Warning Again about Veterans For Freedom
This Group claims to speak for veterans. They are the new Veterans For Truth and are back by Karl Rove and John the liar O'Neil. I posted this warning before they became active. Now they will be swiftboating everyone running for office as a Democrat. Just a Fresh update to make sure you know the enemy,

1. I wonder how many of them are truly Veterans?
Has anyone asked them why 61 VETERANS are running for Congress as Democrats and only one is running as a Republican?

As a reminder, there were 90 Veterans running as DEMOCRATS in the upcoming elections, but as a result of primary results or some candidates stepping aside for other Democratic candidates, there are currently sixty one candidates who are running.

Sixty one to their ONE.

How often does the media ask Cheney WHY so many Veteran's are running in the Democratic Party -- if as he says, we are the "al Queda" party?

Does the media ==EVER== bring the Fighting Dems up ?? And if not, WHY NOT??????

I'll bet anything that some of the members of the so-called "Veteran's for Truth" are not veteran's, but are just funding the swifties.

4. Still... I'll bet anything that SOME of those "affiliated" with them...
...have the very same military background as Dick Cheney, and Rush Limbaugh --->

I just listened to Kerry's interview on Big Ed's show and he really makes a point of "NEVER LETTING THEM DO THIS AGAIN" (talking about the swiftboaters and how they LIE through their teeth)

I wish I could have asked Kerry if that meantthat someone was investigating this weasely-ass group!

2. They have a name too close to the Veterans For Peace
They are not even close either.

6. The 527 groups should be regulated more.
PACs have a limit of $5,000 in accepting donations, and so should all 527s.

Right now, there is no limit on how much a 527 like this "Veterans for Freedom" group can accept.
