I really do hate watching TV during election time. It is negative ads one after another. It is so annoying I just end up turning the TV off, and using my DVR so I can skip all the stupid nonsense campaign commercials.
In Oregon we have mail in balloting. I mailed in my ballot over a week ago, but I still have to deal with all this name smearing for another week. The ads prove nothing.
What happened to the days when you actually knew what candidates believed in. You knew everything they believed in, and what they wanted to change. These days all you see is words taken out of context, and you really don't ever know what a candidate stands for because they are worried more about making the other guy look bad instead of just letting voters know the changes they want to bring.
You would think with the internet, and social media age that we would be able to know exactly everything about each candidate, but instead all they do is bash the other guy. You never really do know why they want you to vote for them.
I would really like to see TV ads completely removed for political campaigns. I haven't seen a real commercial in weeks, and after a while it almost drives you to not even vote. Luckily I can mail in my ballot so I can base my voting decisions on my true feelings instead of being force fed negative ads for three weeks before being able to vote in many other states.
Do political ads influence your vote, or do they just annoy you?
