Dirty tactics in the presidential race

I suppose the reason I am so enraged over the slanders the Republicans are sending Merrifield's way is because I know him personally, and he's a decent human being who makes every effort to be there for his constituents. When speaking of last's year's Colorado State Legislature session he told me, "The whole exercise made me so sick at heart that I had to go off alone into the mountains for a month to heal my soul." God help us all if that's what serving in one of our governing bodies does to a good man.
