It’s really a damn shame though. He is a good man. And would have made a great leader. After being swiftboated during his 2004 campaign and failing to answer the Republican criticisms leveled at him, Kerry lost much of his political support.
I wonder why Kerry didn’t attempt legal action against those involved in his swiftboating? These ‘critics’ used false information to cause Kerry to lose his presidential bid. Looks like an open and shut case. Am I wrong?
