This is what passes for "political dialog" from the Republicans in the US: character assassination, inuendo, using video to pick at personal foibles. Rather than talk issues, they sleazily use video clips with voice-over and text-over to distort facts. They aren't comfortable putting out a political platform and debating it. They use Madison Avenue manipulation instead...
The same is now happening in Canada...
Canada's Conservative Party has followed the Republican Party of the US. Here is their lastest "attack ad". This political slander dressed up as "political dialog".
