THAT is gonna put the nail in Kerry's coffin

One might think, but I'm skeptical. Although we see this as a pattern of deception, I think the majority of people will forgive Kerry for lying about Cambodia 30 years ago. Perhaps if more damaging information comes out about his war record, it might change some minds, but I even doubt that.

People didn't hold it against Clinton that he wrote that he "loathed the military" or that even though he claimed that, as a youth, he saw black churches burning in AK, none burned.

Or that Hillary said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary even though she was born BEFORE he became famous.

Heck, people didn't even seem to mind much that Clinton lied through his teeth before a federal judge.

For those of us who frequent FR, it's easy to be lulled into a belief that most of the folks out there will draw the same conclusions as we do when they find out what we know. But, unfortunately, that's just not the case. A lot of people really don't give a hoot.

I'm jaded.

You are right but the people were also under the impression, since the cold war was over, these things didn't matter much. We are currently engaged in a war on terrorism and most people (other than the Michael Moore-ons) are aware of that and 1% will make a significant difference.

That was probably the only honest statement ever to leave Bubba lips. In a time of war battle buddies remember who helped them and who hurt them, be it in the field or at home. Kerry has hurt in the past and is dredging up old hurts now.

First .. That incident I copied happened just last year

As for Clinton .. many didn't know about Clinton and the ones that did are the base and Clinton could rape their mother and they would still make excuses for him

As for the Swiftboat Vets and their book .. will they change a lot of peoples opinions??

Maybe .. Maybe not .. but Kerry can't afford to lose any voters
