6. Make it easy for the GOP to decide
which smears are going to be the most effective, which ones will be hardest to refute, etc.

I don't mind it if a person says,"I don't like Candidate X because they want to do this with health care; my candidate, Candidate Y, has what I consider a better plan." That can open real discussion. But smears and flamefests are counterproductive.

24. The GOP doesn't need amatuer help for that....
If anyone thinks what's on this message board is nasty, then they're naive. Republicans have far worse in store, once the Dems have (yet again) chosen a vulnerable candidate.

11. ain't it great when they have to resort to smears instead behaving like adults
and discussing and debating the issues why their respective candidate stands on those issues, and why that candidate would be better for the country

Of course that will then evolve into who started the "smears" first, and we end up in another vicious loop acomplishing nothing

If enough personal attacks are propagated, there will be a point when the enventual nominee will have no guarantee of unity among the Democrats

If someone is trying to persuade someone else to adopt their candidates point of view, slurring THEIR candidate will NEVER get their support

12. It's called "politics."
And the GOP is doing it to their candidates, too. It's one of the many ways people reach decisions. If we all just said wonderful things about every candidate, then Adolph Hitler (were he alive, of course) could run as a dem and you'd be demanding we not discuss his bad attributes because it would give the GOP ammunition. Nonsense

26. Look who's scolding...one
the hillarys. You're not as bad at this as the ones I have on ignore because they blatantly lie, but, you're not exempt from your own advice.

It started when we were called hillary haters because some of us didn't like her record and now it's escalated with hill and bill taking the lead..too late to call in the attack dogs.
