A Guide for Finding Dirt on Democratic Candidates

Since that seems to be a popular activity these days, I thought I'd help people find the juicy dirt they're looking for on pretty much any Democratic candidate. You won't find it on websites with a liberal focus. No. You'll have to delve into the depths of right-wing websites. Here are a couple of favorites for those whose goal is trashing Democrats:

http://www.politico.com/
http://www.wnd.com/

However, post carefully from these links. Some DUers are aware of their right-wing nature, and may object to your links.

Borrowed from another post.

TPTB have successfully implemented their vision/strategy. Two parties, one outcome.

I didn't list them all, of course, and won't. Those in the know already know where to look, it seems.

I'm not promoting a war. There are desperate haters, I typed a username and did see in fact post the same story.

Same avatar. I just discuss each issue on the individual merits. If being against corporate welfare is right wing crap well hell I'm right wing then but I'm not promoting a fake war. It isn't a war between Warren and Clinton but more of populist wing disagreeing a lot with those who more of the moderate wing of the party. I'm not promoting anything but giving my honest opinions.

Why anyone would link to WND I have no clue.

People have gotten hidden posts i believe for posting from RW sites like WND.

Wnd has no place on this site.
