sorry stompy, but that list you posted in that thread was full of inconsistencies. it really didn't prove anything but the author's partisanship.
i'm not sure i would draw such parallel lines from one sides attacks to the others. they seem to have varying amounts of relevance and cogency. i agree that kerry tanning or botox attacks are really very silly. but, i think their equivalents on the left side of the aisle are the "bush is a cowboy" kind of comments and not the ones listed above. both (botox and cowboy) may be true, but i really don't care about either.
this is kind of pigeon-holing your arguments (so i admit i'm playing dirty pool), but perhaps the fact that one side's attacks stick and the others don't tells you something about the candidates themselves.
