I am very familiar with the alleged links and none of those sources you cite prove anything near collaboration. Pointing to those who contribute money or time to both the GOP/Bush campaign and that particular 527 proves what exactly in your mind? Do you feel the same way about Move On, ACT, etc since their monies come from those strongly alligned with the Kerry campaign and there has been movement of employees from one to the other?

As I recall Kerry has only criticized one ad from the Democratic leaning 527s, is that "evidence" that he's controlling them? Of course not.

Pointing to a source claiming that Kerry's words from his Senate testimony were taken out of context while trying to justify the Kerry campaign's outright lie that Laura Bush's words are evidence of a link between Bush and the Swift Boat group is a bit outlandish.

But if those sources prove to you that Laura Bush saying:

means that George Bush is controlling the Swift Boat group then I guess we really have nothing else to discuss.
