No, agreed there has always been mudslinging, BUT you ask retired politicians, and on BOTH SIDES they have said that today is worse than what they experienced 20-30 years ago.
Issues were argued. No issues are argued now, just mudslinging. The press is the biggest culprit at fault, they no that gossip and this shit sells better than if they broadcast issues.
I remember 4 years ago. The most talked about thing coming from the debates were not about any issue, but how Gore came across as a know it all and stiff. Hell most people probably didn't even remember what issues were discussed 2 days later but they remembered the Gore issue because it was all that was talked about on Limbaugh and others.
I just think by saying the name calling happened in the past is a bad excuse for allowing it to continue while the issues are ignored.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
