Annoying advertising campaign

God am i getting sick and tired of listening to these bashing ad's on TV i hate Elections :banghead I am glad i do not vote for this <snip>.It get's down to it that we are the one's that pay for this crap that we see and here and after so long it just another annoying advertising.They sit there and waste are money on this stupid <snip>.


It is a Good waste of tax payer money i tell yeah.:cry:cryMoney i will never get back.

 

:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap

 

I like this post 1000%!! I vote for Laura to be President! :-D


edit: this reminds me of two young people (17-18 maybe) I saw walking down the street talking about the election. The girl says "you don't find out who wins until January" umm..... wrong. wow, way to be misinformed and she isn't the only person I heard speak nonsense. It frightens me that these are our future voters.

 

Yep, if you don't vote, you don't contribute to the so.called 'Democratic Process'. So as a non-participant, which is your choice of course, you forfeit any say in the aforesaid process, including election campaigning.
Yeah Laura, the stupidity and ignorance, (not aimed at anyone specifically, before anyone starts), never fails to appall me. Even worse down-under, your Democratic right to choose to vote doesn't even exist. Voting is compulsory and you get fined if you don't. Such is the apathy of this country, that hardly anyone wold bother if they weren't forced to.rolleyes
Of course, we also have a P.M. that no one elected and no one wants, not even her own party - go figure.rolleyes

 

Of course the truth is, we might not find out until January considering the sheer number of people without power in the east coast states. Not to mention it hearkens back to the debacle in 2000 with the vote counting issues.

Personally, I agree. The ads are frustrating and annoying. They all seem to be targetted at the 'undecided' voter, but we as a nation seem to polarize almost immediately. I've never met anyone who's been swayed one way or the other by an advertisement. Perhaps because the sheer number makes you think they're lying, and trying to make you believe by sheer reptitiveness. As if the act of repeating it over, and over, and over again will not only make you believe it, but also make it true.

Plus the music is annoying.

 

I have been completely ignoring the ads since they started last spring. Neither candidate is the antichrist. Neither candidate has the best interests of *all* Americans in mind. Both candidates will screw up if elected, and both candidates will fail to make good on any campaign promises they might make.

The thing most people don't seem to realize is that there are more than two candidates in pretty much every section of every ballot. I am sick to death of hearing people say they are voting for someone because he/she is the lesser of two evils. I am equally sick of hearing people say that voting for a third party candidate is "throwing away" their vote. It is not. A vote cast counts. Period. If more people would consider voting on the "throwaway" candidates, perhaps there would be better choices than those put forward by the two ruling parties. It's a thought.

Regardless of what side you fall on, regardless of how you feel on any given issue, vote. Please. This country is on the verge of something, and it's hard to tell if it's a good something or a bad something. History will tell us, and by then it will be too late. But vote. Vote as if your life depends on it. It might.

 

Doesn't really matter. The president isn't elected via the popular vote, but instead by the Electoral College. Might be more efficient to predict the outcome via the rodent in Pennsylvania.

And for the lesser elections it doesn't matter because they're all corrupt anyway.

 

What's actually scary is the fact that the Romney family is directly invested in companies that own voting machines in at least five states, including Ohio. What's even scarier is that hackers (well, legally employed "security experts") at the Argonne National Laboratory proved they can hack a voting machine, and steal votes, with $30 worth of equipment from Radio Shack, time, and some ingenuity.

Since the introduction of e-voting machines I have had serious doubts as to the accuracy, and validity of election results in this country. The swing for Bush in Ohio in 2008 was a prime example. Exit polls had him losing Ohio by a hefty margin, but he somehow won the state after the servers were swapped to Nashville, but there was no evidence of a failover. At all. Why was it that people were running around Ohio swapping hard drives in voting machines in the days after the election? It's just very bothersome to know what I can do, and I know there are people far more knowledgeable than me.

 

Vote how you wish. But, in my opinion, you are throwing your vote away. It will be Obama or Romney. Well, Roseanne Barr has a good chance... :-D:-D

But, I agree, go vote. I voted a while back, love the early voting.

 

The funny thing is, people assume I am voting third party. Sometimes I do. In this particular Presidential election, however, I am not. That does not mean it's a vote thrown away...the only vote thrown away is the vote not cast at all. Just because your candidate has no chance of winning does not mean you are wasting your vote by supporting them. If enough people do that, then maybe the two major parties will get the hint that we are not as enamored of them as they'd like to think.

I voted before I had my surgery via absentee ballot. I figured not only was it going to be entirely too hard to get there physically, I probably shouldn't do it on narcotic pain meds. LOL

On the other hand, that would still make me more intelligent than a frighteningly large number of rabidly incoherent people who are planning to vote... rolleyes

:-D:-D:-D

To clarify, laughing with you...

 

See TV remote, See TV Mute button, Use mute button, Go do something
else for a couple of minutes, stop sniveling.

 

Is this the FIRST 2016 ad? :wave

 

You still have time for a write in

 

That is what i do most of the time.

But the thing is if i mute or change the channel i see the same Ad on a different station.

Same thing on the radio the play the same song on two different station's.



These rants are fun they wake every body up got to have one every now and then.

 

tis vastly better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

 

Um, technically, she's correct if you follow the actual law of the electoral system.

I somehow doubt they were referring to the Electoral College.:-D

It is funny, but also scary some of the 'man on the street' interviews. On one, they switched Romney and Obama's platforms, and people liked Obama because he was pro life.. rolleyes

 

Fred - actually it could be possible - understand your point though. My son, senior in high school, is taking US Government class and had a project about the presidential election - collecting news articles and write a brief summary on each article. High school classes like this and others could very well be having discussions on the election and just may be fresh on their minds while walking down the street.

 

I vote for Laura to be President!:-D (in 2016)

 

Now she has two votes!! We should start on her campaign now :-D

 

By the way she rules these forums, she'd do pretty good as Prez.

 

That is why I said 'I doubt'. That is great your kids are getting a good education. Around here, I see a lot of high school or college aged people that can't make change for a dollar without the magic counting machine in front of them. :-D

 

I think you'd like it over here Goldenskull,they're only allowed two or three TV ads per year in the UK even pre election.

Rather than spend money on loud rhetorical TV ads our politicians like to spend donations on themselves:-D

Just don't take it too far?:-D

 

As long as you do what I tell you to do, err, I mean, as long as you do what's right for the constituents :innocent

:-D

 

Dyamond for VP !!!

 

...and I'll drink the V.S.O.P....It's a tough job but somebody has got to do it!
roflmao

 

I didn't even think of that! but now that you mention it.......




:-D
