And where did you get these facts?

The rampant regurgitation of Republican catch-phrases is astounding to me. There's no "opinion," people just drink from the same kool-ade. Every week some issue is brought up in Republican circles and then by that Wed or Thursday, every political discussion turns into a Republican vomiting out whatever it was they heard/read earlier that week - rinse and repeat. *yawn*

I think part of the reason for Republican candidates' terrible image in the media as smear-mongers might in part be due to the way in which they project themselves in the public eye. For instance, during the Bush/Kerry election, 64% of Bush's ads were negative compared to 34% for Kerry.

Also, look at how it appears the average Republican portrays him/herself. Look at this forum section as an example. A majority of the direct conflicts created are started by a disagreeing Republican.

Hell, on numerous occasions Fox News has been cited blatantly altering facts in favor of the Right Wing.

So please stop regurgitating the latest "thing to complain about" from Republican circles. I already read about how "the media is strongly biased for the liberals" 3 days ago. Next, you're going to start stating that the only reason McCain and Palin lost is because "that Tina Fey exploited me."
