Forget the other guy

Every day, I see commercials for candidates running for office. I have to honestly say that with all I have seen (and there must be hundreds), I do not know who to vote for.

Not one of those candidates can put out a commercial saying what they will do for me, if elected. All they say is what their opponent is going to do wrong.

Why don't they stop worrying about the other candidates and take care of themselves? Then, I could be an informed voter.

With the information I have now, it looks as if I, like a lot of voters, won't go to the polls in November.

Also, any candidate who is running for office in the United States and who says that my president can go to hell needs to get a new occupation.

It is no wonder that this country is going downhill, and fast.

Your president

can go straight to hell, he's dragging the country down there anyway. Negative ads have been part of campaigns since the days of Lincoln and before, nothing new. Get off your lazy behind and do some research. Find the candidate who matches your goals, and go vote. Don't be ashamed to admit if you want a higher welfare check, or if you want welfare abolished. But using the existence of negative ads to not vote, that's just admitting that you are too stupid to care.

Vote for

the Idedependent Kevin Scott if you don"t know who to vote for. He uses comment sense and does not attack anyone. He runs a straight forward, straight up campaign.

Is that thought rational or

Is that thought rational or just more liberal name calling? I guess when there is nothing positive about the democratic platform except more welfare, taxes and no jobs there is nothing left to do but call the other party names.

it has been perfected by KKKarl Rove and the republikkklans, along with their willing ally FoxSnooze.
