From what I have observed, It looks to me like this is going to be the worst campaign on record when it comes to mudslinging. It truly makes me sick anymore to watch either Republican or Democratics becaus all it ends up with is a complete and total attack on the person character. This election in general has gone away from the issues and it doesnt look like that it will go back anytime soon. I want out that this not a Republican or Democratic problem. This is a problem that is cause by the news media and politicans in general. So if at all possible, when you decide on a candidate be it Bush or Kerry, try to make sure that reason you chose the person you do is because you agree with his views on the issues. The same goes for the people that will vote Nader. Make sure you side with the person on the issues and are not influenced by this ongoing character bashing.

... This is Post 9-11. There are two roads ahead. while at the start of this there was mearly one. After 9-11 do we continue action agianst nations that support terror or just agianst the terrorists. A new issue is going to mean more mudslinging and you can bet the loosing party will feel very bitter towards the winner. Adding more fuel to the Charecter assasination. And regular ppl dont listen to those partisan adds because they are so out of line. If we listened to them on everything Bush=draftdoging Hitler reincarnation. Kerry=traitor fake-hero pro trial layer scumbag.... American poloticians look evil because there oponents make them that way. Been like that for a while.

When has Bush done any character assasination? In this campaign or 2000, for that matter.

John McCain in 2000 and the lack of response to the current attack ads on Kerry is what makes Bush guilty. Plus of the five ads ive seen that Bush endorses, four are attack ads on Kerry. And no matter how you spin it, only one of Kerrys ads even mentions George Bush. THOSE my friend are facts.

And in the background of Bush's campaign a song plays MJ - WHo's bad?
And in the background of Kerry's campaign a song plays Celion Deon - My heart will go on!
And in the background of Nader's campaign a song plays Whooppee I'm gonna make Kerry lose.
Politics is always dirty no matter who but it seems the only character assasination is against Bush. As for the dirt on Kerry I'll leave that to be decided on Election day.
and the lack of response to the current attack ads on Kerry is what makes Bush guilty.
Like just the other day Bush denouced all 527 ads on both sides of the line. While Kerry has not and swirms around the issue. MoveOn.org is a 527 group connected to the Democrats by European George Soros an overly insane Liberal. Bush is not connected to the Swift Boat ads he didn't have to denounce them at all but he did. Kerry attacked John McCain when he stomped on Vietnam vets back in the 70's.
Evil, dark,ohhh difficult to watch, whoooo ouch that hurt a bunch. :rolleyes:

I forgot about the McCain thing. Thats debatable tho, I think it was justified. Im not a big fan of John McCain, though.
As for the Swift Boat ads, if that is what you are referring to, you are wrong. Bush has come out and denounced them, and praised Kerry for his military service (there is a man of humility, if there ever was one... can you picture Kerry coming out and denouncing Michael Moore???). The only ads I have seen by Bush attacking Kerry attacking his vorting record. Do you not think Kerry's voting record is relevant to his run for presidency?? That is what they are attacking him on... if a candidate cant bring up voting records then what the heck is the point of even having an election? let's just put their names in a hat.
