Mud slinging. Is my memory faulty?

She did some mud slinging during her first speach and i will say a lot of the things that were said about Obama and Biden did get me a little mad. But i guess we need to look at the RNC and the DNC as a pep rally for that party. I think of the DNC would have known about Sarah Palin before the DNC they might have made fun of her hunting and being a small time mayor. I really think with these 52 days left before we vote we should stop most of the mud slinging because we need to know about the issues. if obama and biden go on the attack of palin the party might crash and burn. I dont there should be "hearts and flowers" but lets go after Palin for having a husband that works for an oil company. Do we really need someone in th white house with an oil company in their back pocket? these are things we need to think about and talk about with out bring up lipstick or any of those childish things. Obama needs to make sure he does not take too much of the high road because Gore and Kerry both made that mistake.

I think the issue isn't simply the attacks, but the nature of the attacks. I don't think the Obama campaign has launched any attacks against her that I would flat out call unacceptable. I don't think the "lipstick on a pig" comment was intended to insult her and I personally found Biden's comment about her being better looking to be amusing and innocent. The disgusting smears have been coming from liberals all over the place, but not directly from the Obama campaign as far as I know.

It's politics. Everyone should expect everyone else to sling mud and get dirty.

Unfortunately the majority of most political campaigns is the mud slinging now days. I really wish both sides would quit and get back to the issues, but then if they did that, the inconsistencies and lack of substance in the campaigns would become obvious! LOL.

That's pretty much half of every campaign. I'm sure that the rage will soon die off her so we can get back to the real issues. She's just the center of attention right now. Well, Happy MyLotting!

i do agree that there is much mudslinging going on. you are right. sarah palin downplaying obama as a community organizer is appauling. If it weren't for community organizers we would have millions of americans living on the streets with no food to eat. while the government may do things for it's people it doesn't do enough. its people like Obama who have been most beneficial. i went through a period of time in my life that i was homeless and living on the streets. my mom was a working single mother and the government did nothing for her. it was a community organizer. i have more respect for them than i do th egovernment. the fact that she would be so disrespectful shows that she doesn't america's best interest at heart.

I guess we both missed the hearts and flowers...lol! I've never seen a candidate be so shielded from any questions or criticism in all my life. I'm sorry, but raising questions about claims she'd made herself repeatedly is NOT the same as attacking her. Repeating something you've heard about the claims she's made for the sake of discussion, even if it's not 100% accurate is also not an attack, it's opening something up to debate. An example of what I mean by this is the recent debate over whether Palin left Wasilla with a surplus or in debt; To repeat what's been out there for a few weeks now isn't personally attacking her. If someone claims she left Wasilla $22 million in debt and that figure actually is closer to $18 million, that's not an attack, it's not a "lie", it's just a slight inaccuracy. Basically, she called herself a pit-bull with lipstick, did she not? What about that would lead us to believe she's fragile and must be handled with great care - or "deference" as McCain spokesman demanded? Annie
