Next up. Kerry's 19 year liberal Senate voting record.
Ad just played on FOX in a Major Garret report!
WOW is right. Hey, John McCain, where are you now? Still protecting your mate from the Senators' Club?
If that doesn't leave a friggin "mark" I don't know what will.
Well Johnny boy you say bring it on, there you have it; lucky guy got just what you asked for (better put some ice on that).
The following list contains the names of the top 2004 Individual Contributors. I checked every one and only Carl Lindner and Paul Singer contribute to Republicans and the much maligned Bob Perry did not even make the list.
The links do not work, but you can get all the information here:

Very powerful ad on the heels of their first ad. The Swifties clearly couldn't care less about the political results of their coming forward. They know this is their chance...finally... to tell the world the truth about John Kerry.
Does anyone have the text for this? I've tried three times to listen to this ad and my computer freezes up each time. You're all raving about it and I want to know what it says!!! Maybe Rush will play it today...
All Freepers check out the new swift boat ad.
If this doesn't move you, I'm questioning your patriotism.

(1) These POWs are just the ones who survived the torture. The ones who didn't are on the wall.
(2). If Kerry had had his way, and our troops had been withdrawn BEFORE the POWs were released, then none of them would have returned alive. That includes McCain.
After viewing this ad, there is only one thing to say....
To have POW's come in and savage Kerry after McCain's half-hearted attempt at a rescue is devastating.
John O'Neill is a genius. He has done more to devastate Kerry's support among independents and Veterans with two, cheaply-produced ads than Michael Moore has done against Bush with a six million dollar budget and a hundred million dollar take that the boxoffice.
Slam dunk!
Be Seeing You,
Chris
Oh. My.
That might be the deadliest political ad since LBJ teed off on Goldwater. It's brutal, and absolutely unanswerable. Nobody can claim it's deceptive or dishonest. How do you come back at something like this? I'm stunned.
I'm a staunch Bush supporter, but I gotta say...after seeing this ad, I genuinely feel sorry for Kerry. I don't mean his candidacy is doomed; probably not. I just think of the humiliation that such an ad would lay on a person, and the fact that he can't really say much in response, except maybe to splutter about GOP dirty tricks. In his heart of hearts, he's gotta know that he's been well and truly nailed, and he's got to look in a mirror for the rest of his life and think about what these brave men think of him. The shame of it, for most people, would be agonizing. I don't think I could face my friends or family if such things were said about me--and they were true.
John Kerry must never ever make it to the white house and be commander and chief. It would be the most insane and horendous injustice ever perpetrated against all veterans and everyone that puts on the uniform. How could the people of his state ever elect him to any public office?
That's gonna leave a mark.
I'm sending these guys some more money. This ad is fantastic.
That'll leave a mark.
And McCain?
DOWN GOES KERRY. DOWN GOES KERRY.
That's gonna raise a bruise and a welt.
Excellent. Fantastic. Reporting for Duty. Bring it on.
