Political (attack) ads on TV....

Does it disgust anyone else to see the campaign ads flooding the TV and they have absolutely nothing to say?
The Democrats must really be worried if all of their ads are based on one topic (and it isn't jobs or the economy)?
The ratio of democratic vs republican ads is roughly 4:1, and when you look at the content of the ads, saying nothing 4 times as much doesn't instill a sense of intelligence or confidence!

I find it tiring and disturbing that the root of all the democrat ads are focused on the same platform they used in 2008? Surely they have done something positive they can brag about, right?

No, I don't think that attack ads are a positive. Actually, it makes me think that whatever party puts them out are nothing more than a bunch of idiots bent on wasting OUR money now and after they buy their way into office!

Now when you look at the republican ads, they don't give specific information about their platform, but they are not slanderous attack ads either.

If I had to base my vote solely on the ads alone, I would most definitely vote Republican. But since I am not basing my vote on the ads alone, the candidates are making my choice even easier every time they open their mouths!

Boy, I can't wait for the elections to be over so I don't have to see Warrens face every 5 minutes in the evening telling us how bad Brown is.
