Why Ron Paul attracts some liberals.

85. Whatever, Democrats respect the man, that was my point. If he's such a Hitler or whatever

the latest charges are, then we have to question everyone who ever said a nice word about him, don't we? This is a failed strategy, because see where it leads? It leads to having to constantly try to defend the PERSONAL ATTACKS, rather than focus on the issues. It's a waste of time. We hated it when the Swift Boaters and their network of dirty tricksters did it to Kerry and if we now are going to adapt these strategies, then let's not complain when they are used against Democrats next time.

I want all dirty tricks and smear campaigns, along with the money that pays for them, OUT of politics, always have and always will. They serve no purpose other than to further sink the level of political discourse into the gutter. Not one mind will be changed by any of this.

What could change minds? Give Paul supporters an alternative. Give them candidates that are speaking about the issues they care about. That's how you defeat a political opponent and keep the public focused on what matters, leading to a more educated and involved electorate.

I would make all these bought and paid for dirty, political smear campaigns illegal and clean up our political system. Right now it is mired in low level, boring, unimportant, mean-spirited, schoolyard rhetoric and is turning so many people off politics. Most voters are very, very turned off by by the politics of personal destruction and it is keeping good people from running themselves. Who wants to risk being called Hitler, or have their integrity questioned as we have seen so often, now appartently coming from both sides?

Attack candidates on the issues, that's all I want to know about right now. The rest is irrelant, just noise and will never win a single vote so I don't see the purpose of it all.
