I want to hear each candidate's stance on issues and ideas for the future, not demonization using distortion or misinformation. From Donald Segretti's campaign of dirty tricks in the employ of Richard Nixon to the Swift Boat Veterans' attack on Senator John Kerry, such tactics have debased and degraded the electoral process and turned voters off.
