O'Neill Voted for Gore, Bashed Bush
Swiftboat Veterans for Truth chief spokesman John O'Neill is supposed to be a tool of the Bush Cheney reelection campaign - at least according to John Kerry's media damage controllers.
But in fact, O'Neill voted against George Bush in 2000 and against his father in 1992, O'Neill friend Gerry Birnberg tells the Boston Globe, backing Al Gore and Ross Perot respectively.

O'Neill also supported Perot against Bob Dole in 1996.
As far as the claim that O'Neill is doing Bush's bidding with his Swiftboat campaign, Birnberg told the Globe, "He has told me on a couple of occasions that he
believes George Bush is an empty suit who is not competent to be
elected president."
Before John Kerry got the nomination, O'Neill said he had intended to vote for John Edwards.
