Watching TV these days is the pits. I dont know why the political ads have to start so far in advance of an election - and the NEGATIVE ads are the worst. It is bad enough we have to watch the Gecko 50 times a day or the fight between the TV companies - but I think that the lowest of all is the negative political ads.
I think that the money spent on these ads must be more than I make in a year - and there are so many other places to use that money instead of smearing someone because they are running against you.
I tend to vote for the non negative ad person just out of spite.
The Verizon/AT&T ads are good examples of negative ads - but unfortunately - I dont have a choice to use another company as they do not service my area.
Politicians are - in my opinion - a crooked lot of people - so I guess I should not be shocked that they are not the nicest ads. Consider the source.
Though - I do think that we would have lower car insurance if the companies spent less money on their TV ads and gave it back to us in savings.
First amendment rights are great - if you are not on the receiving end of them. When you come right down to it - our rights are really not that great - but that is a good thought for another time.
