Pride before the fall

So Kerry was afraid of his college grades and that’s why he refused to sign his special form? If so, then he is even more dense that we all gave him credit for.

He motivated a phenomenal amount of votes (for Bush) because a significant portion of the electorate thought he was not given an Honorable Discharge. He encouraged many more to oppose him because they thought that he was hiding something. In all the world, I don’t know of anyone who could have conceived that he could be hiding NO: THE HORROR! THE UNSPEAKABLE! John Kerry actually: hold on to your hat: was not a straight A student and in fact received a few D grades. Hell: Out here in Tennessee, that would have probably GOT him a few votes. Tell everybody that you were too busy having fun to go to class and got serious in your second year.

So rather than let people know he was (GASP!) A victim of his own youthful indiscretions, he preferred to let most of the nation think he was an “other than honorably” discharged treasonous deceitful snake.

Despite the truism that one would rather let the world think your are a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt: Kerry let his pride get in the way of his ultimate goal. This is not one of those “go ye therefore and do likewise” things...
