Unless the conservatives will decide to fore swear use of the politics of personal destruction and punish any of their Party members who use it, it will continue. In my opinion, Democrats have been way too lenient about the conservative garbage. It's the same as the 2nd amendment argument. If someone comes after you with a gun, you are justified in shooting them. With the language of conservatives on this news group, I see no likelihood that the politics of personal destruction will do anything but increase.
