Will you be more likely to vote if the candidates defamed each other as opposed to clean debating?

I refuse to vote for a candidate who spends his/her time trashing and bad-mouthing their opponents. They should be telling us what they CAN do for our country, not how bad the other candidates are doing. Let us decide. I'll vote for the honest candidate who has better things to worry about, like the war, economy, health care, education.

As things are now I listen and keep what information I need and when the time comes I think along these lines and ignore what has been said that I didn't need to hear and vote for the one I think is best suited for the position.
No I would not be more likely to vote if the candidates defamed each other as opposed to clean debating.
When they argue and defame each other I get lost in the conversation and see the faults of the one speaking. I also get tired of hearing of health care and children left behind and social security. Don't know what they should talk about but surely there is something they could enlighten us about. Especially of themselves.

NO. I especially dislike subliminal outings and diversions made that we as the public can not identify who is behind. But you just know someone is pulling the strings. Expect that this election beyond the old TV ads & verbal lashings. Rudy is getting vocal lately. He has a right to be pissed at Hillary she campaigned for re-election, took in millions and is no longer representing her constituents of the Good State of New York. Plus she moved there and just made the residency requirements to run in the first place. As a born New Yorker I am po'd too. Start there and Move On... He can not be pleased with her at all. Thank you.

less likely to vote for people doing negative campaigning, I want to hear why you are better than the other guy, not what everything the other guy has done wrong

hate it. will not vote for someone who negative campaigns. don't like it in politics, advertising, nothing. it's bad form, bad manners. if you can't state the benefits of voting for you without slamming someone else, then your case is not strong enough. naturally you can say how you would improve things versus someone else, but there is a way to do it that is still classy and not trashy.

I hate it! It makes both candidates look bad and turns people off as far as the voting process goes.
This Mr Show skit says it all;

Depends on who is calling what dirty.
One candidate might call another a liar, and this could in fact be true, but the other responds that this is dirty politics.
Now just how in the hell (in my example) is this dirty or negative politics?

I'm turned off by negative campaigns but it won't stop me from voting for the Democrat.
