This year national politics has really gotten
dirty. It disgusts me to see how close to the gutter most left-wing political
activity has gotten. Liberals are not the only one guilty of sleaze politics,
but mostly Liberals have engaged in it.
The most important concept in any warfare or
contest is that the contest must be conducted using logic and not emotion.
When important decisions are made based on emotions then the risk is that
those decisions may be incoherent and irrational. As I see it now with the
major competing political groups engaging in sleazy, smear politics the real
loser is the American voter.
Much of the emotion and smearing is a result of
the 2000 election, but it has deeper roots in the Clinton smearing and may go
further back in time.
