"Politics is ugly stuff, always remember that the campaign adds are only meant for stupid people or the people who don't want to put the work in figuring out the politicians backgrounds."
Well said! Gullible, stupid and lazy voters are one of the reasons we are in the mess we are in today. The candidates and folks writing the propositions count on the collective ignorance of the masses.
The same ad agencies who make you crave a Big Mac or get your kids hooked on sugar-packed breakfast cereals are plying their skills on behalf of the politicians this time of year. They are very good at what they do.
The only way we can fight back is to do the research and QUESTION EVERYTHING! Even then, well informed, intelligent people will often come to different conclusions or disagree on what is best.
I can live with that. Nobody gets it right all the time. We will probably get screwed anyway but let's not make it easy for them.
