California county GOP launches campaign to out 'liberals posing as Republicans'
In a sign that the 2010 primary season is beginning to heat up, and is likely to get ugly, a Republican candidate for the Senate has "accused" a rival Republican of being a closeted homosexual.
Andy Martin, a journalist from Illinois with a long history of controversial anti-Semitic remarks and the man credited with starting the rumor that Barack Obama is a Muslim, released an ad Monday in which he cited "rumors" that Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) is gay.
"I am fighting for the facts about Mark Kirk," Martin, who is running for Obama's old seat, says in the ad. "Illinois Republican leader Jack Roeser says there is a 'solid rumor that Kirk is a homosexual.' Roeser suggests that Kirk is part of a Republican Party homosexual club. Lake County Illinois Republican leader Ray True says Kirk has surrounded himself with homosexuals. Mark Kirk should tell Republican voters the truth."

Wow, that's dirty. Sounds like what Obama did in 2004 when he was running for the Senate.... - AzRain
[ In Reply To ..]and suddenly his Republican opponent's divorce records were unsealed (Jack Ryan), even though they had been sealed to protect the couple's young son from hearing the salacious details. Of course, Bambi had to play dirty, which is his MO, in order to win the seat he so desperately wanted, so he did. In case you haven't noticed, Nikki, politics is a filthy business, and your guy Obama obviously excells at it.

[ In Reply To ..]Ryan's primary opponents (republicans) pushed for opening the records. The Chicago Tribune brought the case to open the records which a court did. Ryan told his party nothing bad would happen if those records were made public.
The paper won the case. Ryan was found to have lied to his party. Obama won.
Ryan can take credit for Ryan losing. Trying to smear Obama for it is silly. Another rumor. Maybe that's why you don't find malicious rumors spread during campaigns offensive.

Citing Sources - Left Vs RightMar 21, 2012
As I see it, one problem on this board is citing acurate sources. It's really not our fault as informed voters. It's the fault of the media - radio, TV, internet, newspapers, etc. For example, if a poster here wants to discuss "Fast and Furious," the only sources are going to be right-leaning sources (RLS), since the left-leaning sources (LLS) are not covering the story. The same is true, for example, regarding the transvag ultrasound story only being reported ...
Rumors Of Paul Ryan And Chris Christie Joining Pres. RaceAug 16, 2011
Just my opinion, but I think Chris Christie would be better off finishing his term as governor and then running in the next election - I like him, but it's just too soon for him. Paul Ryan should also think twice about this, as he's not exactly Mr. Popularity, even with some conservatives. I like him, too, but I don't think he coud garner the support he would need. Thoughts on this - no slams, please. ...

Without Choosing Your Favorite Candidate, Who Is Going To Win? May 03, 2016
This is like a soap opera playing out. Will Bernie win against Hillary as more negative publicity is coming out about her? Will Trump win over Cruz since he annoys so many or will Trump lose because people dislike him more than Cruz.
