(1,245 posts)To whit: let's say that Hillary and Bill had gotten divorced, circa 1999 ... do any of us believe that the GOP wouldn't RELENTLESSLY roll in proverbial mud i.e. publicize the most intimate of details, in a quest for ostensible 'transparency' ... in the present election?
Because all the apocalyptic nonsense aside ... I absolutely KNOW ...that they would, utterly shamelessly ... do so.
Furthermore, in terms of what it might 'yield' ... you actually have no idea whether it would only be 'he said/she said gossip' ...
In reality, it might provide seriously pertinent information in terms of guiding the voters to an informed decision ... NOW.
While I don't like the idea of 'stooping to their level' ... at the same time I realize ... the fact that we won't ... is 95% of the reason why we lose so friggin' often, when we really should NOT ...
Maybe the ends justify the means sometimes ... after all, these aren't medical records we're talking about here ... and since we all know how f***ing SACROSANCT the GOP considers THOSE ... we wouldn't want to violate someones PRIVACY.
You see how I keep TRYING to agree with you ... but I really can't ... because ... GOP?
I hope you do
