Name calling, all the rest.
I just want to know why I should vote for you, not why I shouldn't vote for the other guy!
Who's with me?

If you pay attention, it is the Democrat ads that are so uncivilized. At least, they hold the majority in the uncivilized ad campaign. It's because they don't want their own faults brought out it in open. It's like that guy at work who no one likes because he is always pointing out downfalls of his co-workers so the boss doesn't see his faults.

The critical methods that these ads have leaned toward is less than uncivilized. I don't want to hear what the other person isn't, I want to hear what you can do to make this country better. And they wonder why the percentage of voters becomes less and less. We are all fed up with their political agenda against the incumbants and lack of ingenuity in coming up with a genuine platform of their own. Still, we live in a country that gives us the opportunity to express our opinion, and we can not complain if we don't support that opinion through our right to vote. See ya at the polls tomorrow!!!

Studies have shown that people react more favorably if the candidate can show that the other person isn't worth voting for, if that makes sense. Anywhere you look, you can see similar adds...Quiznos ads versus Subway, Burger King versus the others (size of their patties), Sprint vs. Cingular vs. Verizon
I completely agree with you. However, I don't think many politicians necessarily know what side of the issue they are on until they find out from other interests which side is best.

Neoconservatives understand that people are shocked when they take things down to the lowest level. Democrats used to not know what to do, they were traumatized. Now they fight back, but they're doing it at the same lowest level.
What's important is to exercise your vote, but also monitor this year what is going on with universal use in America of hackable machines that were set up and owned by Republicans.
America was sleeping before, but now many are aware of the fraud. HBO's Hacking Democracy documentary was quite shocking and is On Demand.
Go vote, monitor how you feel about a receiptless machine and call the Board of Elections and Bust their Chops when you ask, "What Happened To MY Vote?"

Great tricks for professional politicians to retain their seat. Try to pick one person that hasn't been running negative ads and get an honest person in office that is for the people and not a self-interest jerk that does nothing for anyone but themselves. Voting strictly party lines is for the birds.

"Exactly I'm with ya"!Because the candidates will do or say anything to get into office to push there agenda down the throats of the people! I have never heard a candidate campaign only on the issues have you? They do it by making each other look bad "smoke screen"!

They lose my vote!!! What kind of jerk does that anyway?!? Good for you. I'm liking some of the other parties choices. THEY rarely pull that nonsense.

That is all crude humor, don't believe in them especially if they lie to you. Read the book yourself on the propositions, cannidates, and much more. Good luck!

political scientists have discovered that most decisions are based on emotion rather than rational thinking so they create theses adds to touch your emotions
