"Although this year's level of rumors has been ferocious and bizarre, the phenomenon of whisper campaigns, misinformation and smears is as much a part of our nation's roots as elections themselves.
Thomas Jefferson was accused of being anti-Christian; his opponents warned that he would destroy the religious fabric and values of the country and promote an orgy of rape, incest, and adultery.
John Adams, opponents said, was pro-monarchy and was planning on marrying his son to the daughter of King George III." -- Associated Press
It's sad that political parties feel the need to slander others thinking it will only help THEM to get ahead.
ReplyDeleteI have looked at many past campaigns to see who slung the least mud to the others. Those are usually the better ones if they gave NO response to what was being said about them and gave NO mud slinging ad back to their opponents. Those with the least response to all that drama can turn out to be the one most serious about doing a good job.
Unfortunately, there are few, if any, who has NOT took part in those ad smear campaigns.
