The problem with smear campaigns is that too often they work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My theory on smear pieces is try and win 'em over.
I think the best campaigns are campaigns of ideas and substance.
It angers me that a timed, planned and paid smearing campaign is run against me in the press.
What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.
I know politics is emotionally brutal; I've already had experience with the reality of smear campaigns, so I understand there will not be a path of roses laid before me.
I don't often get involved with campaigns at all.
A lot of times when people are on campaigns, it can be like a movie set.
The way campaign funds are distributed are all a matter of record.
I think I know a lot about campaigns.
The permanent campaign is inherently deceptive.
