In my opinion, neither party invented, or has a monopoly on, lies, dirty tricks, etc. Sometimes one party tends to be a little better at lying, cheating, stealing etc. but both parties would steal candy from a baby if it meant their candidate would win the election.

What crap has Obama himself slung?
Who are you talking to? Can't be me cause I never once said Obama slung anything. I said left.
ps- this thread is about the assumption that McCain slung from the right, and we all know that isn't true. It's an overreaction from the right. Left does not = Obama. Right does not = McCain.

I can't wait till the end of this crap. :doh:
There will be no end. The 2012 race begins on the Wednesday after the election and all this crap will basically continue. It started w/ Clinton and the Repubs hammering him about BS and it has continued w/ Bush and the Dems hammering him about BS. It is our political way now. The thought that either one of these guys is going to take residence in the Whitehouse and set forth to get everyone to work together and sing Kumbaya is laughable. There are too many scorched earth politicians and advisers in DC to ever let that happen again.
It is our system now. Sigh.

It's naive and dishonest to assert that unless something comes from Obama it doesn't matter. Each side is now a massive political machine involving thousands of people who constantly work to discredit the other side. Most of these people can't even be controlled by the party leaders in any real way.
Bloggers sit behind a computer and throw bombs all day long. Think Obama or McCain can stop it? I doubt it.
Every major politician has at least 4 or 5 senior advisors. Think those people just fall in line when a party leader says to do something? No. They are looking out for their own ass first then thier boss's and then maybe the party.
All this crap has to end up in someone's lap. That's why even though Obama hasn't been the one out there throwing bombs about Palin it ends in his lap. Same for McCain.
