Is anyone else sick and tried of negative campaign ads?

I definitely agree with you.  Negative campaigning is not the way to win friends or influence voters.  However, politicians seem to think it works.  I think it makes them look like liars and bullies.  But cheer up.  In another week it will all be over with -- at least until the next election.  I know it ruins it for the voters, but they should still go to the  polls.  Otherwise, the loud mouths will have achieved their goal.

Is there anybody out there who isn't? Just imagine if all that money spent on campaign ads went to feeding the hungry, or sheltering the homeless. How much better a world it would be.

Go for it; I love this idea, maybe if we fight back they'll stop bothering us with their crap.  I hate it when you go into the polling place and they gang up on you before you get it.  I tell them all to leave me alone.

I wouldn't say that I HATE it, but it does make me shake my head and think "what a waste of bandwidth".\n\nI generally ignore those once I've identified that that's what they are.\n\nOf course, some are so egregious that I can't help but respond.

That TrimSpa ad makes me want to scratch my brain out. I have nighmares or braided haired monster hermaphrodies chasing me and beating me to death with surfboards and camel toes.

There are a number of controversial propositions that need attention.  I hope to defeat some and support some.  I also want to give my vote to some worthy candidates.\n\nWhat did you hope to accomplish with your vote?

The sad thing is when I go to vote I'm either voting for the lesser of evils in the the elections or I'm specifically voting to keep someone out of office.  \n\nThis message was paid for by the party for the best candidate out there, and I support this add.  :)

I do. It has become a real problem.  The only way to fight it is to not shop at them.  Every item you buy is a vote.  When you buy organic, or from a small business, or from a ethical group that is also a vote.

I am so with you. I'm in Fl, and the big race is for Governor Race. Jim Davis-D v. Charlie Christ-R\n\nCharlie Christ is running an add super negative saying that Davis has a really low attendance record in Congress.\n\nIn the ad, an empty chair runs back and forth on the screen and across the street in front of the capital, and then it shows a family on vacation in D.C. from FL, "looking for their congressman" , "where is he?" and then the empty chair comes flying in front of them. \nIt is absolutely hysterical. Every time my 10 year old daughter sees it, she just cracks up laughing.\n\n******Note: I did my research on Davis, and the funniest thing is, that Davis has a 93% attendance record in Congress, which is really strong. His abscences were just of late, when he started running for Governor. Prior to his campaign, his attendance was up to 96%. I laugh at the commercial, but will still vote for him because I can look past the ads. I wish more people would research instead of believe what they see on these ads.

The ads suck... Unless they let you know of a great new concept that you just have to try... Funky coloured wraps on tampons just don't get me enthused for that product... Samples are the best way, especially if you have allergies.  Why buy a full pack if you are just going to have to give 80% of them to your sister.  Many of the magazine ads her in Australia have a free call number to get a sample, so I'd say the magazine ads have more influence than the tv ones.

actually-my goal is to run for Senate and become a Senator one day.  i think a big problem is the lack of direct communication between politicians and the people they serve.  plus, negative ads dont help either.  but i am more than willing to go through that because i truly love america and want to serve them.  i actually take criticism fairly well.  i am very polite and very open-minded to peoples' responses.  unfortunately, politicians have to deal with those who know nothing about the political world, or the world in general for that matter-but its freedom of speech and i support that.

Get the facts straight...........\n\n"At this point, Republicans have spent $87.5 million to oppose candidates and Democrats have spent $72.6 million"\n\nnot much difference. This only counts the "negative" ads.

Have you noticed how almost every ad slams the other guy as opposed to the candidate telling us what he plans to accomplish once he gets in office? I have a notion not to vote at all. What's the use?

Wow, angry much?\n\nTRUTH ADS are a penance the cigarette companies are having to pay for their hateful, greedy ways.\n\nSo, hate me for it if you like.
