At least one friend had publicily stated that Kerry had no opinion about the warone way or another whe he came home and did not raise any of the issues until he was advised that it would help him get elected. This is the same guy who was circling around his recently deceased "friend's" extremely rich wife right after he died. We have gheard this women speak. She is clearly no catch without the cash......lol. am i missing something here? lol

If you were around at the time of the Winter Soldier testimony, you'd realize that event could not be seen as a good political move even by the most optimistic antiwar nut.
The country was completely polarized (has that changed?) over the war and the hatred toward those against it resulted in poltical suicide. Advising a prospective politician, most advisors would have said: steer clear for a couple of years, focus on local issues and let the passions die.
