Distorted political ads

This is beginning to look like the ugliest election campaign I can remember. Distortions of facts on both sides abound, and will undoubtedly get worse. Is there any way you can think of to control or avoid this or should we just sit back and let Madison Ave. choose our leaders?

Well that’s a great idea - truly. Evidently though, somebody must realize that the majority of voters aren’t to well informed, or just believe the media. I feel trapped in a dictatorship of uninformed people I can’t agree with. Up to now the “What’s good for GM is good for me mentality” has seemed to almost keep it good, but I’m afraid GM’s just concerned about stockholders now days. I can hear Bob Dylan wailin an old song. “The times they are a………

I agree -- I don't need Kerry sticking his hand in my pockets. I just wish there was a Republican running other than the incumbent. I didn't think a lot of him when he was running last time, and I think even less of him now. I'm not too sure his own father would vote for him at this point.....

Start a draft John McCain movement. I can’t help think he’s truly the people’s choice, but I’m very biased. I'm afraid it TIC
