Notice all you have there is unsubstantiated rumors and attempts to slander. Which proves my point. It’s tabloid BS and the last thing we need is more tabloid crap in this world, no matter who’s the target.

Unfortunately there is a section of the US that is swayed by the tabloid stories.

Think about it. There had to be at least 5 different tabloids when I checked out at store today. Someone is buying them and reading them, on a regular basis, or there would not be more than 1 or 2 (if that).

The average American voter may not be as discerning as we would hope they would.

SO, ignoring the ramifications of the tell-all articles, or lack of, will not help our candidates.

Talking up the ‘have you slept with so-and-so’ liberal hypocrisy, to expose it for what it is, is fighting fire with fire. McCain didn’t bother to do that, while mud was being slung at him on a daily basis.

He took the high road. Look where it got him. His people limited Sarah’s ability to fight back, and she was buried in crap that she did not deserve, and coould not rebut, because she had to play by McCain’s rules.

Obama got all other candidates removed from ballots in his previous elections in Chicago. WHen you are the only one on the ballot, you have a good chance to be elected. His people opened sealed documents and spread the contents all over the place - sitting back quietly is not the answer when dealing with this kind of campaigning.

When they tell a lie often enough without being challenged, people tend to believe it.

Unsubstantiated rumors and slander? What about those mentioning Clinton, JFK, FDR, Grover Cleveland, Jefferson, and a host of others? Tabloid journalism sells and can divulge the truth. Remember how the MSM treated the Enquirer story about Vice Presidential and potential Presidential candidate John Edwards about his affair? Was Bush's DUI offense rumor or slander?

The MSM has become an appendage of the Democrat party. They hide the truth about the Dems and do anal exams of the Reps. The only real journalism these days seems to be done by the alternate media and the tabloids. We sure as hell have no idea who that guy in the WH is. He has yet to be fully vetted.
