Are you sure Swifty O’Neill has endorsed anyone? He claims to be a Democrat and likes to keep his powder dry.
As for Thompson, with respect, I think he’d end up like Bob Dole, a kindly guy who is loved but does not have the umph to get over the finish line. John Glenn tied him knots in the hearing to see if China got too much missile technology from Clinton campaign contributors, etc.
Swift Boat Vet supports Duncan Hunter
One News Now
A Naval veteran who co-founded the group “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth” says he will do whatever he can to help Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-California) become the next president of the United States.
John O’Neill, a co-founder and member of the group, says in 2008 he is campaigning for another Vietnam veteran who is running for the Oval Office — Representative Duncan Hunter.
“He is a Vietnam veteran who I can really be proud of,” says O’Neill. “I’m really happy to be able to be for someone instead of just being against someone. I’m going to do everything I can to try and help him out.” And so are many of the people in the Swift Boat Veterans group, he adds, clarifying that they are doing so as individuals and not on behalf of the group.
O’Neill says he recognizes that the California lawmaker is a long shot, but so were the Swift Boat vets when they organized to stop Kerry in 2004. “The long-shot causes are always the causes most worth fighting for,” he says. “That’s what I believe in — so I think he has a chance; and that’s who I’m for.”
