its obvious you all are freaking out that Kerry will likely win this election (and it won't be close either) because every time I come on this thread to discuss KERRY, there are more and more wingers clinging to their last hopes for a Bush victory like the "flip flop" argument and this swift vet thing - largely irrelevant smallish attacks on Kerry that won't amount to much. Face it, this election is about Bush, and his extremely poor performance as CIC. In any field, be it president or CEO or babysitter, you screw up as badly as Bush has and you are out. Bush is out.

"In April of 1972, two important events coincide. The Air Force mandates drug testing for all pilots during medical exams and Bush takes what will turn out to be his last flight as a pilot for the Air National Guard. Less than a month later, Bush flees his Texas Guard base for Alabama, where he signs up to work on the congressional campaign of Winton "Red" Blount, a friend of Bush's father and Nixon's postmaster general. He didn't inform his superiors at Ellington that he had left Texas until two weeks later, when he requested a transfer to the 9921st Air Reserve Squadron, a postal unit with no fighter jets. Initially, the transfer is granted. No one recalls seeing Bush report for duty and there is no documentary record supporting his service there, which, in any event, was to consist primarily of reading flight manuals--an uninviting assignment for the quasi-literate airman. On July 6, Bush is scheduled to take his required flight physical, which will for the first time include a drug test. He fails to show up. Failure to take a flight physical is grounds for immediate suspension of his pilot's license."

Before we even get to what you are asking, we want to know who these Swiftboat folks are, what is their credibility, why is it that they feel their awards are worth holding onto but Kerry's id not. Why is it they feel that they got their award by telling the truth but people like John Kerry, John McCain, Max Cleland got it in a devious way when we know that these Swiftvets are arguing their case in favor of Bush who did not even go to Vietnam. We want to know who these people are, why they put out the ad the way they did without any proof and in some cases violating the law etc. Forget someone's private record and let us look at the public actions instead
