Why does the GOP play the victim of dirty politics when their narrative is based solely on race baiting and fear mongering? The Democrats don't complain. They just play hardball, yet when the Democrats play hard politics, the GOP wants to play victim.

It's not an accusation.

The GOP narrative is solely based on race baiting and fear mongering? The GOP is talking about Obama's record and what they want to do differently. It's the Democrats who are doing the race baiting and fear mongering.

I learned about the Chicago "machine" in elementary school history. I don't think an idea gets that far without some facts being behind it. I would never vote for anyone from Chicago. Corrupt town with corrupt politics. You don't get to national politics from there without a little dirt on you.

I am also seeing a lot going on with candidates in the Democrat party that might challenge Obama. May be "Chicago politics" and may not be, but I have wondered.

Obama is as "Chicago" as one can be. I've still never seen or heard of an honest politician from Chicago.

2008: Obama is the squeaky clean candidate.
2012: Obama is the sleazy, petty president.

Transformation now complete.

Obama started his career in Chicago, well known by all for being one of the most corrupt, thug driven cities in the nation. He has or had some of those punks in his admin to. So it is only fitting. Im sorry the truth hurts, but dont blame us. Blame Obama.

and in point of fact, EVERY election that obama has won, he did so NOT on the issues, but rather by smearing his opponents in every way possible.
