Let's Screw With The Mudslingers! (June 3, 2010)

You hear numerous paid announcements about the candidates and ballot measures on the radio and television. Most always give one side to the battle, but not the other, unless you listen on and on until you hear from the other camp giving their side.

In a perfect world, you would hear both sides of the mudslinging within a minute of each other. Ain't gonna happen.

I have my voting preferences, but I vote absentee, and have sent my ballot by mail two weeks ago, and I'm nonpartisan, so these battles between the partisan candidates are moot for me until the General Election in November.

With that said, I think it's time to do something unique. You see some of the political pieces telling you bad things about their opponent and good things about their candidate? Let's do it in another way. We'll take two opposing mailers of two candidates who are mudslinging each other, take out the good things, and just report the bad things their opponents are saying to each other.

I looked through all of the political mailers I've received, and the only mailers where two opposing candidates for the same contest who are mudsling each other in their mailings are in the Republican State Senator 36th District contect. I won't include mudslinging where I have just one candidate mudslinging another without the other candidate mudslinging back, so for now, I have just the one battle for now.

Anderson vs. Stone? (June 3, 2010)

Numerous mailings from organizations for Joel Anderson and Jeff Stone mudslinging each other have convinced me that there are other candidates worth voting for, so both have convinced me not for vote for either of them.

All of these are according to the mailers. I'm not making these up. I will name the sources of their mudslinging statements.

I got your equal time right here.

So now we have it. Stone is unqualified, while Anderson is not morally fit. Which do you prefer?

Vote for Kenneth C. Dickson or Greg Stephens. Nobody's mudslinging them.

More Battles (June 3, 2010)

Carly Fiorina vs. Tom Campbell for United States Senator on the Republican Primary ballot. A flyer from Fiorina's camp mudsling's Campbell. I want to read mudslinging from the Campbell camp.

So with that, I won't publish the mudslinging of one candidate if I don't have the other's mudslinging statements to keep it equal.

If you have mudslinging battles of two candidates fighting for the same nomination, e-mail me and I'll publish both sides. Be sure to source them.
