And I thought we could discuss the issue BEFORE it became political. Silly of me.

Of course it's silly because the one's tied to BHO will lash out, and those tied to anything but BHO will also. We've already seen that in this short thread. Now there are already ads - just saw one today- about how the republicans are doing horrible things to the middle class and in 2012 we need to stop them. It's not the president running the ad however- but it's not pro democrats or pro tea party or pro libertarians- it's anti republicans.

"We've already seen that"? I think you mean that you've seen it.

When Lyndon Johnson ran for Congress, legend says, he wanted to spread the rumor that his opponent was a pig-f&*ker. Johnson's campaign manager said, "Lyndon, you know he doesn't do that!" Johnson replied, "I know. I just want to make him deny it."

FYI: a negative political ad attacks something real or imagined; and often portrays something in a bad light. A positive ad touts the abilities or accomplishments of the politician. No one has posted any links or anything that attacks or is negative? Only things which tout their "side"?

No you didn't. If you did not want this to be a political discussion you would not have mentioned Obama. You made a very specific effort to make this political. Do not try and pee on my leg and then tell me it's raining.

+1.

I never expect it could be so funny in Politics. I live in CA and if I want to be sure that my vote could make a difference then I need to move State. But I like it here.

A lot of American live in a cocoon and if you bombard them with negatives or lies then they will think it is the TRUTH.
