Anyone else think the approach of linking everyone you dislike with devil de jour, Ron Paul

16. True, regarding all the Democrats in Congress who have worked with him

Once you start comparing everyone whose policies you don't like to Hitler then you have to have start looking at anyone who ever associated with them. And here we find that Grayson and Kucinich and many other Dems have worked with and said nice things about Paul. This is why it is a losing strategy.

For me, this is the most failed and despicable political tactic. I despised and railed against it when it was used against Kerry and so many other great Democrats. I have not changed my mind on this. Fight your political opponents on the issues, that's all most people want to hear. Leave these despicable tactics to Rove and the GOP and expose them when they do it.

But we lose the tool of being able to attack THEM for these political smear campaigns once we start emulating them. The last people I want to emulate since I find them to be without morals or ethics of any kind, are Republicans.

We have the upper hand on the issues. This kind of garbage only distracts from the important issues that need to be raised and focused on and sold by Democrats.
