Seriously, just makes the person posting it look stupid.
If you can't sell your candidate without posting negative shit about the other one then maybe your candidate isn't really that viable to start. And btw both sides does it.

I do try to read positive posts about rallies and discussion about the issues. Every once in awhile I click on a mudslinger thread and it's like
