Reply #2: United Seniors tied to Progress for America and Swift Boat Vets [View All]

There's a hydra-headed monster out there, and I keep contributing to threads on various aspects of it. Unfortunately, those earlier threads are already archived and thus unavailable until after the election. But the short version is:

1) Progress for America is a major funder of expensive Bush ads, like the one discussed at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x935321

2) Progress for America's own funding comes from some extremely wealthy Republicans and long-time Bush backers, plus a variety of more ordinary corporate owners and CEO's.

3) This contributor list has considerable overlap, especially at the upper levels, with the list of people who have funded the Swift Boat Vets.

4) Progress for America has also donated money to United Seniors.
