Your view of politics and campaigns: Are you a High Roader or a Low Roader

[Stinky The Clown]

This is NOT specific to any candidate in the Democratic primary race. It could apply just as easily to the local Podung dog catcher race.

Are you the type who would never take anything less than the High Road?

Or are you a Low Road, 'win at all costs' person?

Or someplace in between?

I'm probably a Low Roader.

1. Depends on the personalities involved.

:evilgrin:

2. hmmmm

can you be more specific?

[Forkboy]

3. I say somewhere in between.

I wouldn't post some of the shit to tear down a Dem candidate that others here have, but I'm hardly an angel either. There are things I won't do to win.

6. I guess I'm not a total Low Roader

I kinda sorta subscribe to Reagan's 11th Commandment (applied, of course, to Dems): "Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Democrat."

But I'll talk shit - any shit - about, say, McCain all day long.

8. I was surprised you said that about yourself in your OP.

You certainly don't strike me as a low roader.

I'll criticize Dems when I feel they deserve it, and I feel they do often, especially the last 7 years. However, I won't tear one down to prop up another one. I guess that's where I draw my line.

4. Conservatives

Have turned politics into a win by any means bloodsport. They travel the low road in a hot-rod humvee shooting pedestrians as they ride by laughing.
Figuratively speaking of course.

What you are asking is if it is right to use the same tactics. I say no. The high road is bumpier because the pot holes are not filled with victims.
Figuratively speaking of course.

5. I'm a high roader who knows how to call out a low roader

and expose all the stuff he thinks pointing at me will hide.

People who piss me off generally regret it.

7. I always try to take the high road

I was failing at this more recently in GDP - so now GDP is completely off-limits for me.

That place it the low road.
