So, what’s their point?

[Osage Orange]

I see the RVSD Press Enterprise...hasn’t changed.

” Perry, a major Republican donor, contributed nearly $4.5 million to the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that made unsubstantiated but damaging attacks on Kerry three years ago.”

Unsubstantiated?? What a load of dung.

“It comes across as a power grab,” said Republican analyst Allan Hoffenblum, who predicted the proposal would likely fail in the Democratic-leaning state. Even Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger offered a lukewarm assessment of the idea.

It is a way of not just giving the store to one candidate come election day and disenfranchising large numbers of folks, regardless their party affiliation or vote cast.

Fair? an attempt to be..
Power grab? Funny how the Rinos and Dems squeal the loudest..

The MSM just can't stop lying.

[NormsRevenge]

The media sticks to what it thinks it does best,, lie and run interference for the lefties.

[Artemis Webb]

Tell me about Riverside Press Enterprise please. I’ve never heard of them.

[Williams]

Incredible. Is it “unsubstantiated” that Kerry met with the North Vietnamese communists in Paris while we were at war with them, and when he opposed the policy of the US government? Conversations, BTW which he has never revealed, because OBVIOUSLY he supported the enemy and opposed his own country. He should never have been a presidential candidate.

“I WILL NOT STAND FOR THE SWIFTBOATING OF THE SWIFT BOATERS!!!”

Next!

Backer of Swift Boat ads has tie to law firm pushing vote change...........

And Hillary's main fundraiser (Tsu) has ties to the Chicom missle program thru an association with Bernard Schwartz (Loral), who gave away the farm to the Chicoms.

[RC2]

If Kerry would disclose his military record, he may have stopped the Swift Boat claims. But since he will not do this, the claims must be true. Thank God this idiot was not elected President. I truly hope that California changes the voting process. As it stands now, San Francisco and Los Angeles, because of their numbers, control everything in our voting process.

[NormsRevenge]

To be fair, this piece was not written by the Press Enterprise, it is an AP piece off the ap wire.

[Bob J]

What are you going to do about it?

[Osage Orange]

When I lived in RVSD....the Press Enterprise was a decidedly SocialistLiberalLeftist rag.

I see it hasn't changed much...

[rockrr]

Exactly. They were 'damaging' because they were so easily substantiated...

[NormsRevenge]

Oh, so we're trying to turn this into a Hillary& Norman Hsu bashing thread are we 8-?

OK. :-]

[weegee]

Guilt by association. And it is okay for the Rat funded machine to drag the Swiftboat Veterans’ names through the mud but the charges that the Vets raised were never disproven.

Zogbyism at its worst.

That’s pretty much true of almost every rag in the state these days. ;-)

Kerry later admitted he lied (to Congress) about war crimes in Vietnam. He was a traitor and unable to serve as President.
