We criticize them all day long. Take a look around the forum. Criticism is fine. I draw the line at unjustifiable bashing. Especially when it is bashing or smearing them with leftist propaganda.
I said as much in a prior post to Dales: that I have seen anti-GOP criticism on FR. My point is that it is a GOOD THING to let the politician know they still need to answer to the people. Like I said, no point in electing an R who wants to vote another Ginsberg on the SCOTUS.
Frankly, bashing is not desirable, I was not advocating a bash anything and everything free for all. I think excessive hyperbole shows a weekness in one's argumentation.
