Speak for yourself. I have no hate-filled agenda.

My agenda is to want all the facts on the table so the American voters can make an informed choice about sho should serve the next 4 years as President of the United States.

I want the truth out. As numerous people have noted, one of the two groups is lying. Is it Kerry and his band of 11 brothers or is it the 60+ group of Swiftvets?

In my line of work, judging credibility is something that comes up frequently. One has to ask a number of questions, including

What is this person's motivation to put forth a particular version of the facts

What does this person have to gain or lose from putting forth his particular version of the facts

Has this person told untruths or stretched the truth before?

What is the person's demeanor when telling his story?

Was the person in a position to observe the things he is speaking of?

As I noted to you before, the release of Kerry's military records would go a long way to clarify the situation.

One has to ask, why won't Kerry agree to their release?
