Uh, dude, we're talking about Bob Fucking Jones here. The guy wrote a letter to Bush on his BJU Website last week stating that America did not "deserve" to have Bush as President and that Bush had better make good on his noxious promises to fundamentalist lunatics.
You're emart enough to know you'll lose the argument about which party has dirtier smear tactics every time. Chomsky may be hateful, but I doubt you'll find him sending out pamphlets in racist districts of southern states sneering at John McCain for having adopted black children, which the GOP did (and admitted doing) in SC in 2000. You won't find the Dems lying about WMD to people they know are too stupid to know better. You won't find them cynically going along with the lie that Saddam and AQ were in bed together. The Dems are simply not mean and corrupt enough to get that low. And thats why they continue to lose. Their lowest tricks are scaring people about a potential draft and getting the welfare crowd to come out and vote for them by promising benefits. Its loathesome, but its not in the same category as baldly appealing to racists.
And as to the gay marriage referendums, that was brilliant political work by the GOP, but truly repugnant from an ethical standpoint. The GOP hurt a lot of decent people pretty deeply. I don't see then Dems doing things that cynical and mean-spirited.
I give your party props for winning, but don't ask me to cede you the moral high ground. You just can't make that case. You had to get in the toilet to win and I'm not about to help you clean off the shit. You can't have it all.
