Will this year's Swift Boaters hail from Texas?

We wrote today about two new 527 groups from Texas hoping to sway voters in November.

A group called Save Our Republic based in Seabrook wants to influence the presidential race “so that the national security of our Republic, the United States of America, is saved, preserved, and improved,” according to the group’s filing. One of their leaders is a conservative radio personality from Ohio with some possible Swift Boat connections. You can read the full filing here.

Locally, the Greater Fort Worth Real Estate Council recently created their own 527 group with some notable bigwigs (J.D. Granger, Kenneth Barr, Mike Berry, Bill Miller) serving as directors. Check out their filing here.

It's amazing that the swift boat veterans who where actual Vietnam veterans with "gripes" about John Kerry are dismissed by so many. Check out their website you will see that they are not a bunch of "wackos" as potrayed by many in the media, but veterans who have had issues with John Kerry since the 1970's.
