FED UP WITH TRASH TALKING POLITICIANS

64

By carlmaroni

As the presidential elections are rapidly approaching, the political ads are getting worse with the mudslinging. To rap up the statements of the politicians are saying is, “ Vote for me because the other guy is a loser.”

To be completely honest with you, I am fed up with the advertisements. These men and women will spend millions of dollars trashing others reputation. Who is benefiting? Nobody because the people in that part of the country will not go out and vote because they don’t see the benefit in voting.

The way I see it is the person doing the mudslinging as the loser. We know that people are perfect, so why trash others; it doesn’t help any ones campaign. It makes everyone look like children who can’t get along.

We need politicians that don’t care about trashing the other candidate, but just worry about the issue at hand. Our country is in trouble in so many different ways, people don’t care who’s lied about their past, or even paid their taxes.

After the elections are over, and we know the results of the elections, all of the politicians act like no mudslinging has happened. It sounds like the politicians are bipolar with bashing the other politicians, and then thanking them for the running against them.

In conclusion to this article, I’m fed up with the trashing of other candidates. We need politicians that will focus on the issues at hand instead of focusing on trashing others. Regardless of the trashing of the politicians, we need to look at the issues, and make a decision based off of them.

I agree too - but - negative ads change behavior. They work. Only we can change that. Just like the way we wail against all the money spent on campaigns, but unfortunately, nine times out of ten the candidate who spends the most wins. Only we voters can change that. Good topic!
