Why is it when a democrat talks about his opponent, he's highlighting the differences?

Question

but when a republican does it, it's a negative attack?

Answer 1

I bet to differed....what about all that Palin baby c**p?  is that an attack on issues? NOT!

so try something else bad to say about republicans..lol...democrats are shown to be worse!

Answer 2

Because dems lose when they have to discuss the issues. All they can say is what they won't do and talk about what the other person has or hasn't done. Dems never say what they will do unless it's just a platitude. So, they have to defend this at all costs. It's all they have.

Answer 3

This isn't a question, it's a statement. Why don't you try asking an intelligent question, maybe you'll learn something.

Answer 4

Agreed.  That's why I found Lieberman's speech (which chided partisan politics) ironic, and the repeated tone through the RNC that we're not republicans or democrats- we're americans.  With all the "america first" signs in the audience- it is without a doubt the republicans that are fostering the partisanship.

Answer 5

Why because our friends in the Democratic Party are just SO much more ENLIGHTENED that we poor farmin', church-goin', gun-totin' Red State folk !!

I can't WAIT until this election is over !! Part of me ACTUALLY wants Obama to win... so he can s***w UP and we can giggle and say "Not as easy as you thought there eh?"

Interestingly here, I see BOTH sides behaving poorly... half the folks on Y!A are referring to "McSame-Failin" and other such fine sophomoric terms, while others try to KEEP claiming that Senator Obama is a closeted Muslim.

GROW UP BOYS and GIRLS and TRY to conduct an intelligent debate / discussion.

Answer 6

because liberals are ALWAYS the victims. havent you learned that yet?

Answer 7

This is just my personal opinion, but it seems as if republicans are scared right now. After eight years of horrible Bush policies, republicans know that there is a very good chance that we will elect a Democrat into office. So while giving their speeches or doing an interview, republicans want to make Democrats look like the bad guys when in all reality, we're all going to have to come together to face the issues that lie ahead.  

Answer 8

LMAO.....You nailed that one out of the park. I thought I was the only one on here that was thinking that this morning. The Democrats trashed McCain for 5 days last week, trying to link him to Bush. That was fine. Biden made his speech slamming McCain, that was fine. For three days they have slammed Palin on abstinence because her daughter was knocked up, and then whine when she hit back! LMFAO!

Answer 9

the cons do it to deflect attention from their incompetence.in 6 yrs republican rule has left the country damaged.

Answer 10

lol good point. I've noticed that. It's because the average college student votes democrat, and they like to think the democrats they're voting for are enlightened, smarter individuals, and they would never result to negative tactics to get into the white house! They are doing smart debating, to get to the core of what America really needs! lol...its pretty dorky really.
