped praise on Rudy, and I’m glad he won.
