Mark, you are nowhere near being an undecided voter; I really don’t think he was expecting to sway your vote with that (or any other) ad!<BR/><BR/>On the general subject of negative campaigning though, you may all be interested in <A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6085922.stm" REL="nofollow">this article</A> on the BBC News site. We may all agree that negative campaigns are a bad idea, but while we let ourselves be swayed by such things, campaign managers are going to keep on producing them…Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992032099109290541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1162209711885847762006-10-30T07:01:00.000-05:002006-10-30T07:01:00.000-05:00It's pretty difficult NOT to smear Democrats becau...It's pretty difficult NOT to smear Democrats because there is nothing positive to say about them.Lone Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278448546799358207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1162209256088190862006-10-30T06:54:00.000-05:002006-10-30T06:54:00.000-05:00"The politicians all make speechesAnd the newsmen ...<I>"The politicians all make speeches<BR/>And the newsmen all take notes<BR/>And I wonder who would lead us<BR/>If none of us would vote..."</I><BR/><BR/>~Larry Norman<BR/><BR/>We all agree we're sick of it and all are often forced in to making one of those horrible decisions.<BR/><BR/>Our system is broke...Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1162206527882791992006-10-30T06:08:00.000-05:002006-10-30T06:08:00.000-05:00I can't disagree with you on that one, Dan.

Both parties are guilty of tearing down their opponent rather than building themselves up.<BR/><BR/>In fact, I think everyone everywhere is sick of that tactic. <BR/><BR/>But what can you do? You can't just not vote for anyone, and they all do it. If we refuse to vote for anyone that uses those tactics, no one would get any votes at all.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1162185691051167102006-10-30T00:21:00.000-05:002006-10-30T00:21:00.000-05:00Sounds like the voters may just disagree with you....Sounds like the voters may just disagree with you. Here in Kentucky, our Republican Congresswoman (who's always been in lockstep with Bush) has begun to call for Rumsfeld to be fired. Republicans across the country are distancing themselves from Bush.<BR/><BR/>And with good reason, I suspect.<BR/><BR/>But we'll know better next week.<BR/><BR/>And don't forget smear campaigns are not done by Dems only - indeed, from what I've seen, they've only returned a bit of tit for the Republican's tat.Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1162078819330014732006-10-28T19:40:00.000-04:002006-10-28T19:40:00.000-04:00Never liked Webb, even when he was in the Reagan A...Never liked Webb, even when he was in the Reagan Administration.
