Are you kidding me? This is the primaries and I welcome these fist-fights. Conservatives need a good old-fashioned battle royale after the 8 years of center-right BS we've gotten from Bush and the pre-2006 GOP Congress. Hell, I'm a Paul supporter and I don't even mind the discussions over his foreign policy. The photo-shopped pics and outright lies are disingenuous, but hey, c'est la vie.
Hey, I enjoy a good policy fist-fight as much as the next guy. So long as we’re all able to shake hands at the end of the day and fall in behind the nominee, it’s all good.
The problem is when we get into the vicious cat-fights, calling Romney a liar or implying (with no basis) that Thompson cheats on his wife. It is hard to shake hands after that sort of thing.
Our fights should be over immigration and defense and taxes and dumb-ass plans to nationalize health-care. Those are animating struggles that make us stronger and refine our positions.
