The Nation magazine says the SwiftBoaters who funded the smearing of John Kerry in 2004 are back...in fact they never left...and are preparing to once again fund a smear campaign against Democratic candidates. This article speaks for itself and please take a few moments to read it. Bob Perry, who, along with T Boone Pickens and Harold Simmons, provides the big bucks to the SwiftBoat campaign, spends 10's of millions of dollars funding reactionary politicians. He gets those dollars from home buyers in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio and McAllen, one dollar at a time, one house or townhouse at a time....people who work hard for that money and ironically wind up helping to fund a political paradigm that promotes a burdensome health care system, denies us all clean air and a sustainable environment, promotes tragic, unnecessary, $trillion dollar wars and fails to protect victims of natural disasters, like Katrina. One's home, whether an efficiency apartment or a large house, is one's sanctuary. And it's very sad when people who work hard to pay for their home wind up contributing funds to vicious SwiftBoat attacks intended to support candidates and policies which undermine their well being and security. .
