Thank you for addressing this subject. I find this extremely true, especially in the case of election politics.
It has been extremely difficult to find quality candidates to run for office when they know that their entire family is at risk of left wing smear tactics.
These prospective candidates know that the allegations heaped upon them by the democratic party do not have to be true to be effective in destroying both their professional credibility and their family. Even their children are no longer exempt.

This is disgusting. This is akin to what they are doing to Rick Scott. Scott was never charged, never convicted, nothing, yet he is treated like a criminal by the Democrats. I am an attorney and know what they can do for you as I ran for re-election to the State Legislature in my state only to be attacked in much the same was by very liberal Republicans. I understand now what happened. We now have a socialist in the State Legislature as a Republican because of these tactics. Let’s beat the heck out of these Democrats. I am very upset. I hope both of these men are going to hit this right on the head. Their races have the money to do so, I did not. God bless both of them. I will be praying for them. Prayer can do more than anything else, and then we need to act upon those prayers.

Things could be worse – you could be in South Carolina, an essentially one-party state, where those who want power (Democrats, really) are thrown into the same party with those who want to prevent the abuse of power (ordinary Republicans).

What would help? Overturning the Supreme Court case of NY v. Sullivan would allow public figures to sue for slander and libel. Just the threat of their being able to do so, would help deter those people who have assets from engaging in lies and smears and would also make running for office something decent people might be willing to subject their families to.

Just a thought from a survivor….

Where they make an accusation, we find in them the guilt. Any good Democrat would want the rapist freed – if not later, sooner.

They keep going back to the same old tactics because they work. We need to come back immediately after the stupid attack is made and turn it on them. We are just more upright and can’t believe they said that because we know the story, but others don’t. Explain and then attack them -hate it, but it works.

I have to take issue with Terry H’s “dumb voter” assessment.

This is the identical argument that Obama and his Marxist abettors in Congress are using for explaining the electorate at large rejecting his major policies, unprecedented government expansion and massive deficit spending.

The voters are wising up to this cabal and their shameless antics. November 2 will confirm that.

CONFIRMED: COLUMNIST EUGENE ROBINSON HATES WHITE CONSERVATIVES
http://heir2freedom.blogspot.com/2010/10/confirmed-columnist-eugene-robinson.html

I’m living in Colorado now and can tell you voters are being absolutely inundated with lying or misleading television ads attacking Ken Buck. I’d guesstimate the number of ads against Ken Buck ( I don’t say “for Bennett” because Michael Bennett appears to be running an almost entirely negative campaign – have maybe once seen an ad that actually talks positively about him) outnumber the pro-Buck ads at least 10-1 and probably more like 20-1. And – on the rare occassions I have seen a pro-Buck ad it has ALWAYS been followed by one attacking him.

Most of the ads are payed for by the Democratic Campaign Committee – Bennett has outraised Buck by only about half a million dollars but Buck is getting buried in terms of television presence.

Anyway – just wanting to underline Eric’s point about attacks on Ken Buck – and let folks know Democrats have fully invested in this race.

The NRSC is almost as much out of touch with the American people as the liberal leftist elites are…don’t expect them to do the honorable thing for a Conservative candidate.

Can RS launch a moneybomb for Ken Buck to counteract the negative TV ads?

This TV ad currently running On Ken Buck is on the verge of going viral. It has been viewed 61,000 times on Youtube the past 7 days. Tweet it and share it via email and Facebook. It is powerful and it is generating sorely needed money to keep it on the air. If you want to help Colorado take a moment to spread this video.
