Yeah, uh, nothing "political at all." Yeesh.

Umm, sorry to remind you, but it was John F. Kerry who decided

HEY, SMART GUY, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT JOHN KERRY DECIDED, ARE WE?
WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT WHAT JOHN KERRY DID?

Because you were interested in talking about what critics of Kerry were saying.
To understand their motivation of setting the record straight as they saw it, it
is important to know what Kerry did first. There is no need to get excited and
shout.



In 2004, a bill to extend unemployment benefits failed because of one vote.
Kerry didn't even bother to show up.

*shaking my head, baffled.* This is not a John Kerry debate, is it?

To unbaffle yourself, reread what you wrote:

" Ah, right. Just happened to organize and go public during an election year,
specifically for the purpose of discrediting, gee, a presidential candidate.

Again that was merely a direct response to Kerry's claims.
