All politician's play dirty politics to get egg on the face of their opponents. The Repubs just seem more organized. But watch any campaign ad and you'll see plenty of mud slung by both sides and all that mud is provided by votes (or non-votes) on bills and issues that were manipulated precisely to make the other party look bad come election time.

Yes, it IS shitty of ALL politicians to do it, but it has become SOP, so I don't see much use in complaining about it.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with calling politicians out when they get their facts wrong (whether deliberately or accidentally), like Palin did this time.
