At that moment I knew the man was LYING about the whole story.
Personally, I am unwilling to give him the benefit of any doubt.
I don't trust Rassmann either. The timing of him showing up to help Kerry is very suspicious. The story of how they reunited is lame. And his "I'm a Republican" mantra is too obvious. He knew Kerry was a liberal Democrat for 35 years, why would he suddenly change party/political preferences? The guy is full of it and likely on a prearranged payroll deal.
"The truth of the matter is that Rassmann himself changed the details of his story twice in the weekend he appeared in Iowa."
Could you document this very important tidbit for us? Something of this nature would be invaluable to add to the discussion.
The media has made such a big thing of Elliott's "change of statement", they never document those of their "enemies".
