First, we need to define the issue. There are official documents extant, which provide some basic facts. For example, Kerry received an honorable discharge from the Standby Reserves on Feb 16, 1978. The assertion that Kerry received a pardon from Carter has no factual basis whatsoever. Dreaming up such scenarios and then contacting the media doesn't work. We can attack Kerry for his bogus PHs and antiwar activities with the radical VVAW using facts, but concocting a phony discharge story will discredit legitimate attempts to show what a fraud Kerry is.
The focus should be on pressuring Kerry to authorize release of his military records. He won't do it because he is hiding some things. However, we can still own the issue without the records.
Your able and reasonable response to my plea is sufficient. I would only add one thing at this point. In your response to me you ended in saying:
"However, we can still own the issue without the records".
Great. But if by "we" you mean people like me that have no power to forward the facts to a large voting block that might vote for snake man thinking he is a war hero, then we will get nowhere. I am not bashing your logic, contrary I agree with you. Guess I sense nothing will come of it. And perhaps it is better this way. He (JFK) must face his maker on judgment day. Let our president be re-elected by a majority of voters in a fair and honest debate on issues.
Thanks for your common sense reply.
