And here's what I don't understand....

After Sarah Palin's speech last night at the Republican convention, Obama's camp said her speech was "written by George Bush’s speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we’ve heard from George Bush for the last eight years."
I have heard many say in response to this that Bush purposefully avoids being divisive, but let's ignore that for the moment.
Partisan attacks? Now I haven't been paying the closest of attention, but it seems like I do hear an awful lot from Obama that I would classify as "partisan attacks." Half of what he says seems to be personal and political attacks on Bush and his positions, and those who agree with him.
Which is fine. It's part of the campaign process, I understand that.
But somehow it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to hear one side decry and action of the other side, that they themselves are guilty of.
It's a dirty game, my friends.
