No - the Swifts are not supporters of the President.
There are Democrats, Independents, Greens and Constitutionalists among the Swifts.
They are united only in the attempt to tell the truth about John Kerry's actions during and following the Vietnam war. _________________ ~ Echo Juliet ~

Dont count on it. The cries from the left would be deafening. The Bush camp, even BEFORE the swifties started their ads, has made a point to criticize Kerry based on his career in the Senate and absolutely not touch his military service. They aren't about to change that now.
You do make a good point about playing the ads though....or even better, save the money and play the ads during the debates, when more "undecideds" are tuning in. _________________ ===============

But the Swift Vets aren't about Bush or the Republicans.
They are only about setting the record straight on their unit, which means - exposing John Kerry. Only that. From what I understand, many of the Swift Vets are Democrats and/or Independents, so an association with the RNC would not go over too well - as well as being the very illegal thing that the Kerry campaign is (falsely) accusing them of. |

It would be suicide for any Swifties to so much as attend the RNC, much less speak there. The Swifties absolutely have to stay away from anything that could be interpreted as supporting Bush. The farther away the RNC and the Swifties stay from each other, the better. |

Everyone,
NO. Absolutely not. If we were to show up for any GOP function or support any GOP candidate (even Bush), it would cheapen everything we are and stand for even it it were legal (which I am almost certain it would not be). _________________ -Polaris

Because Swift Vets for Truth is an independent organization, it should use the full power of its reach and support president Bush ! I mean you guys don't want John Kerry right ? I'm sure you guys don't want us voting for Nader ! Swift Boat Vets should endorse president Bush !
Or wait is that a violation of the election laws ? Darn stupid rules. This would have been a killer endorsement ! |

Democrats and Liberals alike want the Swifties to attend the GOP Convention... too bad the GOP and the Swifties aren't stupid. |

It truly is a sad thing that people are not looking at the evidence of what the Swiftys are saying, rather they (well, I guess the media) are only trying to scrutinize their political position.
It seems to me, that WHO CARES if they support Bush (and I know that they do not officially), but, honestly, what if BUSH HIMSELF knew some stuff and brought forth some evidence against Kerry? - I suppose Kerry and the liberal media would just say "oh, he's just a Bush supporter" ???
I mean, it is completely idiotic to say that someones argument is invalid simply because they are on the side of the people that support the argument. It's almost illogical. Am I missing something here? Why is the Kerry camp and the liberal media so concerned about who the Swiftys support for President? Kerry just seems to put forth the notion that we should assume all the allegations are false, so therefore, whoever is behind them is wrong, so maybe thats why hes making a big deal saying Bush is behind it, because in his mind Bush would be at fault (because in his mind, he would have us to automatically believe that the allegations are false).
HOWEVER, what if the allegations are TRUE? I would be interested to know what Kerry would say, if some journalist asked him a question like this,
"Sen. Kerry, you are saying that Bush is at fault for being behind this Swiftvet thing, and even that whoever behind it is wrong. Lets just say, for the sake of argument, that the allegations are true. Would the supporters of SwiftVets, Bush or no Bush, not then be justifiable in their bringing out of what they have said? Then wouldnt the only thing that they would be guilty of is revealing the truth to the American people? So, Sen. Kerry, doesnt the crux of this thing hang on whether or not the allegations are true? Isn't that the main issue? If they are false, then whoever is behind them are definitely in the wrong, and should be repremanded as such. But if they are true, then they are not in the wrong. So, Sen. Kerry, the one thing that you can do to stop this whole thing, and to show that whoever is behind the SwiftVets is in the wrong, is to Falsify every alligation that you find so offensive, then we will know that whoever is behind the SwiftVets is in the wrong. Then, and only then, will we know that what the SwiftVets are doing is wrong."
I wish someone would ask him this!!!!!!!!! _________________ www.KerryLied.com -Vietnam Vets For Truth

Let history record that Michael Moore-on went to the DNC. That speaks volumns.
SBVFT's agenda is to stop kerry from ascending to CiC status The RNC can get along next week with out the swifties stealing the lime light. _________________ kerry returned to the United States on July 22, 1971, held a press conference publicly calling on President Nixon... for the surrender of the United States to North Vietnam. |

I agree that Swifties should not go anywhere near NYC during the RNC. By the way, Michael Moore looked totally out of place in the Presidential Box at the DNC. _________________ Proud to serve! No medals required! |

In Matthews defense, I don't think he's ever even pretended to be anything other than a democrat.
I can't think of a worse idea than SBVFT having anything to do with the RNC. _________________ Talking point #1: Sign 180

But he did look in the right place sitting next to Jimmy "Castro" Carter. _________________ "And no pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often, than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry"

Yes I agree. The power of the swiftboat vets message is that it is a simple statement of truth, not a political endorsment.
While I do not think that GW should distance himself from you guys, I think it might be helpful for him to take this opportunity to focus the country on his senate voting record. The two messages compliment each other perfectly. He is anti-defence, anti-intel community, anti national security. _________________ <insert pithy signature here> |
