Shouldn't we be voting based on facts and not who has the best insults of their candidate?

It seems that some Democrats like Marcy Kaptur in Ohio seem to think that is the way to get people to vote for them is to get the voters distracted from the issues. They use any means necessary changing facts slander etc etc to get voters distracted so that they don't see that the facts aren't on their side. It seems to be used by the Democrats a lot especially any inbents. Obama will use this tactic in 2012 you will see.
