I read this comment online:
"If I were to make such a false and outrageous accusation against someone, I would be sued and charged with slander. Whereas politicians … read more can maliciously smear all they want and it is just chalked up to part of the political game. Why the difference? Why can''t politicians be held accountable for this kind of crap just like us regular people?"
What do you think? If we held politicians liable for slander and libel, do you think that it would make politics more "honest"? I guess I would imagine that excessive lies, distortions and defamation of character attacks would be what we were talking about. Or would it just be a nightmare?
