As someone who has made a couple minor donations (the equivalent of two beers) to the Swift Boat Vets For Truth I am personally upset and offended when I hear the comments that the Swift Vets are just a small group of wealthy Republican Bush Supporters out of Texas. I am from New York, I am not a Bush Supporter ( www.peroutka2004.com ), but I AM a Kerry Hater, and I want the commercial on the air in every swing state 24 x 7 till the day after election day. I hereby give permission to the Swift Vets For Truth to post publically my name and donation amount $$ for all the world to see. Perhaps when the world sees a list, longer than Howard Deans of all the $2 to $20 to $200 donors they will see who the real Swift Boat Vets For Truth are. My Swift Boats were Fast Attack Submarines.

Well -- I gave the Swift Vets $50. Everytime I hear that they are funded by a Republican bigwig Republican --- makes me feel important -- then I am crused when they mention Texas and I realize that they aren't talking about me.

$100,000 donation --- umm that means the the Swift Vets have sold out their character, integrity, privacy for $500 each? Only someone who has not served in the military could be "bought" that cheaply --- Confused where is logic? where is reason?

I also am offended by it !

I have been a registered Independent as of the day I turned 18 which by the way was exactly 19 years ago today ( i'm 37 shhhhhhhhhh Cool don't tell anyone ). I have donated $25 Twice !! AND I'll do it again I SWEAR!! I will take out my credit card and shake it at the Democratic party yelling "I know how to use this... Don't MAKE me use this !!!)

I have always looked at both sides of the issues and voted for the person I thought was right for the job at the time.

One of my best friends called me last night in tears telling me how embarassed she is to be a registered Democrat right now. I hope they see what they have done to the people in there own party this election they should really be ashamed of themselves.

I'm offended as well! I'm a registered Democrat, who's always voted straight ticket, ever since I was old enough (including Gore Shocked Shocked Shocked ), who contributed $25. Notice, that I'm not going to think about changing my party affilitation till well after the election - I want to wait and see if the Democrats pull themselves back together before I give it a really serious thought.

Well, I am a Republican and a supporter of President Bush and proud of being both, and I won't apologize for contributing to the SwiftVets.

When George Soros and Michael Moore, and moveon and other communist front groups, including the current Democratic (sic) party, apologize for being agents of national destruction, then perhaps I'll consider doing so.

Keep making donations and ask friends and family members to donate also.

After the next 527 filing, the media will notice 20,000 donors.

I'm also a registered Independent, and I feel queasy about Kerry, too, but I honestly feel that way about most politicians these days. The question I have for the group is, and I believe SOLDIER asked something exactly like this earlier, if you're against Kerry in this Forum, does that then mean you're pro-Bush?

IIRC, the reply was an artful dodge along the lines of: "Some of us are, some of us aren't, but we're all against Kerry and his lies, etc." My question today is: "Are you largely funded by the Republican party or aren't you?" If so, I think you should be more open and honest about it.

I'm self employed and struggling but I found $25 to contribute.

Now I have a new goal.... To become a millionaire and live up to
the wealthy contributor accusation.
