The 2012 presidential election used a smear campaign against Romney, implying that he didn't pay taxes, had a war on women, went around with his dog tied to the car, was a high school bully, hated 47% of the country, and was nothing but a rich greedy douche. The Obama administration, Mother Jones and some members of the media used dirty tactics. Too bad, the economy probably would be much better if he were president, but we'll never know now.
