Mud Slinging Political Ads

[Lady's Human]

Politicians, charitable organizations and businesses you have prior contact with are not required to abide by the no call rules, they are exempt.

I agree with the sitcom comment. Sometimes when I see a really bad ad, I can't wait to see how the other party is going to retaliate.

We are getting hit with phone call after phone call. I never saw so many *unavailable* and *private* calls come up on my caller ID. Hubby mentioned to me tonight that these people can actually be sued. (He didn't even know about this thread and so I had to clue him in.) Here is the link:

Ugh, I hate the political ads.

My fiancee and I point out to each other "oh look, another political bashing post" and "so, why exactly should we vote for you again?" when they pop up.

Unfortunately, we are in an area where we get too many ads (Northern VA area, so we get MD, DC and VA, NOT FUN!).

Noone talks about what THEY can do for the area anymore.

Its all "my opponent does this this and this and O M G he sides with bush!"

I hate it.

The one thing I wish we could have on the ballots, is an extra choice.

That choice would be "I don't like ANY of the candidates". Instead of voting for the lesser of # evils, you get to choose that one. If the majority votes "none", then the whole shebang needs to start over again with new candidates.

Oh please, can it be Tuesday already so we can get this election over with already!
I am so sick of the political signs all over the lawns, the annoying phone messages left on my answering machine, the piles of political junk mail in my mailbox and even the annoying people knocking on my door on a Sunday afternoon telling me who to vote for!

LOL I am so glad I have Vonage. I have not received one call from them yet
