Of course it's politically motivated, but I'd bet money they are not all democrats. I happen to be a registered republican, but I'm voting for Kerry because I think he's a better choice than Bush.
There is a huge difference between the SwiftVets and the retired Generals supporting Kerry.
The SwiftVets are motivated by a 30 year old rage focused on a single person. Their claims have largely been debunked or countered sufficiently for most people. They are the GOP's Michael Moore. The SwiftVets are obcessed with the legitimacy of a Purple Heart from 1968 etc...
The Brass supporting Kerry are motivatied by a current dissatisfaction with the present Administration. Their issues are real and shared by at least half of the country. They are concerned with troops being killed in Najaf
today.
