Can Kerry make a case that Bush broke the law?
WASHINGTON - Can Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry prove his allegation that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group airing ads denigrating his service as a Navy officer in Vietnam, are nothing more than "a front for the Bush campaign"?


In one sense, that may be an immaterial question if voters decide that the group is part of an overall anti-Kerry strategy that is approved or assented to by President Bush or his campaign aides.

A Bush campaign spokesman said Thursday the charge that the campaign was in cahoots with The Swift Boat group "is absolutely and completely false.”

Kerry pointed to one of the Republicans helping fund the Swift Boat ad effort, veteran Texas GOP donor Bob Perry who has given $2,000 contribution to the Bush re-election campaign and $200,000 to the Swift Boat group.

The question of coordination — did anyone in the Bush campaign suggest the anti-Kerry ad or assent to it? — may become an important issue that affects the campaign.

7. sh*t, meet fan...
...and I hope it's STICKY, oooey-gooey sh*t, too...that takes MONTHS to clean off of Duhbya's diapers...

B-)

My skepticism reigns me in, though, 'cause bu$hit has gotten away with so much CRAP all his life - especially since 2000.

It'd be nice, though, if some of the sh*t in his diapers got stuck in the White House carpet, though I think the rubber pants are still probably way too thick on the little (W)easel.

9. Here's what I'd love to see..
Every single one of those book authors, every single person in that NYT chart.. investigated to the hilt. Phone records, emails, travel arrangements for the past 8 months. If there's ONE SINGLE INTERACTION between any of these cretin and anyone from either the White House or the Bush campaign, this will be blown wide-open.

Now.. is the media willing to do some *gasp* investigating? I doubt it.

10. While the media is attacking the messengers
They are not spending enough time discrediting the message.

I don't think that there is anyway to "prove" that this was done at the direction of the Bush campaign.

However, the statements in the ad are LIES and have been proved as false. Every minute of airtime and every column-inch of newspapper that they spend attacking the messengers, could have been used to show that the message is lies.

It is another subtle way that the media is stacked against us.
