Has anyone actually thought about why these guys hate Kerry so much?
You mean these guys weren't objective in their reporting of events?

No, that's not what I mean. At any rate, Kerry was a scumbag and his past came back to bite him.

In a situation like this, I don't trust the motives of either party.
who gives a damn about their motives?? likely had they been supporters of jk they would not have come forth?? the issue is the veracity of jk's record. his record is/was an issue because he made it an issue. again, he had only to release the relevant medical info to put this to rest, but he did not??? if they knew they were perpetrating a lie, that jk would easily disprove thru the release of his records would they hang themselves out to dry?? jk is a fraud, that should have been tried for treason but instead was elected by dems/libs to the senate....
Hahaha ... I'm not tempted to defend Kerry. As Mr D said, he is uninteresting.
He chose to run based on his Vietnam record, therefore he should have released his medical records.
I will just say, in any professional situation, you will find disgruntled colleagues.
