Poll question: Will America allow Chickenhawks to insult the entire US Military? (Poll)
I originally posted this as a response to a DUer, who has a chance to ask Max Cleland a question today...

It's obvious to me that the Bush/Cheney campaign is using these Nixon-era Swiftboat Liars For Bush to question US Military record keeping procedures.

Since nothing the Bush/Cheney campaign has done to hide George W. Bush's own humiliating National Guard service has worked, do you think America will allow Chickenhawks (and their Nixon/Colson-trained minions) to insult everyone who is now facing and has ever faced enemy fire while wearing a US Military uniform in order to deflect attention away from George W.'s record of service?

1. "Dont go away mad, just go away"
I see them going broke and just fading into history. Bushies wont denounce them and neither can they endorse them. They will lose steam in a couple weeks and be forgotten.

3. And what happens when JK brings up Bush*'s military record?
Repukes and their minion pundits will say, "Well, you now how blurred Kerry's official record is. Why is Bush*'s record any different?"

5. Not sure what you mean
JK can mention bush's record all day long, he's got the credentials! But bush cant personally say shit about Kerry. His minions ARE saying it for him but, they will run out of steam.

I dont like the fact that kerry is filing a complaint with the FEC. Id rather him just ignore them, give them as little attention as they deserve. It looks like the media is finally doing its job and actually checking these goons out now. Clift's newsweek column is one example.

If kerry leaves it alone, they will drop out of relevance. He has all the facts on his side, he made his case and was backed up by PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY WERE THERE, and let the nation know that the swift vets are a political squad... enough said. Just let them go away.

6. If the bushes stoled the elections 2000....
invaded a country (two with Haiti), demolished our allies and the United Nations, demolished environmental laws and Geneva Convention Laws, use Homeland Security for fear and intimidation, give tax money to their rich friends only...on and on....yet like our neighbor says that bush served honorably and his papers proof it....there's something in the water or in those McDonald french fries. Americans believing what bush and the GOP stand for, are the stupidest people on earth.
