Are any of your local politicians running positive campaigns and not resorting to name calling?

Our republican candidate for Gov is mud slinging and our Democrat is trying to keep it about facts....and the 3rd party is airing hilarious cartoon ads with republicans shoving their heads up their rears...(big dig controversy)

In a small local election maybe $10,000 or so which could be raised in fundraising. A larger one like mayor would be $50-60,000 because you want to have plenty of money to run mudslinging ads about your opponents.

The media clouds peoples judgment by planting artificial "facts". Does any of us truely read the reports that decisions are made from. No, we merely listen to views from the media. Politicians are in their business for money as we work for money, not all are good not all are bad. I say drop the party lines and get a more independant politician to present moral views.

Anyone who answers yes to this question is not. A "do gooder" true at heart will remain annonymous. Everyone else has an agenda.

Have you heard his speeches? this guy is an awesome speaker. and he's not blowing wind like most politicians. He answers questions with good answers. while most politicians deflect questions.

I do not agree.  The politician only fails if he/she does not represent his constituents in a way that most benefits them.  Only if the politican believes his words are more important than his/her deeds does he set him/herself up to fail, because no matter what a good job representing his constituents he does, he is likely to say something that one side or the other does not like.

From my state at least, Herb Kohl. He's the only one I saw in the entire election that didn't use a single propoganda technique in his ads.

Yes.  It's a not so subtle way of telling certain people that they are not good enough to make something of themselves.  That they need government handouts.  This secures votes for certain candidates.

Politicians have turned lying into a fine art and have excelled to the point where beating a lie detector would be no problem. Little Johns no GST is my personal favourite. If by some freak of nature they did work you would need quite a few on hand as I am sure burnout would be a big problem.

I see the good in most common people. That said, I have met many in my professional life that are arrogant and dishonest to the bone.\nMost I have known in bussiness are dishonest. All in politics are crooks. Most I have had contact with in Local, State and the Federal Government are in do nothing jobs and are in fact a waste of tax payers money. That's not gloom, that's just fact.
