Now that McCain has publicly condemned that Swift-boaters

[Dying Eagle]

he need to resign as the Co-Chair of Bush's Campaign in Arizona. He need to send a strong message. Words are not good enough. McCain knows that Bush is pulling the same trick he pulled on McCain. Time to quit the campaign Senator!

snip:

Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service "dishonest and dishonorable" and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well.

"It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me," McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press, referring to his bitter Republican primary fight with President Bush.

snip:

The ad, scheduled to air in a few markets in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin, was produced by Stevens, Reed, Curcio and Potham, the same team that produced McCain's ads in 2000.

"I wish they hadn't done it," McCain said of his former advisers. "I don't know if they knew all the facts."

Snip:

Later, McCain said the Bush campaign has denied any involvement and added, "I can't believe the president would pull such a cheap stunt."

2. It is a ploy....bait....for

our groups, supporters and believers of *bush's AWOL record, to stop our attacks.........thats why the swift boat gang came out so hard......This is directed by Rove and GOP to have independents forget *bush's record.

To level the playing field by telling the swift boaters to stop because it is not right sends a message to independents that Democrat groups need to stop attacking *bush's AWOL record, that is not right or accurate either. Making it look like both sides have been wrong........and hyped the information....making *bush look credible with military service.......


Will the independents take the bait?
