The Swift Boat Vets saved us from Kerry. Hopefully there will be some who will shout the truth from the rooftops this coming election about whichever Dem is running. I absolutely believe that no Dem could win anything if the truth is told about them. And the Republicans need to get over their need to be perceived as nice guys. We know we’re nice and good, too. The MSM will never let Conservatives be known as the good guys.

The Swift Boat Vets saved us from Kerry. . .

True. . .and others helped as well. Think our Leadership; inluding President Bush; imagine, these 'others' will do it ALL for them. But how much should one expect from the 'grace' of others. . .

EvenRush offered after last election; he was tired of carrying water for Repubs who will not carry their own load. . .or something to that effect. And he is right. Am personally sick of the 'silence' and now many in Party colluding with Demrats.

All told; not a great story here; and with little to offer for a 'happy ending'.

Meantime, thanks to the usual determinedly strident, misleading. . .and truth-destroying voices of the Dem 'mythmakers'. . .'swiftboating' has been added to our American lexicon of political speech. . .meaning to 'savage; lie and destroy' a political opponent - or more kindly. ..an 'ad hominem attack' to bring down a political opponent; a 'viral attack' based on sensationalized rumor, innuendo. And/or. . .more frickin 'somesuch'.
