Tired of ad campaigns
Recently local candidates have stepped up there barrage of whos better than the other what their past holds blah blah blah. And these "politicians" are qualified for what? Does your district have the same problems?

I realize this is a national PROBLEM not just local. It just irritates me to know that the average person has no chance against financial heavy hitters whose monetary contributions get them elected Also where you go to vote do they ask what party are you voting for? What does it matter?

The other day I saw a local ad for our marijuana party candidate (I don't remember his actual name, but he goes by NJWEEDMAN). I'd vote for him, not because I necessarily like his politics, but because his ad was about his position and didn't mention the other candidates at all. $ definately comes into play though, as I said I saw one ad while being overwhelmed with ads from the other candidates

I haven't seen an ad yet from either side that speaks only on their issues. Every single one is slamming the other guy or rebutting how the other is lying in their ads.

It would be nice if actually stick to the real issues at hand not the opponents past. People make mistakes dont blow it out of proportion. I do want a elected official to do their job and use common sense in their actions. Our current election in Tennessee has Harold Ford Jr and Bob Corker slamming each other and it makes me sick to know how much money they are wasting on radio and television ads, which come on every 15 minutes. I recently heard a dinner for Bob Corker had $10,000.00 plates for contributions WTF is wrong with this picture.

Another from D.C. ad?
We have Tessa Hafen running for Congress out here, and Congressman Porter keeps running an ad saying she has lived in Washington D.C. for the past 8 years. Well Duh!! She was working for Senator Harry Reid for the last 8 years. Was she suppose to drive 2,000 miles to work? Porter must have stole the idea from Tennessee. Edited the above to read Congress vs Senate and Porter vs Ensign. All these ads are getting confusing!!

[Cue comically-thick, syrupy-sweet Southern accents from, a-hem... "people on the street"]
"Dit'un he grow up in Dee Cee?" "Harold's from Dee Cee, not Tenn-a-see!" "He went to some prep school in Dee Cee, dinn't 'e?" All in the same commercial. dcb |
