It strikes me how the left seems to take the low road of personal attacks because they disagree with someones politics. Its like they cannot when the battle on ideas.

I agree but it's also important to note that it's not entirely unwarranted. You can't pull these kids out for every possible photo op, use them as proof of your conservative credentials and then bitch when people start sniffing around. Same goes for all of these family values pols who are caught banging the miscellaneous staffer/mistress/sheep and ask for "privacy at this difficult time."
