This is a very disappointing way for the Democratic party to campaign. I wonder how Hillary or Obama would hold up under such a website put out by the Republican party.

I was leaning towards voting for a Democrat for the next President, however this type of campaigning just reinforces my concerns about the lack of leadership in the democratic party.
What is the party so afraid of?

Are you kidding?!
The GOP and their allied organizations has not only had similar websites operational for months, but they are even putting together a feature length movie to try and smear Hillary, with Dick Morris, Swift Boaters, et al chiming in.
This MA Democratic Party website is an attempt to mimick the sort of stuff the GOP has been doing online since 2000.

Are you kidding? Just because some other kids did this before doesn’t make it a good thing. None of the candidates have to associate or distance themselves from this. Where is Michael Moore's input? This is the clearing house for innuendo, implication, twisting of circumstance to fit the desired influence of those posting content. So until Edwards, Clinton, Obama, etc. add to the content it is purely slanted and shadowy propaganda. But it would be a liability for any of them to touch the site. I have a leaning toward Edwards, but if he touches this, all bets are off.

It is a rather unfortunate development. After all, we do not advocate Karl Rove's tactics, and though someone who can get great candidates elected is definitely desirable, using the tactics of "The Evil Genius" is not the way to go. Running on the facts, and a proven tract record of getting things done for all candidates would turn the dirty swift boat politics on its head. The only problem is that the swift boaters lived to fight another day after besmirshing the military valor of Kerry and Clelland. They are after Hillary, Obama and others this go round. So, how do we combat that kind of slander? It's already been proven that you can't just sit still and let all kinds of rumors fly and not refute them, or respond in any way. Silence, for some people, is like taking the 5th. There is a sort of feeling that taking the 5th means that you're guilty, or that at least there is some validity to the charges.

I think it's a good thing to get all the info out there about any political candidate-Republican or Democrat.

I don't like the fact that Romney has turned into a right-wing relious nut for the neocons. He once was a rational man. What happened?

Funny how the left wingers always misrepresent the right as "Neocons." Remember...to be a Neocon, you once had to be a liberal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservative). I love liberals and their blatant disregard for historical relevance!

Before you rip me...let me post another link...

This is almost laughable. He has two arrest records, one for a joke an one for registration of a boat. This is sure to discredit him for President. It seems to me that the Democrats are afraid of Gov. Romney. I look forward to see what this website can find on him. If he was a Baptist, he would be running away with the nomination.

It saddens me to see political campaigns degenerate into a name calling and dirt throwing effort by the opposition party (the democrats) against a fine, highly principled man such as Mitt Romney. Why can't they let the voters know of their stand on the issues instead of grabbing at straws to discredit Romney. The american public is too wise to let this futile effort by the democrats have any lasting effect on his candidacy. Again, it is a sad day in America to see how un-principled we have become as a nation.

I mostly agree with Dallas and some others. Though, I disagree with Dallas when he says the American public is too wise to not be able to tell the difference between truth and untruth. Example: Look at the Democrats. If Democrats had a full head of brains, they wouldn't be Democrats. But Alas, they are truly 'Dimocrats'.

Also- as far as changing his mind on certain issues- Not two short years ago I was very pro-immigrant probably due to the fact that I grew up in a border town on the US side. Many of my friends were Mexican as well as a love interest. Everything changed after witnessing the first Mayday March in '06. How dare those grubbing lawbreakers who are already recieving US handouts DEMAND Amnesty!? Fix your own country. You see kids, many people change thier minds when right versus wrong is exposed.

There is no flipflopping by Mitt Romney. As a person matures, he is allowed to change his stand on issues, especially if there is a better way. For instance, I was a lifelong Democrat until the Party changed: it now represents higher taxes so the Govt. can meet everyone's needs instead of working, planning, saving; Govt. can decide if I want health insurance, etc.; capital punishment is wrong, but abortion is not; Pres. Bush is the enemy, not Islamic radicals; open borders,etc. etc. Enough is enough. If
your policies pass, America as we know it will be gone along with sovereignty and individual choice and freedom.
