A Seventhson Perspective on Kerry and the "Scandal" To Kerry & Friends

[seventhson]

I will say only a few things:

1) If this was total fabrication then I was totally fooled by it and I admit it. I am sorry for that.

2) I think that if there is any evidence out there that she said anything otherwise than what she said in her statement (if there are letters and there IS a video) then the story is not over. But I am not confident of that.

3) If there are no tapes and no letters and no credible friends then Drudge has been discredited beyong repair (which is not such a bad thing under the circumstances). ALL of the other media who reported "facts" also have been hurt.

4) ALL of the above STRENGTHENS Kerry and STRENGTHENS the Dems.

5) Therefore, ultimately, it was probably a good thing.

6) I personally did not even really believe that Kerry would be so stupid. But I felt the same way about Clinton and got terribly burned.

7) I await any information on the alleged tapes and letters. It COULD be that the story has been buried -- but if there are tapes which contradict her statement then the scandal IS far from over and so we must ALL be wary, BUT

8. For now I will, as promised, back off. That does not mean complete silence but I will NOT be trying to drive this story on DU as long as there is no SOLID evidence Ms. Polier is lying. Sold means verifiable statements of those who have actual knowledge (witnesses) or hard evidence such as letters or tapes that can be confirmed.

Thanks to those who graciously accept my apology for being too quck to jump on what I really believed was a likelihood given the allegations of letters, tapes, and the statements of the parents.

I still am opposed to Kerry in the Primaries.

But this event WILL make his candidacy stronger and hastens, I believe, the exit of the BFEE dominance in Washington.

And that IMHO is a good thing.

Shalom/Salaam and Peace Out!!!
