Swift Boaters ready to strike again
Research by The Nation into Federal Election Commission records of the group's top twenty donors reveals that they've been remarkably active in this cycle, contributing and bundling nearly $200,000 to presidential candidates. This does not bode well. During the last presidential campaign, the wealthy backers of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth--now rebranded as Swift Vets and POWs for Truth--didn't do their real dirty work until the general election, where as a tax-exempt 527 group they operated outside the restraints of direct campaign contributions. We may wish we were done with the Swift Boaters, but they aren't done with us.

1. Don't the swift boaters wear tights and boas like the professional wrestlers?

3. If they were really macho, they would run for election themselves...
they are candy asses, who shoot candidates in the back, then hide.

2. POWs for Truth?
Sounds to me like someone plans to go after McCain!
