Here's what you don't understand. It's not about character assassination, it's about policy assassination. Their policies are BAD for America. But speaking about character assassination, that's something the left almost has a monopoly on. Sarah Palin whether you agree with her politics or not was ripped to shreds along with GW, Joe the Plumber and many other conservatives... and still are to this very day. Even you can't mention George Bush's name without putting alcoholism in (parenthesis) so don't lecture about charter assassination. The Democrats mastered the art of character assassination.
