It works. This subject of Kerry's lies about his service, his motivation for service, his "wounds", and what he did before Congress (I was ASA back in '69-71), go to the HEART of a man. I have found that many women find these lies to be reprehensible. All through my years of dating women and being married, I have noticed always that women hate for a man to fake his toughness or virility. Kerry has been doing it for decades, and I know that when women (on the fence voting women) find out about the totality of his lies they will tend to vote for Bush. Women hate men who lie about such things. Not only has Kerry lied about his heroism, he has lied about his senserity (note Christmas in Scambodia- memory seered in his brain)
I think Teraaaayza is just finding out some things she may never have known before, note their recent fight out west (he probably asked for too much allowance).
