We're better than this

I know it has been a tough eight years. The left has been on an all out gutter war since Al Gore uttered 'Florida'. I understand wanting to play 'their' game. I understand wanting to give them a taste of their own medicine. But I thought we had more self control and were better than things like this (and I don't mean to single out Tom. It is the way it is spreading that bothers me). Perhaps we're not. I guess I was disillusioned in thinking that conservatives carried themselves with a little more dignity. Going after soon-to-be President Obama on principals is fine, expected even, but playing their inane game isn't going to win a single vote in two or four years, friends.
