I consider myself to be a moderate Republican. I reached this determination during the last election. I watched many dirty tricks on both sides of the aisle that absolutely disgusted me. The Swift Boat Veterans may firmly believe what they preach, but the way they did business was wrong! My question is: why did they wait 30-some years to come out with these facts? And the amateurish butcher job that someone tried to do on President Bush is another one. This election turned out to be about a conflict (even amateur historians realize that Vietnam was not a war, though the line between war and conflict is mainly legal) that was rooted in the past, when the voting public should have been considering the future (and John Kerry's voting record).
One more note: Michael Moore (Fahrenheit 911) should be relegated to the dustbin of obscurity. He considers himself an opposition politician, when, in reality, he is nothing more than a schoolyard bully with a camera and a filmmaker's budget. The sad part is that Michael Moore still doesn't realize that George Bush won BECAUSE of Michael Moore, NOT in spite of him.
