Politics

I’ve had it. Enough with the negative ads, all of you politicians. Please give the people who have a right to vote credit for at least a few brain cells. We want to hire the person who knows what s/he wants to do, not what his/her jerk opponent did wrong.

We voters are actually looking at the future and not the past, and the futures of our children and grandchildren.

I participated in a debate today on a somewhat liberal forum where Romney-ites were criticizing potential Obama voters as on the dole, unable to spell or craft a sentence, plus the Romney-ites all seem to have a penchant for a White president. Much mud was slung about skin color, birth certificates, spelling and grammar, and Obama supporters all being welfare recipients.

For me, politics is about issues. I spent many years crafting issues and white papers and thought that was what it was all about. I was wrong and left politics for that reason.

It’s gotten worse over the past decades. Now it’s just slinging mud and seeing what sticks. You smoked pot when you were 19? Ha, gotcha. Daddy got you out of the draft?

STOP! I’m more for publicly funded elections than ever, at least for President. There should be a maximum to be spent and the candidate should not be allowed to go over that limit with personal contributions.

In a swing state, we are bombarded with so many ads we use Netflix and Amazon Prime at night just so we don’t have to see them. Watch your money be flushed down the drain, candidates.

Yes, I am registered, and after much research I do now know where my polling place is and where I can vote early. Stop the negative ads, people. Dee
