Were you aware Greg Orman worships to an idol of Obama? A 4 foot wooden idol he lovingly hand-crafted.
ORMAN LOVES OBAMA AND HATES FREEDOM OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA ORMAN They're the same don't you see! You can barely tell the difference |

I couldn't vote for Orman based on the sound of his voice alone. These political ads make me feel like I'm at the dog track..."ohhhh, number 4 just took a shit! $100 on Santa's Little Helper."

I particularly like the ones that attack a candidate trying to get you to vote for their opponent without even naming the opponent or disclosing anything about their position on anything. Goes quite well with the array of infotainment channels filled with pre-digested soundbites that masquerade as news outlets. Don't worry about learning, thinking, understanding or coming up with your own ideas people - we know what's best for you! And make sure you vote straight ticket, the other side is bad!
All this polarization is by design. Bread and circuses to keep everyone from realizing we've been disenfranchised and that government now doesn't have any real interest in actually representing, much less benefiting, the people that it's supposed to serve. Left, right, center, we're all being scammed. |

It would be nice if I could go around banning things just because they annoy me, but the world doesn't work that way.

Political ads don't need to go away. Instead, they need a shift in strategy.
They could learn a thing or two from Carls Jr. or those original GoDaddy Commercials. Here's some tits. Here's some legs. Here's a hot chick slowly putting something in her mouth. Now vote for me!

Waste election funds how exactly? You mean the money that they get from donations? It's not like they're wasting tax payer funds for those commercials. If Joe Blow wants to donate money to a campaign and it gets spent on a campaign commercial....why should I ****ing care?

I was contemplating this just this morning, a dem and republican were going at it every single commercial break and all I could think was... "they're both right, who would vote for either of these assholes?"

Now that corporations are "people" our participation in the elective process is marginalized anyway.
