why is it a smear campaign when you say (or write) the truth that the guy (Obama-lama-ding dong) is an empty suit, has zero credibility, and is wrong on every issue of substance (as his voting record would indicate)?
Oh...I see it’s cuz it’s the L.A. Times writing that it’s a “smear” campaign...oh I see...
Or, mention how they voted on an issue in the past?
I agree. Apparently, anything a candidate did, said, or wrote in the past is considered smearing nowadays.
