To suggest that any candidate is less patriotic than another is asinine. It's mere innuendo and posturing of the most cynical sort. But that doesn't stop people in politics from doing so when they are pandering for votes. The Republicans, in particular, have been pulling that scam for as long as I can remember (they as if they had copyrighted the concept of patriotism!), although the Democrats also employ the same cynical tactic within their own ranks when they are infighting amongst one another.

Anyone who stoops to such a tactic would not get my vote if I were there to vote for him or her.

It's a contemptible way of scrounging for votes and disingenuously attacking the character of other candidates.
