Why all the personal political attacks on both sides?

Question

BOTH parties are engaged in mudslinging towards the other party's candidates. What ever happened to discussing the issues?

Answer 1

There was a day when a tradesman who could start a business on his own work and integrity.Always do the job to the best of your ability, always pay the help and you were going places. Now if you want to do it honestly, you will find it near impossible to compete.The salesman will succeed where the competent but honest tradesman will fail. The times have changed and the tools are different. Honor is no longer a redeeming quality. The tactics have changed in politics. It is what the crowd likes to hear. They do not actually know their perspective trades. but they put on one h**l of a show! I am the most honest man with thee most accurate answers. They won't even let me speak. I know what is wrong with health care. I know what is wrong with the economy. I know there is solutions that many will not like to hear. But A true leader with humility is what we need. A leader with backbone and humility. We need a leader you only read about in fairytales of knights and round tables. We need a passive warrior. We need a peaceful soldier.We need a caring father. we need not a politician, but a man of honor and whatever his god is. We need a man without an agenda. He is out there. We need a man willing to sacrifice his nobility for the greater good of the people.If you don't even ask for him, he will not come. If i were to choose on honor? I would definatley say McCain showed true passion. I would also say Obama put himself in harms way of the public eye to try to improve the world. I think everyman holds some form of honor. We need the one who actually answers what is the plan on immagration. We want to know what is to be done about oil, long term and short plan. What to do with our nations failing health and healthcare. I am an asperger 5 full functioning autistic sevant.Ask me how to redirect our work force to a productive future. Ask me how to attain a better world peace. This is all I have studied. Life and the answers we need. Good luck finding me. Most people think me a simple clown. This is simply to protect the answers.rant rant rant.

Answer 2

I know what you mean, and it's sad. For some reason people think that the issues are people's private business

Edit: Seriously where are the smart and logical people on this website who can give fair answers without being bashed from both sides?
