I'm sorry rival *Democratic* campaigns aren't that petty. I think the word you are looking for here is "Republican"

Oh please... if you believe the Democrats are so saintly and classy as to never use a cheap shot like a haircut line against one of their own, you are living in more of a fool's paradise than Dick Cheney.

Nobody has called them saints, but I haven't heard any cheap shots yet, have you?

not any THAT cheap. I suppose it is not literally impossible that they would use the hair-cut attack, but this one is definitely being pushed by the right-wing.

Would I be more likely to vote for a candidate that pays $15 or even $50 for a hair-cut? Probably, but not if he were going to bomb Iran.

I also support a fidelitous candidate over one that is not, but I wouldn't support the persecution of a sitting president for the benefit of a bunch of crotch-sniffing hypocrites. It's all a matter of degrees, and yes "relativity." That's not hypocrisy, its just not oversimplifying matters.
