The only reason that they are flinging mud and shit is to distract the less intelligent so that they will vote to raise taxes on the poor, then they will take away health care, abortion & birth control rights, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, public schools & libraries, the right to sue, clean air & water, voting rights, and on and on ad nauseum.

I hope you're happy. All we get out of it is more salacious stories on the news. This certainly isn't going to get anybody elected who will do a better job at protecting ALL rights, including the only one near and dear to single-issue voters.
