Why the democrats campaign is so dirty ?

Question

H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E....To spell it, Democrats pretend themselves open-minded, educated, but I find their smear campaign about Palin's daughter disgusting ...

Do you approve of the method, the democrats have been conducting ? As democrats, what do you think about ? Obama has said a lot of things, but behind his words, some of his counselors use Palin's daughter as a hate tool against her mother...

Answer 1

Stop accusing the democrats of things they haven't done.

"CHILDREN ARE OFF LIMITS"

-Barack Obama

Answer 2

I guess you were not old enough to remember the 2000 election when the republicans swift boated John McCain.  Ignorance is bliss.

Answer 3

I don't see your reality here. The Obama camp has been kind and classy, referring to Palin's family as "off limits".

Answer 4

Aww what's your source anyone in the Obama/Biden camp have said anything about the issue. Anything? Obama and Biden actually came out and said they were off limits, and had other strong remarks, Obama said if anyone in his camp touches this issue they will be fired. Read a book. Moron.

Answer 5

If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you said — unless you were, in fact, talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder.

Answer 6

Your candidate for VP is caught in the biggest example of hyprocricy of the century.  We deserve to discuss it honey.

Answer 7

Who pioneered the use of smear politics?  The GOP under Lee Atwater, and his acolyte, Karl Rove.

If you think it's disgusting, then don't use it against Democrats!

Answer 8

THEY ARE

THEY ARE NOT

REPEAT

THEY ARE NOT....where have you seen the campaign smear her

Obama clearly stated on national TV...Families MUST be left alone

BUT guess YOU never seen it

Answer 9

You must be crazy......since Obama entered the race the Repubes have done NOTHING but bad-mouth him.  Spread extremely hatefully and hurtful rumors about the whole Obama family.  

You really need to check your facts - the democrats are doing just what the Repubes have been doing......campaigning!

ANSWER: YES I approve of the campaign Obama is running!

Answer 10

THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT HAVE A SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST PALIN! THE MEDIA IS THE ONE SPREADING THE TRUTH ABOUT HER FAMILY..

Answer 11

Simple, their fundamental beliefs are so screwed up, they have to play dirty in order to get people to think what they are saying is true so they will vote for them.

Answer 12

Put a sock in it.  Ever since January the neokooks have been slinging mud at Hillary and Barack, none of it true.  Now we have a "family values" candidate with family values issues and you expect gentleness?  Why?

Answer 13

Remember, one party wants to unite people under similar values and they are made fun of. One party wants to fight. Fight everything and tear it down. Take the power. It's all about power. Democrats think by saying "we're not Bush" it is a platform? No, sorry. Try again.

Answer 14

It's a symptom of manupulation.

Funny, I used to be a Obama supporter UNTIL i looked past his hype and really listened to what he was saying. It's downright scary when you get down to the meat and potatoes of his speeches.

By transferring so much power to government, we are inching dangerously close to total governmental control. Last I checked, that was called COMMUNISM. I thought communism was BAD.

Democrats don't seem to understand that their policies remove personal responsibility from the individual and make it the responsibility of government to fix.

Answer 15

Are you nuts? After the distgusting way republicans have attacked democrats the past 8 years. Even as we speak McCain is putting up his nastiest ads yet in the battleground state.

Answer 16

What the h**l are you talking about?  The people posting on here are not "The Obama Campaign."

What is this "smear campaign" you're talking about?  Any examples?  Links?  Where is it happening?  Who belonging to Obama's camp is engaging in it?  What has Obama said about it?

Or are you making this up?

Answer 17

I agree with most here, Obama is actually running one of the cleanest campaigns I can remember, so I'm not sure what dirty tricks you are talking about.  

And, since you brought it up (even though Obama is steering clear, I don't have to), didn't the Republicans invent "family values"?  I can't count the number of times I heard that they were the party for family values.  Now the Pres. candidate came home to sleep around on his wife and leave her for an attractive, 20-year younger woman set to inherit millions, and the VP candidate got pregnant out of wedlock and then had her 17-year old hold the baby in the family photo to cover her own out-of-wedlock pregnancy.  I know no one is perfect, but if you're going to preach it, practice it.  

Neither Obama nor "the democrats" can be blamed for the moral failures of the Republican candidates.  

Answer 18

Excuse me? What's dirty about Obama's campaign?

If i'm not mistaken it's McCain running all the mindless ad's about Obama being similar to Paris Hilton and McCain supporters claiming that Obama isn't American and is a terrorist out of desperation.

Answer 19

There's not any concrete evidence to that, simply passing the blame.  Regardless of how it got out, which we all know Obama doesn't have to stoop to that level, its out and we just need to deal with it.

Answer 20

They're not smearing her...WE ARE by continuing to talk about it.  Obama already said family was off-limits (although the McCain campaign was forced to fall in line after the Palin pick since they were smearing to their heart's content until now).

Answer 21

Please, give an example of these smear tactics.  I see a lot of reporting of the facts.  Palins own mother-in-law doesn't know if she will vote for her.

Answer 22

I think you hit the nail on the head HYPOCRITES! I mean they are not for women's rights.. They are for Liberal Women's Rights... Even then they tend to fall short of their promise(Hillary 08)

They are utterly pathertic....

Answer 23

Because Republicans give us the dirt. They nominated Palin, we didn't.

Tell me a lot of Republicans haven't been Racist.  

Answer 24

I think this question makes YOU a hypocrite. McCain has been playing dirty since day one.



If the same situation happpened to one of Obama's daughters (assuming they were older), Republicans would be giving him SO. MUCH. ****. for it.

Answer 25

I have every right to question the judgment of a woman who knowingly throws her daughter at a pack of wolves.

By accepting the VP nomination, Palin showed that she did not care what this would do to her daughter at this stressful time. Seriously, if your daughter was 17 and pregnant, would you want her to be on the nationals stage? Held under such scrutiny?

The Obama Campaign has done nothing to contribute to this mess. Nothing.

Answer 26

Obama actually defended Palin by saying that it shouldn't be part of politics...I think you're the hypocrite.

Answer 27

I could care less if she's pregnant. It's none of my business. Teens will do whatever the h**l they want to do. It has no bearing on how good of a parent someone is.

That being said, I find it very hypocritical that conservatives are labeling her as a "christian warrior" for being 17 and pregnant.

If it were anyone else, they would crucify her and her parents for being "morally bankrupt".

Shame on both the democrats and republicans.

Answer 28

Are you talking about how the Republicans try to smear Obama as a racist Islamic Muslim?

You need to wake up and realize both parties are guilty.

Answer 29

Hey! look who is having a party here when people are fleeing from hurriCAIN? These people are having party to celebrate mcCAIN's convention.

RNC Lobby Party

Answer 30

WHAT?!!!! Are you kidding me?!! After the months of lies and smears Republicans have been spreading all over the country.

Sweetie, if you can't take it, don't dish it out.

And by the way, it isn't the Obama campaign since he specifically stated that families are off limits. Sounds like another Republican smear tactic. REPUgnant.

Answer 31

Obama has not issued any statement concerning Palin's daughter. There are millions of people that support Obama. They have free speech rights and may make statements about her. However,t he campaign has done nothing of the sort.
