So let's recap - Kerry and crew want Bush to "demand" that some 200 vets
to quit expressing their opinions (and opinions many have expressed long
prior, some since the 70s), and stop what the Kerry people call a
"smear" campaign. But so far, I've yet to see a single one of Kerry's
people, including the unfortunately-named Tad Devine, come out and say
"these vets are wrong, and here's why..." Oh, they've called them
"pawns," generically "liars," and worse (IOW, "smeared" them...), but
not a single "McAulif..er, "Kerry for President" (real, hired, and paid)
campaign official has refuted what they say with facts about Kerry's
service.

Of course, all the requests for Presidential demands does make one
wonder if Kerry and crew feel it's OK for Bush to "demand" that the vets
pull THEIR ads, will they feel the same way if Bush "demands" that
Moveon (or another 527) pull an ad that the Bush people don't like...

Lessee, Swiftboat vets, about $500,000.00 spent so far, Dem 527s,
$60,000,000.00 in about 6 months...as always, YMMV...

HTH,
R
....and among the interesting tidbits is that of the 20+ fellow officers
in Kerry's group, 2 are with Kerry and 17 are with the Swiftboat vets,
and Kerry is taking a beating with vets...you know, those guys who know
how the military works, rather than the Ken F's, the Lord-Mayors of
Ketchem, Jr., and the Sgt. Mittys, who haven't a ****ing clue...
