When was the last time the Rethuglicans ran a presidential race on the issues?
Let me preface my remarks by saying that I will stop referring to them in dehumanizing terms like Rethuglicans when they start acting like humans. If their ideas are so great and all it takes is the unleashing of the market to turn us all into ersatz Bill and Melinda Gates why don't they run on the issues instead of launching perfidious partisan attacks on their opponents...
A trip down memory lane...
In 1988 they turned Mike Dukakis into a milquetoast mental patient who deliberately let rapists out on furlough while his wife burned the American flag.
In 1992 they crucified Bill Clinton over a land deal where he lost money and that he had a girlfriend.
In 1996 see above.
In 2000 they turned Al Gore into a serial exaggerator who said he invented the internet, discovered Love Canal, and was the basis with his wife for the movie "Love Story",
In 2004 in the most audacious attack of all they turned a war hero (John Kerry) who was awarded two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star into a malfeasant officer who shot himself and a teenager who was running away in the back.
In 2008 they turned our president into an illegal alien and a crypto-Muslim "who palled around with terrorists".
In 2012, see above...
When they act like humans and halt their mendacity I will treat them accordingly.
