democrats and republicans fighting a dirty election
Trauma-san:
Well, you may think the republicans are fighting dirty, but it's hard to say they're stooping lower than Edwards and kerry bringing up that Cheney's daughter is Gay on national t.v. That's pretty fucking dirty right there. Hows about Edwards saying that if Kerry was elected, people like Christopher Reeves are going to "Get up out of that chair and walk again!" thereby insinuating that George Bush killed Christopher Reeves. that's pretty fucking dirty, as well.
In my opinion, the dems have been much more low, but I'll concede my bias probalby plays a role and say they're both being very dirty in their campaigning.

John Kerry's mentioning of Mary Cheney being gay is the worst thing you can point to? In case you didn't realize it, most people already knew Mary Cheney was gay, and Dick Cheney has said in campaign speeches that he has a gay daughter. Its not like he brought up something embarassing no one ever knew. And why should it be an 'attack' to mention someone's daughter is gay, unless there is a problem with being gay. The Republican response to Kerry's comment was beyond homophobic.
Both campaigns have been negative, and at times Kerry has said things that are exagerated. There is no doubt about that. But that does not put them on equal ground.
You know what I consider negative. Running a campaign that is based on childish name calling "flipflopper" "liberal." Running a campaign where you repeatedly twist, and manipulate your opponents words in order to brand him into something you want him to be. I think it is negative to slander individual who speaks out against your administration as they did to Clarke, Wilson, and others. I think it is negative to screen your audience before ever speech to avoid any dissenters. I think it is negative to arrest individuals who attend a campaign event wishing to speak out against your administrations wrong doing. I think it is negative to manipulate people all across the country, who wish to see american prosperity continue, into supporting an Administration will sacrifice our prosperity for their power.
Today George Bush gave another $140 billion dollar tax break. John McCain called it "the worst example of the influence of special interests that I have ever seen." I am not sure of the consequences of "four more years" will be, but they will be yours to bear, not mine.

Dick Cheney can say what the fuck he wants about his daughter, its his not Kerrys.
What Kerry said was a cheap political shot trying to prove that the vise-president and president both have different opinions on Gay marriage. How come Kerry had to mention Cheyneys daughter was gay? How come he didn't mention Elton John. Or How come Kerry didn't mention his good Friend Andrew Stobs who is gay

To bad McCain supports the president and will be his next Sectary of Defense.

A republican supports another republican. That is really impressive.
Feel free to browse my other post that lists republicans that support Kerry.
And either way, I never said McCain supports Kerry. I said McCain criticized the lastest tax break. You may want to read the article I posted that also.
