This is now getting ridiculous when it has reached this sewer-level point.
NOTE TO THOSE WHO THINK THIS WINS VOTES: There are independent voters such as myself who truly will listen to all candidates, even those with which we disagree strongly, and make up our minds accordingly. This kind of speculative crap does not BELONG in American politics.
It may delight those who already see X, Y or Z as evil incarnate (because X.Y and Z dare disagree with them on issues so anything can be disseminated to take them out) but there are some voters who will make sure that the side that promotes this kind of bilge doesn’t get their votes on Election Day. Look at recent elections and you’ll find that independent voters should not be totally written off.
This goes for Democrats, too. But this allegation is about the worst you can make.
And some of these folks bitterly complain that Democrats have “Bush derangement syndrome?”NOTE: Why not take Ms. Clinton on in the area of issues? As was seen last week, there are honorable areas for authentic debate.
UPDATE: Rick Moran of Right Wing Nuthouse (a site that needs a new name) looks at the “Bush Derangement Syndome” that he dislikes and sees its roots in….Clinton derangement syndrome. A must read for all sides.
