WHY isn't this lying phoney traitor being pressured by ANYBODY to release the details of his "Purple Heart" medals????

The Repubs failed to go after Clinton on his mysterious trip to the Soviet Union during the Viet Nam War, or his mother's trip there.

Unless they pull out all the stops, they will wind up on the High ROad to defeat with this guy.

Exposing his turpitude will at least energize Bush's right-wing detractors, if nothing else.

Kerry has had more than 30 years to cover his trail and close to 25 years in public office to develop a strategy to confront whatever scrutiny is directed against him. Now that GWB has released his military records, Kerry should be pressed to do the same.

It will be a hard nut to crack because his past history has shown that when pressed by an opponent, Kerry pulls the Vietnam card. His antiwar activities offer the best opportunity to counter the Vietnam card, but it has the risk of raising the entire rightness/wrongness of the war, which divided a generation.
