(12,008 posts)So, this guy as a candidate doesn't look the way you'd like your candidate to look in a photo-op, so he's a bad guy. More than likely, I think that people will see the negative things they want to see in photos of candidates. Republican voters could probably look at those photos and say all sorts of awesome things they see in them and say loads of negative things about Obama photos. It's all fabricated bullshit. We don't have to fabricate negative talking points about Romney. We just have to listen to what he says and know that it's completely fucking nuts. This sort of weird fabrication of a personal attack seems really out of line to me. Is this what we want for our democracy? Is this sort of thing part of being an informed electorate?
