| #7 Sarge & Pappy, I second Supoer H's call. The difference between 2&3 looks like punctuation, but the difference between 1& 2 make them almost look like 2 different incidents! |

| #6 Maybe CyberSarge or Pappy can make heads or tails of this one. Frontpage has obtained three separate citations for Kerry's Silver Star. It looks like the citation has been rewritten and resigned each decade. I've never seen anything like this. Lehman signed the last one. The article goes into how the citation has been altered over time. |

| #5 What makes me laugh is the 527 that have spent the most have been supporting Kerry. That called calling the kettle black. I think the Swith Boat Vets got better traction with their first ad and should stick to that message. Bush went up 9 points with undecided voters who saw that. The Second Ad sees a loss of the same folks. They need to stay on that first message. |

| #4 .com, I remember watching some of the public comment that the FEC held prior to allowing the 527 abuse continue. Every special interest got their say. I don't know how they listened without having their heads explode. The minority complainers about being silenced were pretty pathetic. Here is a link to the buffet of testimony for those who desire to abuse themsleves. I'm sure that some Nostradamus in the bunch predicted this mess. |

| #3 527's: An McCain-Feingold or FEC failure? This sez the FEC is the culprit... and I tend to agree. |

| #2 Mojo, I don't think that Newsmax plans to sue anybody. I think that they intend to get the word out. You would think that Newmax would have no success, but I didn't think that the Swift Boat guys would do this much damage to Kerry. Evidently, Vets pay more attention to politics than most Americans. |

| #1 They don't get it. The law is worded so broadly that defining "coordinate" is going to be a real joy in the courts. Full employment for lawyers uber alles. For now, expect the usual razzle-dazzle from the FEC et al. - nothing,concrete enough to be called wishy-washy, in other words. |
