	washingtonpost.com: Weber: Swift Boat Ads Cut Deep
		Weber, who serves as chairman for the Bush-Cheney campaign in Plains states, would not offer his opinion on whether the claims made in the ads being aired by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth were legitimate, but he did say the issue resonates with voters who are primarily concerned with issues of national security.
		Weber said the ads questioning whether Kerry deserved medals awarded for valor are effective because they raise salient issues about the Democratic presidential candidate's ability to be commander in chief after touting his record as a Vietnam war hero last month in Boston.
		Weber said the success of the Swift boat campaign is interesting because the independent groups supporting Kerry are better organized and better funded than most Republican groups, including the Swift boat veterans.

		Weber, the rock-ribbed conservative who once was Newt Gingrich's chief enforcer, naturally thinks universal health care is for the birds.

		Weber shrugs off the neocon tag: "I've always been a conservative." But he makes no bones about his empathy for the movement, saying it's about judiciously using military might as a force for good.

		Vin Weber - Friday, May 12, 2006 @ 9:15:31 AM Who'd have thunk that Vin Weber, one of the great stalwarts of the conservative movement, would sell his soul and get into bed with MoveOn.org and other left-wing groups to regulate the Internet?
		Not only is he pressing for Internet regulation, but Weber apparently is now supportive of knocking down child-security filters and allowing porn to be transmitted over cell phones and with virtually no parental controls on at-home computers.
		The legislation Weber is backing would enable all of that, and yet the Chrisitian Coalition has now apparently joined him in his fight.
