Bush Exposed...Not all Veterans Are Like Him!

Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. A group of veterans that puportedly served with John Kerry in Vietnam and are now producing ads challenging the credibility of two of his purple hearts and his bronze star. Bush II has said he believes that Kerry served honorably, but will not dissavow the claims of the group.....but, why would he? It serves to help him politically if people second guess Kerry's credibility on the veteran front. And today, it is proven that the Swift Boat Veterans, a 527 group "not affiliated" with a campaign or candidate, has lied, and is connected to Bush II.

Now, I really deplore how negative this campaign has gotten on both sides, but this makes me sick. A group of veterans, many of whom won the same medals as Kerry, in the same incident, using negative campaigning to destroy a worthy veteran who served proudly. The kicker is that Bush II is connected. He has no shame, even though he too is a "veteran" of military service, although there are many questions regarding his service and discharge that may or may not have had to do with his cocaine use. How can any "leader" not condemn this faulty attack? Well, I will tell you why. It is because Bush II and the Royal Jester Karl Rove have used these tactics before and blamed them on operatives acting independently, it happened to John McCain in the South Carolina primary in 2000. So much for visionary leadership. Is it now acceptable to question Bush's character in all of these matters? Even if he does not personally give the order, isn't he responsible for having advisors like these on his staff and responsible for this character assassination? Character does count, and doing anything and everything to win when you are behind in your re-election campaign is a sign of weak values.
