It's often said that politicians have "no morals" but this - ig verified - really demonstrates a complete lack of decency that is quite galling to me. Subverting democracy with smutty name-calling, seriously; and these are supposed leaders of the people. Such a small thing would so sully the office of the POTUS so as to genuinely discredit the USA for me. What's worse is I fear that such a fiend would have no shame f…

Fully agreed. As a Canadian, I was disgraced by the attack ads put forth by our two most recent contending parties that I did not vote. How can I vote for either of them, when they are both miscreants?

that's the exact intention of attack ads, they disenfranchise voters, and this is usually very good for incumbents.
