"They did it too"? Really?
Does that only work when you don't like what the Democrats have done? Or does it apply to the recent Republican tradition of Swift Boat Politics?
After all, Palin has pretty much damned herself out of her own mouth, both during the last month and as a part of her past public record, which the McCain campaign apparently didn't look at very carefully if at all. John Kerry, though not a dynamic candidate, was actually lied about.
So you believe that attack is OK as long as your side is doing the attacking, is that it? That if they can't win on their own positions, going negative, and even lying, is the best way to go?
