My opinion (for whatever it may be worth):
The Swiftvets should not spend any more time or money on Kerry right now. The time will come. He will go back into his cave for awhile, but he'll never be able to avoid public scrutiny again the way he has in the past.
Just keep an eye on him, Swifites; eventually the right moment will appear when you can push on the discharge issue again. For now, hold on to the good will you have earned. Play the part of good winners. Kerry will eventually give you a good justification to expose him once and for all.
In the meantime, I'd like to see the Swiftvets organization shift its focus to the lies, distortions, and institutionalized bias of the MainScream Media.
Maybe they could change their name to "Veterans for Truth" (or something like that), and broaden their membership. After all, even conservatives who have never been in the service are in a sense veterans of the "Truth Wars" with the MainScream Media. The more people we have monitoring the media, the better.
The media have taken some good blows this year, but they are still on their same old path. We must maintain a steady pressure on them and slap their hands hard whenever they try any of their customary monkey business.
People in the media (and I once was one) are only human, and will naturally have personal biases. But if they make the effort, they can be objective and fair in their reporting. It's not impossible.
The media used to be more fair than they now are, and they can be that way again. But they won't make the effort unless we keep the pressure on them.
The battlefield has changed now, but the war continues.
