Gould, you are blind. Open your eyes. The guys on Kerry's boat most likely
got stuck there because they couldn't transfer off due to nobody wanting to
transfer onto Kerry's boat.

And 35 years later they still feel "trapped" by Kerry? If the stories being
spread by the shadow organization are true, why do Kerry's crew still feel
compelled to call it "bull****". They're under a lot more pressure from 250
dedicated Republican character assassins than from one guy who skippered their
boat way back when.

Only motivation I can think of for the guys on his boat sitcking up for him, in
the face of a lot of very public pressure to do otherwise, is that there is a
sense of honor among these guys and they think telling the truth is important.

The guys on Kerry's boat say the charges are bull****. John McCain says the
charges are bull****. Kerry's commander has recanted his statement, regrets
making it, and has all but admitted that the charges are bull****.

Others think that keeping a particular politician in power is so important that
they truth comes second.

By now, your guy should have such a sting of sterling accomplishments to his
record that a dirty trick like this would be unnecessary.

Too bad for all of us that such is not the case.
