This is a note to everyone who is tired of the candidates using personal attacks rather than addressing the issues: get over it. It’s never going to change. We are at an age when the average American has no idea what is going on with the economic and political issues around them. Besides, a well-informed voter should be able to see past theses negative attacks and focus on the issues. Too many voters bitch and whine about how terrible this is, but then they go out and argue and blog demeaning the other candidate. You’re all a bunch of damn hypocrites if you ask me. If you so despise these negative ads, then why do you belittle and degrade the character of the other candidate with a differing view than your own? People preach tolerance and understanding unless an individual has a different view or belief than their own.
Now to say I agree with these attacks is incorrect, despite what my rant may insinuate. But I’m not going to run around, complaining to everyone how poorly our candidate’s campaign is being run. I honestly don’t care. I pay no attention to these ads. I usually turn the TV when one comes on, even if it is for my candidate. And if someone is swayed by a negative ad, then God help our country.
Also, for those who are upset about the candidates not directly addressing the issues, listen up: get over it. When was the last time a Presidential candidate actually addressed the issue at hand and took a firm stand on one side or the other? I’m not going to lie to you; I’m a John McCain supporter. And I do believe that Obama is all talk and lacking in experience. But neither candidate will address a problem and give a straight answer. It would appease half the country and the other half would be pissed off. If you are intelligent enough, you can see what the stance of a candidate will be by looking at their voting records and political position prior to running for President.
So for everyone who only gets upset and political for a couple months every four years, please…get over it!
