"It's pure theater," Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., told FOX News on Wednesday of the letter being delivered by Cleland. "If someone makes an allegation about you, you answer with facts." But, Foley continued, Kerry has not done so, instead attacking others and not answering the questions posed in the swift boat ads.
"If he would just answer the questions raised by the swift boat characters, he would set to rest whatever the issue is," Foley added.

GREAT comment! More Congressmen and Senators need to stand up and say that. It's the truth!  |

| I was shocked. I was fully expecting to see the press falling all over itself to pander to Kerry against the swiftvets. Every question though slammed why he was doing this after Bush said "This ad. All 527's". This one definately backfired on the Kerry camp. I thought Cleland was going to bust a blood vessel. Score one for the Swifties and truth. |

What needs to be said is this: "Hey Kerry, don't you get it? This fight is between you and the Swiftees along with the millions who support them (like me). Bring it on."

Actually this sums it up:
| Quote: |
Jerry Patterson, the Texas state land commissioner and a U.S. Marine who served in 1972-73, greeted the duo and handed back to Cleland and Rassmann a letter for Kerry signed by Reps. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee; Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif., who spent 21 years in the Navy and Sam Johnson, R-Texas, who spent 28 years in the Air Force. Others who signed the letter are Robert O'Malley and James Fleming, who both received Medals of Honor for their service in the Marine Corps during Vietnam, retired Lt. Col. Richard Castle and Lt. Gen. Dave Palmer, a former superintendent at West Point. Officials said the two men were to be invited into the staff compound at the president's ranch and offered a discussion with Palmer and Patterson.
Patterson claims that Cleland refused to give him the Democrats' letter to Bush.
The letter from the president's supporters says Kerry can not claim to be a war hero while also claiming that he and his crewmates committed atrocities against the Vietnamese people. They also caution him against trying to silence his critics.
"You can't have it both ways. You can't build your convention and much of your campaign around your service in Vietnam, and then try to say that only those veterans who agree with you have a right to speak up. There is no double standard for our right to free speech. We all earned it."
