[GOPAgainstGW]

We Have Received Emails on 5 GOP States HQ Illegally Pimping for John O'Neill Swift Boat Veterans for Bush, I mean Truth, GOP Sham Operation.

You know about Florida. Some great posts here on that subject!!

Here's our MN GOP violation report. I haven't had a chance to really look at it, but I will throw it out here anyway. - NKR

P.S. Make sure this gets in the right hands to help send Bush and his corrupt empire packing in November.

Minnesota GOP Has Illegal Ties To Swift Boat Veteran for Truth (SBVT)
along with GOP Larry Colson, Bush-Cheney 2004 Minnesota eCampaign Chairman.

Mr. Colson also works closely with Minnesota GOP Information Technology Director, Joel Cary who together built the GOP’s WebVoter system. See further information at bottom of page.

Minnesota is considered a key Bush-Cheney GOP battleground state and both men are listed on the following GOP official staff roster:

Florida, and now Minnesota GOP illegally supporting Swift Boat Veterans organization:

Official Minnesota Republican Website Linked to Swift Boat Ads and Book. Webpage “Prepared and Paid for by Republican Party of Minnesota”.

In Minnesota, like Florida--a battleground state with polls showing Bush & Kerry in a dead heat—an official Republican Party webpage was recently found to be linking to the Swift Boat Ads. The webpage goes on to question Kerry and has these questions about John Kerry's service in Vietnam: SWIFT VETS ARE GETTING TO KERRY; DID HE LIE ABOUT HIS SERVICE, repeatedly, in an effort to embellish it? DID HE TAKE CREDIT for engagements fought by other men (Lt. Ted Peck in particular)? The website also contains a link to purchase the book produced by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, "Unfit For Command".

1. This is so shocking....NOT.

Thugs and scofflaws and liars in the right wing will do anything to get Bush elected.

[w13rd0]

2. Nice compendium of stuff there...

...followed your links. Wow, not kidding, he's really a certifiable "Bush stooge", ain't he...

[gasperc]

3. they don't even try to avoid links

they just don't care

[Nancy Waterman]

4. GOPAgainstGW

You mentioned 5 state GOP HQs. What are the other three, besides Florida and Minn? One could be an anomaly, but 5 is a distinct pattern!! Nice work. No way they can worm out of that.

[Tyler Durden]

5. When you're one of the "Grownups"....

Then anything you can do to keep the power out of the hands of the "Children" is justified; right?

CHOKE RETCH BARF SPEW

[MallRat]

6. Larry Colson? Any relation to Chuck Colson?

Remember:

Nixon ----> Charles Colson ----> John O'Neill ----> SwiftBoat Vets

-MR

[displacedtexan]

7. I was wondering that, too!

Hm.

I don't remember where Chuck Colson came from.

Edited: He's from Boston.

[yellowcanine]

10. Please tell me that Chuckie Colson did not reproduce.

If there is a God.....

[NashVegas]

8. Yahoo Groups

Man, I'll bet those groups could be a treasure trove. I just tried to join the MN group, but it wants a comment for approval. Couldn't think of anything convincing enough.

[Blue_Roses]

9. wow--interesting

what has changed your mind about voting for Bush and who are the "beltway Republicans against bush-cheney 04 Inc."?

[jburton]

11. kick n/t

12. Why Voting Against Bush-Cheney

The Iraq War and U.S. Middle Policies

At the end of the Cold War all World experts stated that the Middle East had to be allowed to polarize, or the U.S. risked the worst Holy War in the history of this planet.

Well the 50 year U.S.–Middle East Holy War has started with the U.S. invading TWO Middle East countries.

9/11 was a wake up call for the U.S. We didn’t listen unfortunately.

[yardwork]

13. Welcome to DU!

I agree that the invasion and occupation of Iraq is the worst crime committed by G. W. Bush.
