2. Politics and pacifism don't mix

Ya gotta stand up for what you think is right, and when attacked, strike back. Otherwise you're viewed as weak.

Just watch The Apprentice.

3. A combination of 2, 3 and 4

It is never justified to make an attack that is not factual.
But even a factual attack shouldn't be made unless you are behind, or attacked first, imho.

4. When your opponent is a Bush
The best defense is a good offense. When the opponent is a Bush.

8. I'll let everyone who takes the poll define it for themselves.

To me, it's similar to the famous definition of pornography - I know it when I see it.
