Cash and Kerry

Blackfive has the transcript of the TV confrontation between the two men who are arguing about Kerry's Bronze star, and what happened that day in 1969. Good discussion in the comments section (as always, skip past the trolls).

The Swifties are definitely losing some credibility. However, there is a lot of real rage at John Kerry among Vietnam veterans who feel that he betrayed the cause by coming home and agitating against the war. Many feel strongly that he is lying in his allegations of widespread war crimes by Americans.

So this schism between Kerry and most members of the military is not going to go away, irrespective of whether the Swifties are telling the truth.

And we're still waiting to see Kerry's medical records; a lot of people are having trouble wrapping their minds around the fact that this guy bailed out after 120 days or whatever, without having sustained severe wounds. (The "musta been a papercut" allegation.)

Live by your service, die by your service. Kerry opened himself up to this.

1 Of course Kerry's medical files from Vietnam should be opened up. McCainÂ’s wrong on this one. I can't recall in modern political history a candidate bragging so much about his military service. Maybe in some Third World Country. I'm an Independent who had made up my mind not to vote for Bush. However, the more I see of Kerry and this type of hypocritical politics, the greater the chances are that I'll vote against Kerry.
