These commercials are just so stupid now. All they make me want to do is NOT vote for the person on the commercial. The commercials don't say at all why you should vote for the person in question, but rather why you SHOULDN'T vote for the other guy. It's just so stupid and I'll be glad once this crap is over.

I'd make the caller waste their time talking to me. That means less call they can make per hour.

Unfortunately, our Government teacher makes us volunteer for a local campaign, so we're basically forced to do phone banking. It's so annoying...

i HATE these election commercials...

someone arms themselves with dramatic piano music, bashes the hell out of their opponent, and then talks about themselves with happy piano music.

I agree that election commercials are ridiculous. And they wonder why nobody votes.

I think the weeks leading up to an election are the same weeks I only watch DVDs or only listen to CD's and skip the newspapers entirely. It's gotten so out of hand that I actively avoid, to the extent that it's possible to do so, any opportunity in which I might be exposed to such trash.

Hmmm. well, im in Boston and the repug (lutenient gov, running for gov) does this--shes a nasty, dirty politician. However the dem (Deval Patrick) does not play the dirty political game. In fact, this crazy bitch lost point with her dirty campaign while Patrick gained points. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what i mean, know what i mean?

Annoying because your sacred repug leaders, which you worship, are loosing ground?

Here in Chicago we have one commercial saying a candidate doesn't care about and voted against increased border security - then right after it another commercial saying the exact same candidate does care about and voted for increased border security. :disgust:

I don't know a thing about either of the candidates for Governor in WI. All I know is that both of them are horrible human beings who should probably be executed for everything that they've done wrong in their lives.

Agreed. Positive commercials which show exactly what the candidate is going to do (eliminate all crime, turn the dumbest kids into geniuses, secure our borders) make me feel much better about America.

Politicians are all a bunch of liars and whores. I think they're worse than lawyers...of course, most of them are lawyers.
