Not that I care if he loses... LOL

But, why did he make this the central plank of his platform? Why couldn't he just say, "I served my country in Viet Nam and I'm proud of my record." And be done with it? I bet the SBVFT would have left him alone.

He could also have ignored the story into oblivion. The press certainly didn't want it to be promoted. They're still avoiding having to ask him the really pointed questions. But no, he had to open his mouth and answer them. Now the SBVFT campaign has the media spotlight.

He said they would "go dark" until after the RNC. Now he's out spending his money to defend himself.

If he wants to win, he should fire all his staff and start over. Whoever he's got... they're idiots. Surely they could see this coming. Surely they would advise him on how to avoid all this.

He can still just have his records released and put it all to rest, but no. Let's file a complaint that we can't prove. They're throwing up any and all obstacles they can. They are threatening lawsuits to T.V. stations, radio stations, publishers, and book sellers to intimidate them into NOT advancing the story. This only serves to get people asking... "What story is that? Where can I get this book? What is he hiding? What is he trying to avoid?"

He should fire his advisors and get someone with a little sense. There it is. I offered my advice. Let no one accuse me of not trying to help.
