Steve Gardner was there with John Kerry. He was the forward gunner on Kerry's boat in Vietnam. He watched, worked with, and closely observed Kerry on a daily basis for a significant amount of time in the Combat Zone in Vietnam. Long enough to know the guy was a schmuck and slimeball. He was the one guy Kerry and his operatives could not buy off. Sorry, this is long... but those who are grateful for winning this pivotal election should read this.... Steve Gardner was virtually the only Swift Boat Sailor of Kerry's so-called "Band of Brothers" under Kerry's direct...

In a performance equal parts pep rally, revival meeting and comedy shtick, filmmaker Michael Moore told 4,000 political partisans in Eugene on Monday they must do everything they can to boot President George W. Bush from the White House. The president and his cohorts "are radicals out to undo our government, unfund it and tear up our Bill of Rights. That is their agenda - and we have to stop them," he said to rousing applause. Eugene was the 31st city in Moore's 60-city "Slacker Uprising" tour, a get-out-the-vote campaign in 20 battleground states that began in late September and...

I know that this is long, but I have done a bit of the research for you.

From ACORN to voter fraud to vandilism and violence to things you never...

(CNSNews.com) - No sooner had George Soros vanished from the media spotlight when another liberal billionaire stepped up to the microphone. Yesterday it was John Sperling's turn to offend Republicans by disparaging everything about the so-called red states. The 83-year-old Democrat and John Kerry supporter released his book, "The Great Divide: Retro vs. Metro America," which chronicles a winning strategy for Democrats, according to Sperling. Ignore conservative values, he advises, and return to the days of FDR's liberalism. Sperling, who unsuccessfully tried to clone his dog but had more luck with his pet cat, appeared on the U.S. political...

Bush's international policies, saying the U.S. war on terror had claimed more innocent lives than the September 11 attacks on the United States.

In addition to the Hollywood mega-elite, which since the death of Sam Goldwyn have opposed the GOP mainly for cultural reasons, billionaire businessmen have stepped forward calling for the defeat of Bush or his policies.

Democrat Kerry to mine California gold SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When John Kerry kicks off his multistate fund-raising tour in California next week, stars including Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio will add a celebrity buzz to a crowd already passionately committed to ousting President Bush in November.

"I've never seen a time when Democrats and many independents are more galvanized and interested...
