As funny as the above Ads are....there is a halo of truth to some of it. I have pondered the limited mentality of my fellow Americans on more than a few occasions, and generally ended up frustrated and dissapointed. The beauty of our democratic nation has always been the power placed in the hands of ordinary people through representation, but what happens when the population becomes too lazy to even attempt to understand the world around them.
We, as a people, have been responsible for some relatively ignorant descisions in the recent past, and this is regrettable but expected. The problem I see is a failure to learn from these mistakes and correct our system of government. But how can the majority correct mistakes that they are totally unaware of. The negative Ads are just an example of failed politics in action, as it takes away from true education of the masses, and focus is placed on the past, virtually ignoring the possibilities of the future.
It would be refreshing and uplifting to see these guys constructively talk about plans for making our lives better, rather than making an opponents life worse.
