Swift Boat Liars Run Aground
As we all know, they're trying to slime Kerry because * has nothing to run on. This will soon be yesterday's news, the Kerry-Edwards team will bat it down, and * will still have nothing to run on. By the time November 2 rolls around, much will have happened on the ground in Iraq and unemployment numbers will not have improved. They blew it by pulling out all the slime stops this early. Everyone, including the media, are now onto them.

1. the media is still trying to protect Bush from the backlash
I just came across this headline "Bush: stop the ads"

http://www.newsday.com/news/politics/ny-usswif0824,0,311775,print.story?coll=ny-top-headlines


Inside the story, you see that in fact Bush still has not specifically condemned the swiftboat ads, but that headline really seriously protects Bush.

2. It won't work
People are fed up, they know the country is going in the wrong direction, and deceptive headlines are not going to win the election for Bush.

3. I think you're right
a reporter from the Washington Post held an online discussion about this swiftshit, and he got tons and tons of questions from people that knew what was up.

I think the media will know we're onto them. I know I'm doing everything I can to let them know, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
