You have got to read this editorial on OpinionEditorials.com.
It starts out with this:
A whirlwind seems to have engulfed the Kerry’s campaign blowing it off course and threatening to submerge this floundering vessel. Senator Kerry as a young naval officer never faced a tempest like the one he has encountered coming upon him with the fury of a Hurricane Charley in waves of criticism lashing at his actions both during and after his brief service as a swift boat commander. Judging by the Democrat’s furious reaction to this unexpected change in weather in poll ratings, this political storm of rebuttal is doing some real damage to the facade that has been the Kerry campaign. The public must also be bewildered and wondering why Kerry’s Vietnam involvement of over 30 years ago should rate such high importance in this year’s campaign. It matters for two reasons. One, because John Kerry says it does and two, because this deep-seated emotional drama has given the voters a glimpse into just what John Kerry’s “One Amerika” might entail.
Then there is this:
Why does this remain a fervent issue after 33 years? Because John Kerry remains unrepentant of the harm and disgrace that he personally has brought upon so many who honorably served their country’s interests. His small-mindedness and selfish ambition prevented him from seeing the enormous good that was within his power to do.
And it just gets better.
Seriously - click on over and take the time to read it. Yes, it's an editorial. It's someone's opinion. But it's one that I agree with, and one that is worth putting out there for others to see.

Still a good read, though.
