Let me see a show of hands...

Who here has never paid attention to a presidential primary season? Who here isn't aware that, yes Virginia, even Democrats campaign negatively to win and that even YOUR flawless messiah has more than likely done this?

Get real people. The Hillary campaign made negative robo-calls? GASP! I would have been more surprised had they NOT done it.

But where was the whining here when Obama, for example, made smearing robo-calls to New Hampshire voters? Or the robo-calls in Georgia (which the Obama camp denied) attacking John Lewis after he endorsed Hillary Clinton?

The big difference? The blogs didn't go ballistic over them.

1. All candidates launch dirty robocalls.

All candidates have returned dirty money.
All candidates have changed positions on issues.
All candidates have distorted their own records.
All candidates have distorted their opponent's records.

Let's move on.

2. Are you referring to the Robo calls Obama did in response to having his pro-choice record smeared?

Those NH robocalls?

3. The Clintons have a history of doing what it takes to win, and it's widely

believed they're ruthless. I'm inclined to agree.
