I am troubled by this "Oh Politics are so horrible these days" Actually, ONE side, The DEMOCRATS are running a completely negative personal campaign. The LEADERS of the Democratic Party are engaging in a campaign of lies, personal attacks and character assassination. The Democrats like to claim "well what about you guys did to Clinton". Leaving aside the intellectual bankruptcy in baseing a justification for Democrats gutter politics on the claim that two wrongs some how make a right, this is just nonsense. Radio Talk show hosts and fringe elements of the Republican party did engage is some shameful smears against Clinton. That is not the same has having the PARTY LEADERSHIP engage in those smears! The LEADERS of the Republicans did NOT attack Clinton on a personal level. The Leaders of the Republican party are attacking Kerry's RECORD and HIS fitness to be President, Republican LEADERS are NOT attacking Kerry's person. ALL the Democrats, from Kerry to Kennedy to the "News Media" ARE attacking Bush on a personal level. So if you are upset by the "tone" of modern politics, be honest enough to place the blame where it belongs. The current leadership of the Democrat party.

Every election cycle, there's someone who pops up here and there moaning about "the bickering" and "the incivility."

When we no longer have a national party that thinks that 45 million murdered babies is NOT ENOUGH, and that confiscating and squandering 50% of everybody's paycheck is NOT ENOUGH, we will start having some civility in politics.

Such moaners, ultimately, simply do not realize how evil most politicians really are, and how much harm they are doing.
