Little Bit of Nothing

Bush/Kerry article I read.

The Kerry campaign brushed aside the proposal and renewed its call on Bush to condemn the Swift Boat ads. "This White House is desperately trying to avoid coming clean about its role in smearing John Kerry's heroic war record," said Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer.

Okay, I believe Bush himself has nothing to do with those campaigns. I think they are people who are very passionately anti-Kerry for some reason and very pro-Bush. To be this passionate, they must know something. My point, however, is that if Kerry really wants to show that Bush is a terrible mud-slinger, the best way to do that is to reveal his own military records. That would quickly boost himself up and crush Bush's credibility (in the minds of some voters, like I said, I don't think Bush personally has anything to do with those guys). It seems so obviously simple and effective that by not doing it, it's pretty obvious they are telling the truth.

And Todd, could you objectively summarize for me exactly what they are saying Kerry did or did not do while in Vietnam. I recall something about injuring himself a few times to get released and a handfull of purple hearts, but that's about all I've heard. And where's the proof? Somebody has to know the truth.
