Is it right for Obama Administration to attack Romney supporters?
[url]http://www.rogerhedgecock.com/story/18307935/what-happens-when-obama-targets-romney-supporters[/url]
I came across this article on several websites this week, about how Obama and his supporters are now attacking those that donate money to the Romney campaign.
I have mixed feelings about this, because I do not think either side should ever go after the supporters of a particular candidate. I find that similar to voter intimidation.
Politics in this day and age have gotten so nasty, that it is almost un-watchable to see the tactics used in 2012.

You sited Roger Hedgecock? Fox News walks away from his stories as too sensationalist...
-
Opposing political parties attacking each other? When will the insanity stop!

Dat Elder title. It gone.

Does he really have a choice? Gotta fight fire with fire.

Come on, They're donating. If they're going to "attack" them why not do it to those who are persuading them to donate.

You've been here almost a decade, you'd think you would have read them by now. [Edited on 05.11.2012 12:26 PM PDT]

$5 says this thread gets locked, but the OP doesn't get banned - when any of us other inferior members would get banned.

Those aren't Romney donors. They are donors to a "superpac." And since superpacs are allowed to take unlimited money from people, it is important that people know where and who this money is coming from. Superpacs are legally required to have absolutely no coordination with any political campaigns. They are not Romney donors. Not only are they not Romney donors, they are NOT donating to the Romney campaign. Please understand the difference between the campaign donations and the superpac donations. Completely different and legally separate. [Edited on 05.11.2012 12:30 PM PDT]

I'm a right wing, but I have no respect how either party runs their campaigns. It's always ruthless and I personally believe this is wrong. I don't boycott liberal run products, but I have been increasingly persuaded to in recent years. Still I don't because I think people are trying to be too divisive and the companies themselves are not as divisive as the politicians use them to be. I hope Romney goes back to the center and really shows what success he had as Governor. He's more left than me, but I still support him because I feel like Obama is going to move far left after he wins. I hope the VP is a more centrist candidate or at least centre-right. Santorum would hurt the ticket so I hope Romney makes and intelligent pick unlike McCain. [Edited on 05.11.2012 12:35 PM PDT]

What happened to campaign finance reform? I thought McCain and Democrats both supported that last election?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shortD42 is aBK What happened to campaign finance reform?

FEC Supreme Court decision. Basically, money= speech now, and speech is unlimited.

I don't hate this system because it still allows people to get their voice out, but I would have preferred finance reform. :/
