G-D what an idiot you are! They are both doing it!! That means they're both equally guilty!

Look, I'm sure you're a nice guy, but you're tap dancing. Of course you view "your side" as being less malicious. But beyond that it has no meaning because someone else will say the same thing about their side.

Truth is they both do it and politics is a nasty game. But part of it is at least admitting out loud that you're prejudice towards your side and therefore are likely unable to judge fairly on political topics in general, which is refreshing on some level.

Actually I'm a nasty bastard, but what has that got to do with the question at hand? Tell me that you truly believe that Maddow and Olbermann are as bad as Limbaugh and Beck, or that there is anyone on the left as bad as Rove or the Swift Boaters. Name me some names that match the Koch Brothers.


Holy Crap! Can we get something better than this?

If wanted to read about how Madcow and Olberdumbass are great and Limpballs and Barkingbeckdolt were meanies I'd go read a bunch off whacko sites like dailyKos or democratunderground of puffingtonhost. Raise the bar a little here and quit bleating like sheeple.

F'ing-A, get it together.

To what end would this accomplish anything? You've already admitted you're not objective because your ideology will predetermine your viewpoints. At least you admit it, which is something most ideologues won't do.

So I would say that Limbaugh and Beck were worse than Maddow and Olberman, and you would agree. I would say the opposite to someone who is your political opposite and they would agree. Tit for tat.

I think they all suck equally. How that?

When a liberal group slimed McConnells wife many liberals jumped on the thread here and condemned it. Wish conservatives would do the same.




Have you watched the ad? Pretty silly, but sliming? Don't think so. Just pointing out that she was not campaign ready. Nothing on her website.

Np. You are basically saying that because both sides have done something, that they must be equal. That is your prejudice. Unfortunately it is a prejudice that justifies slime tactics. It would be better if everyone greed that this is wrong and call it out when it happens.

I had a vicerally negative reaction to that ad because it grated on my superannuated eyes and ears as a noisy hash-up of video cuts having nothing to do with policy and demeaning the candidate in a way that I thought beneath an official campaign. However, although the mark I saw on the video appeared to be that of the McConnell campaign, I was not sure, so I phrased it as a question.
In that case I'm not seeing an issue since both sides do it.

Tell you what, whenever I see you post something like this about a Democratic candidate ad then you'll show yourself to be equally disgusted with both sides, which would be the proper disposition to take. Otherwise, anybody can pick sides and point while ignoring their own, which is meaningless.

No surprise we have at least one moron who cannot read and process a statement/thought in context to discern that McConnell is the rancid piece of shit in question.

Obama has his own issues, but McConnell is a fetid stew of political douchebaggery, a festering carbuncle on the anus of American politics, compared to Obama's shortcomings.


Nah, you're just too stupid to understand the truth. That's why people like me are here, to lead little children like you around by the nose and tell you when you're acting dumb. Will you learn from it or not? That's the only question.

He has absolutely nothing of substance to offer so he engages in his near-treasonous crusade to do anything to undo Obama, even if in the process he is also hurting the country.

+1

And he has nothing of substance to attack his opponent on, so he resorts to this stupid song about her name.
