|
It seems to me the big part of the Bush/Cheney campaign is to smear John Kerry and his Vietnam experiences. Will the Repubs give their hired hands a time slot during the Convention?

If they are set up as a 527, they can't coordinate with the campaign.

2. Does anyone know exactly when this group became to be? |
|
I mean was there such a group before Kerry was the Democratic Party's pick to run for president . . . or have they just decided to create an organization conveniently at this time???

4. I think it was March or April when they formed |
|
They had a press conference trashing Kerry.
O'Neill came out when C-Span showed Kerry's debate with him on the Dick Cavett Show (1971).

6. John O'Neill was groomed by Nixon when he was President... |
|
to engage in this smear campaign against Kerry. Nixon's White House tapes has a conversation with Nixon and Haldeman about this subject.
