What you have to ask yourself, pilgrim, is if they were lying back in
the war, when they wrote all those glowing accounts of Kerry's bravery and
competence, or if they are lying now, when they say he isn't fit to lead
this country. It has to be one or the other.

Here's an interesting question. If, as they claim, they are not Bush
supporters, just folks who are appalled by the idea of Kerry becoming
President, why didn't they make their charges back in the primary season,
when they could have influenced the Democrats to pick another and more
acceptable candidate? Hmmm? I mean, if they aren't really working for
Bush? In fact, why didn't any of these guys pop out of the woodwork
decades ago during one of Kerry's prior campaigns? No, no, they wait
until Kerry gets into a position where he might defeat Bush. Only then do
they start remembering all the reasons Kerry is unfit to serve the people.

What does that tell you
about their claims of being nonpolitical?

It smells fishy to me.
