Think about the impact of the SwiftVets advertisement.
http://www.swiftvets.com/
To most of us it has a tremendous impact, but does it even have an impact on swing voters?
Good question. So I thought about it. Kerry has a couple of Vets that served with him touring along his side. Why should we not believe them instead?
Simple, very simple. Picture that you are retired and an ex-coworker asked you to tour the country gratis? Five star hotels, private jets, swimming pools and movie stars. Cool huh?
If you respected the person and thought him qualified you would probably be happy to join him.
However, rather than join him you mount a campaign that raised 1/2 million dollars and created an advertisement with numerous medal winners who knew him and are now stating that he is a liar and incompetent to be President.? These men stayed out of every Senatorial election even though they were invited by Kerry’s opponents. They say that this isn’t political, and that they don’t care about Massachusetts. They do care about America.
No free hotels or jet rides, just working in the grassroot trenches raising money to try to protect out country.
Who are you going to believe, Kerry's sellouts or the real deal with the resolve to continue to uphold their pledge concerning enemies foreign and domestic?
BTW, according to Rush 31 Congressional Medal of Honor winners have signed a document opposing Kerry. I don't have a link......yet.

Eaker, and all fellow Freepers,
HELP !!...I have been surfing the TV since 3:30pm yesterday, when I saw CNN Inside Politics with Judy Woodruff, conducting the first (that I saw on TV),Swift-Vet vs. the "graduate of the Mary Jo School of Swimming" SF Rassman(sp?)....(transcript was on cnn site,and the "Swift Vet" did quite well).
Well ....today,on cnn headline news, and on cnn,the news brief about the Swift-Vets,were mainly : McCain has DENOUNCED AND DISCREDITED the "Swift-Vets"
as "lying" and has asked Bush to tell them to stop.....
THEN , as an "add-on",QUICKLY threw in something like (and this ain't a quote, BUT IT IS CLOSE!!!!,):
"..and this is the same group who ran the ads against mccain in NC in 2000 prez primary that COST mccain his chance in the 2000 rep.primary.
Is this true????,,,and is this why mccain went TOTALLY
"NUCLEAR" so darn fast???...I haven't seen where mccain & kerry were on any "missions" together while they served, so why would mccain "go-off" on 250 vets who did???
geezz...Can anyone HELP ME FIND OUT who did the "ads" in 2000 against mccain in the North Carolina repub primary???
If someone could, I would be appreciate it.....Thanks!
