Rich Republicans for Bush: The Bush campaign fronted the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth and the sleazy ads they ran on TV questioning John Kerrys Vietnam service and the medals that he was awarded. Three people fronting the group have now been traced back to the Bush campaign, including his lead outside attorney, Benjamin Ginsberg. Bush asked the group to quit running the ads, but only after the damage was done. He didnt condemn them for such nonsense. This smells like Karl Rove. Months ago I said this sleaze-bag will do anything to help Bush win. Attacking another guys service record when his guy was a draft dodger is just about the epitome of anything. To help these idiots out, here is what we would like them to focus on:
1. Health care.
2. Jobs.
3. National debt.
4. No more "preemptive" war.
5. The environment.
6. Corporate welfare, corporate tax dodging, corporate thievery.
7. Less dependence on oil.
8. Separation of church and state.
Dear Mr. Unelected President: Talk issues, not trash. The future of democracy demands a truthful accounting of what the President of the United States stands for.
A sad fact: Remember, whoever you vote for, the government will get in.
