Wuz. I want to offer my personal opinion for what it is worth. I think the swift vet movement is an answer to alot of peoples' prayers. It is my personal belief that enough repentence has been done in this nation, so that God has answered these prayers by raising up the swift vets and giving them the courage to be sucessful. I truely believe this to be true, things were looking mighty dark before you guys came along. But by the grace of God we will all prevail. Thank you each and every founder. You have my continued prayers.

The ads by the Swiftees are undoubtedly the most brilliant ads in political history. Look at the bang for the buck,you know why? The truth is a powerful thing it still manages to get out no matter what, And the Swiftees just told the TRUTH! Kerry is a traitor and deserves much more than he is getting. But take pride in what you have done. You have helped to set this traitor on a path of at least political ruin and saved your country from him. A Kerry presidency would be disastrous, He may not get what he deserves but you have educated many people and I deeply thank you for that, At least he wont be president

Hey Wuzthere2, they liked the Sink Kerry Swiftly draft bumper sticker in Ft Lauderdale. I think you'll be seeing a few around there when they get produced.

hey y'all,
McCain /Bush will just fix it so the donations are limited and they have to show where the money came from.... so we would know if Jane Fonda or Hillary were contributing....
there is no Bush 527. you'll notice while there are several 527's agiainst Bush, there is only 1 against Kerry (the vets) and the [Democrats] blame Bush for.it.... the only thing the swiftvets have come out against Kerry for is related to Vietnam and his military record - if it were just republican people against Kerry it would have been much easier and more provable to attack his senate lack of record.

Bush really can't come out and tell the swiftvets to stop (and why should he do what Kerry says?).... that would be the President of the US tellling a group they don't have 1st ammendment rights.... and (as one attorney said on tv) if for some reason the swiftvets stopped, the [Democrats] would use that to say it really was a BUsh group. either way the [Democrats] would use it against Bush.... I am amazed again at how Bush just stays quiet and lets the [Democrats] rant and rave.... Kerry looked like one of my kids (yrs ago) throwing a tantrum.... I expected him to stomp his foot at any moment (the day he went on tv yelling it was a Bush smear campaign); Bush did that after the 2000 election - just stayed out of the press and quiet while gore ranted and raved.... the dems do that so well!

Moderator note: Please refrain from derogatory names towards either Political party. SBVT have supporters from all parties and all walks of life. This is not a Political cause, it's a deeply held personal conviction encompassing people of all parties.

Thank you.

This is my first post. Thanks from someone who was repulsed by the anti-war movement during the Viet Nam war and who is delighted to finally see the worm turn on one of that phoney movement's leaders. The wheels of justice do indeed grind slowly.
Kerry's and Bush's attack on 537 groups is even more tactically brilliant than one might think. Early in the '04 campaign the GOP asked the FEC to rein in Move-On.org and all the other left-wing groups because they were expressly violating McCain-Feingold limits on the size of contributions.
The FEC wimped out.
Now that the Bush-haters are responding like vampires caught in the sunlight cast by the SBVT, they don't like McCain Feingold.
I heard McCain suggest tonight that he and Bush were going to sue to get the FEC to enforce the law. Conveniently, if the law were enforced, SBVT would come out fine because of its huge base of small financial supporters. Soros and company would be stopped in their tracks.

Hey Swiftees and fellow Vets. Don't be discouraged by Mccain and Bush not openly supporting the Swift Vets. Like others have said, if they were to do so, the liberal media would instantly turn John Kerry into more of a martyr than he has already made himself out to be. Insteresting that a man who is a self proclaimed "war hero" and a wanna-be "tough commander-in-chief' is SUCH A CRY-BABY!! Anyway, just keep doing what you are doing... The Kerry campaign is so arrogant they think if they keep attacking the Swift Boat Vets, they will eventually marginalize the group. This time though, THEY MESSED WITH THE WRONG GUYS. the more Kerry and Dems talk about Vietnam, the WORSE they look, and the further Kerry falls in the polls. Not even his friends at the New York times and the rest of the liberal, pro-Kerry media can save him now.

McCain told Greta from ON The Record that the idea will be to have the 527s operate under the same donation constraints as PACs, political parties, and candidate organizations.

That is fair. Until that time McCain is probably upset that his campaign finance reform had such a huge loophole. 87% of this loophole cash has been used against Republicans 87%.

Don't worry guys. I am sure that underneath it all you are loved, loved by everyone who generally speaks against 527s.
