A. Saying it twice don't make it true.
B. Kerry could have made this go away three days ago with a simple, easy-to-verify statement. It's been dead silence. That silence allows for, and almost mandates, the logical conclusion that he's been lying for years - to Congress, to the public, probably to his priest - about THE central tenet of his campaign - his service - in order to promote his views. The importance of this lies not in what we think of his actual experience in Nam, but in his honor - his truthfulness.
And, what do you mean by "nothing contradicts Kerry"? If there were "nothing", we wouldn't be discussing this, right? There's "something".
Fuck, it's all as ephemeral and noteworthy as "I invented the internet". Thing is, this isn't a campaign about two candidates with differing plans for our country. It isn't about the simple divide between liberal and conservative. And, at this point, it's not even about Bush-haters and Kerry-haters. It's gone way past that. It's now simply two armed camps made up of the "bases" who hate
each other so much that no prisoners will be taken. People are now fighting dirty for this election simply because they can't stand the thought of those other shits who've been calling them idiots and liars and assholes for a year or more winning.
