Swift Boat Censorship

Swift Boat Censorship!

Presidential politics are misleading on both sides. To the casual listener of the political ads, both side are telling the truth about their past leadership roles. In my opinion, there is only way to discern the truth, and that is to have an open and fair investigation of the facts, something the news media should be doing. When the news media hears of Republicans being dis honest, there is an immediate full-scale investigation by all. However, when the Democrats are accused of being dishonest, there is a casual dismissal of being bipartisan or even worse. Now if I were in the courtroom with Oprah, we have almost 300 witnesses to the illustrious John Kerry's Vietnam War record who disagree with his 13 men crew. The preponderance of the evidence should conclude that at the very least the big 5 news media outlets should at least investigate the facts. Isn't that the goal of every wannabe news reporter, "to break the Big Story", and then write a book on the subject? (Aka Bob Woodward) Now we find out that not only is the news media ignoring the "story of the century in Presidential politics", but also the story of the Swift Vets for the Truth is being censored by threat of lawsuits to the station owners who run the politic add! Yes, law suits against the station owners, not those who created the ad and want the truth know! The same Demogod attack lawyers of the DNC have turned on their very own politically correct liberal station owners. While the liberals are crying about John Aschcroft censorship, they should look in the mirror to see the real culprits of censorship! I have never witnessed such a pathetic response by those young reporters who are willing to "break the big story", than with the Swift Vets for the Truth. If these Vets are lying, as the attack lawyers and the Richest Presidential Candidate in the history are saying, why aren’t these Swift boat Veterans the target of a libel suit? Why won't the richest Presidential Candidate sign form 180 and release all his files from Vietnam? Failure of total disclosure should set off a 3 alarm fire bells for some young reporter looking to "break the big story".

Another story that is being highly censored by the champions of "free speech" is the huge story of Sandy Berger scandal.

You never herd of Sandy Berger? He was an advisor for the richest presidential candidate while he was under FBI investigation of "stealing highly classified documents" from the national archives. Sorta like the 900 FBI files that Mrs. Clinton could not find in the White House for 2 years. Just think about it, with the Watergate scandal, Mr. Dean was sentenced for 5 years just stealing 1 FBI file.

Most of you reading this post probably already have your mind made up about whom you are going to vote for. It is sad to say, those who are not reading this post are probably the deciding factor who will be president in the next election. Those 7% of the undecided voters probably; have no pension plan, don't invest in the stock market, may have 1 home or renting; want free health insurance, make less than 30k a year, and think that the rich as defined by Al Gore who make over 200k a year) should pay more income taxes.

You maybe free in America, but the news media czars of truth are keeping you in chains from the truth.

Attention all Vets, you must go to this site and Judge for yourself!

German Town Wary of U.S. Troop Pullout

KITZINGEN, Germany - Hans Seitz has sold engraved pewter plates and cuckoo clocks to U.S. soldiers for years. Now he fears some of his best customers may be going if two U.S. divisions pull out of Germany.
Seitz was one of many Germans — all the way up to Defense Minister Peter Struck — who expressed regret Tuesday at the prospect that the United States will withdraw a large share of its 70,000 troops from Germany under plans announced by President Bush
Seitz is not alone. Across southern Germany, about two dozen towns and cities with major U.S. military bases face similar economic fears, though the Americans will leave only gradually.

(Hey, you are either with us or against us, your government chose not to go to war with us, so say good bye to our dollars.)

Asked if he believed Bush would pull out troops to punish Germany for its stand on Iraq, he said, "No, I can't believe that. It's the economic situation."

The town nets $1.8 million from the regional government to cover services provided to the U.S. military, not counting what goes into retailers' tills and landlords' bank accounts.
