1. John Kerry has the power to prove the SBVFT are full of crap, Republican Attack Dogs, the works, by simply releasing his records to the public.
2. He refuses to do this.

You know you just got done preaching to me that I need to do some research on this area.
TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE BEFORE YOU MAKE THAT KIND OF STATEMENT
Swift Vets Funded By Longtime Texas Bush Contributors
Fox News: "Many Of Them Are Republicans Who Have Contributed To And Backed Various Bush Campaigns And Causes Over The Decades" "Kerry's military service was an asset during the primaries; critics hoped to transform it into a liability now. The GOP says it's not involved with the veterans criticizing Kerry, but many of them are Republicans who have contributed to and backed various Bush campaigns and causes over the decades." [Fox News, Special Report, Cameron, 5/4/04]
Dallas Morning News: "Veterans' Group Critical of Kerry Backed by Bush Supporter." Bob Perry, a major supporter of President Bush and the Republican Party, is the biggest financial backer of a veterans group seeking to discredit Democrat John Kerry's military service, according to federal records. Perry, a Houston homebuilder, gave $100,000 to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group that has been critical of Kerry's anti-war activities after he returned from Vietnam. That accounted for two-thirds of the organization's receipts to date. [DMN, Slater, 7/23/04]
Swift Vets Operated By Same People Who Tried to Discredit McCain in 2000
CBS News: "The Press Conference Was Set Up By The Same People Who Tried To Discredit John McCain's Reputation." "The [May, 2004 Swift Boat Veterans for Truth"] press conference was set up by the same people who tried to discredit John McCain's reputation in Vietnam service when McCain faced George W. Bush for the Republican nomination in 2000. It's the same strategy used to go after Georgia Senator Max Cleland, who lost three limbs in Vietnam." [CBS Evening News, Pitts, 5/4/04]
Salon.Com: "Same Vicious Techniques They Used Against McCain" "Behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are veteran corporate media consultant and Texas Republican activist Merrie Spaeth, who is listed as the group's media contact… In 2000, Spaeth participated in the most subterranean episode of the Republican primary contest when a shadowy group billed as 'Republicans for Clean Air' produced television ads falsely attacking the environmental record of Sen. John McCain in California, New York and Ohio. While the identity of those funding the supposedly 'independent' ads was carefully hidden, reporters soon learned that Republicans for Clean Air was simply Sam Wyly -- a big Bush contributor and beneficiary of Bush administration decisions in Texas -- and his brother, Charles, another Bush "Pioneer" contributor."

Why? Its a simple question, why do those who are supporters of John Kerry, why do you go through the contortions to defend him against the Swift Boat Vets?
|
Because they are LIARS because they are shills for the Bush administration and the Republican party and proof of it has been shown you just refuse to acknowledge it.
We go through such contortions because we're sick and fuckin tired of this criminal administration resorting to outright lies in order to smear Kerry just like they did to John McCain and just like they and their Republican friends and shills in the media will continue to do if Kerry gets elected as they did with Clinton.
We're tired of the lies, we're tired of the right wing distortion machine, and we're tired of this country's good name being spat on in the name of greed.
Now I ask you. Why do YOU feel the need to attack a man like Kerry yet leave one of the most crooked if not THE most crooked and unAmerican administration unscathed?
If you have attacked this administration or found fault in its doings by all means show me some proof, gimmie some links, but as of now I won't buy this "I'm an independent voter" bullshit.
