text: I have always felt that the slander and smear tactics that politicians use steer away from the actual question of "What can THEY do to help the country?" You, as a politician, telling me what this other candidate did or didn't do has nothing to do with what you're going to do. If anyone follows politics, they would already know what that person has done or not done politically. Just once, I would like to see a candidate not talk about his opponent in a demeaning way and talk about what they plan to do to help this country. Don't insult our intelligence by trying to distract us like little children. When you finish bashing your opponent, I still want to know what YOU'RE going to do.
