YES CAMPAIGN ADS SUCK!
But you know what? THEY WORK! The Bush Campaign has produced some of the finest political ads I have ever seen. (It is much easier to do when you have more money than God) This one, however, drives me crazy. AZ has been determined to be "in play", so that add has been on t.v. every other break for at least a week. I am sure it plays well to its audience, but everyone I know thinks it is "amateurish" (that may not be the best word to describe it.)
Both sides are going to water down the truth no matter how much I would like it to be different. I do like the fact that there are resources out there to help guide us to the truth. I do, however, think that the Bush Campaign has stretched the truth and twisted the facts to a much greater degree than the Kerry Campaign(so far). With a voting record as long as Kerry's, there is more than enough material to spin things the way the Bush Campaign would like us to see them.
