No, but funny aside...I got mad at my fiance and I told him about it 'political ad style'. "Kris claimed that he would be home by 10:00, yet his record shows time and time again that he is continually late. Apparently Kris thinks that 10:30 is 10:00. America can't afford another Kris'.

Not anymore. It's just mudslinging now. I've yet to see an ad this election season from a candidate describing what they are actually going to try and do for us people. Instead all I've seen is one candidate accuse the other of not doing the job or some other nonsense. It's beyond frustrating and makes it very difficult (if not altogether impossible) to determined which of the candidates is the best one to vote for.
I don't think people vote with their heart either. They seem to vote strictly based on their party alignment, regardless if the candidate is good or bad for the people.
I don't care if you're republican, democrat, whatever .... tell me what you are going to do for ME!! If you can convince me enough, chances are I'll vote for your dumb ***.

I don't. They weary me and one cannot derive any real truth from what they say during a campaign. It is more important to look to their past records in whatever capacity they have served, in or out of politics. It's easier to check their record if they have served politically if people would just take the time and make the effort to check out their true agenda.
Too many people vote from their emotions rather than their brains.

I listen, but if I hear the candidate bad mouthing the other ones, I will not vote for him/her. That is the only thing I hate, is the DIRT that keeps getting spread around about people... Who cares?
GIVE ME THE RELEVANT ISSUES I don't care who did what to whom.

Yes, especially if it is about a new comer to the political scene. It is the first thing one hears and then one must search for deeper information.

Only as a humor tool, to see how much crap they can throw out about the other guy while trying to convince you that they're as pure as the driven snow.
God, I can't wait for November 8.

Not if they want the whole story. I prefer looking for things the person has written or said; looking for speeches, etc.
We live in a sound-bite society, and that keeps us woefully uninformed.

Sure I do. I want to see who is supporting the propositions and what the pros and cons are. I'm highly unlikely to vote for something that will dramatically raise taxes.

Well, I watch them, but do not put much merit in what they say.
