I don't believe it. IMO the Swiftboat's for Truth were a stalking horse
for Bush.

For this reason, the Swiftboat guys were wrong to air the "John Kerry
lied" ads. It's their word against Kerry's and his supporters. However,
the Swifties are certainly entitled to replay Kerry's derogatory comments
about our troops. That's something that is part of the public record, and
they simply stated that he was wrong in making such comments.

I agree with McCain on this, *both* candidates did what their country
asked of them. The Swiftboat episode is an example of what I was
referring to. One could almost predict which "truth" each of us would
select.
