But seriously, I think Republicans go for the low road more often than Democrats do, and are more likely to just flat out make shit up to further their goals than the Dems are.

And it's not necessarily the Republican politicians but their supporters who go for that low road. The politicians just keep quiet (at best) and wink.

If you have something the Dems have done that you consider as low as Swift Boating please post it.

#1 Russian collusion, started within the Clinton campaign leaked to the press, ended up in the FBI and turned in to a federal investigation that proved to be nothing more than an attempt to stop Trump from being able to govern


#2 Kavanaughing, formerly known as Borked

Quote"Bork" as a verb

According to columnist William Safire, the first published use of "bork" as a verb was possibly in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of August 20, 1987, two months prior to the final vote: "Let's just hope something enduring results for the justice-to-be, like a new verb: Borked."[43] A well known use of the verb "to bork" occurred in July 1991 at a conference of the National Organization for Women in New York City. Feminist Florynce Kennedy addressed the conference on the importance of defeating the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying: "We're going to bork him. We're going to kill him politically. This little creep, where did he come from?"[44] Thomas was confirmed after the most divisive confirmation hearing in Supreme Court history to that point.

In March 2002, the Oxford English Dictionary added an entry for the verb "bork" as U.S. political slang, with this definition: "To defame or vilify (a person) systematically, esp. in the mass media, usually to prevent his or her appointment to public office; to obstruct or thwart (a person) in this way."[45] Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh used the term during his own contentious Senate confirmation hearing testimony, when he stated: "The behavior of several of the Democratic members of this committee at my hearing a few weeks ago was an embarrassment. But at least it was just a good old-fashioned attempt at borking."
