"A group funded by the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas began running an attack ad Aug. 5 in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts." THE above statement is false based upon the last published report of donors in Texas. Former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts." is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Stating the obvious conclusions of what one knows are the facts is not an attack. Even if the truth is that another has been lying, it is not an attack.

Well, here's some other info from your site: Democratic Internet Ad Confuses Fiction and Fact Animated cartoon claims Bush cuts education funding, but it's really up 58%. factcheck.org 88888888888 DNC Ad Says Bush Lost Manufacturing Jobs But even Clinton lost manufacturing jobs in his second term. Economists say changing the tax code won't do much to help The Democratic National Committee released an ad Aug. 6 saying 2.7 million manufacturing jobs had been lost under Bush. That's true, but ignores the fact that manufacturing jobs started their decline three years before Bush took office. The ad also says "Bush protects tax breaks favoring corporations that move their headquarters overseas" and that Kerry would "end job-killing tax loopholes." But as we've said before , "offshoring" accounts for just a small fraction of jobs that are lost, and even Democratic economists say changing the tax code won't end the overseas job drain anyway. Analysis The Democratic National Committee ad uses the time-honored tactic of putting the opponent's worst foot forward. It's a one-sided presentation that doesn't give the full picture. PS....You asked a question. I don't know if Robert Perry and his wife are the largest Republican donors in Texas.... Will have to check to see how the Dems compare. What I am seeing is that the Dems are funded by LARGE groups, and LARGER Million/Billionaires.... While the Repubs are funded mostly by smaller donations. It did tickle me to see that Bush was able to get $2.4 million the other day at a fundraiser in Seattle. There are SOME thinking folks still left here in Liberal Latte'Land....<ggg>
