Enough Already

Tuesday night can't come soon enough. I have been subjected to enough political advertising this election season that if I never see another campaign ad it won't be soon enough.

The "campaign ads" have been nothing but half truths, outright lies and political attacks. I really don't recall any race in which both major party candidates have refrained from attacking each other. One of the most annoying things about this garbage is apparently these idiots running for office think we believe their crap. In a five minute span this afternoon, 10 political ads for several candidates were broadcast on a local TV station. Each of the 10 ads was deceptive, misleading and only half true. Come on already politicians, do you really expect us to vote for you after you insult our intelligence? But, the problem is in many of the contested races both the Democratic and Republican candidates are equally arrogant in their treatment of the voters and continue to use their 30 second propaganda pieces to slander their opponent.

I have decided to just not vote for either the Democrat or Republican when they act like idiots while they are courting my vote. Just think how they will treat me after one of them gets elected. So, if there is a Tea Party candidate or third party candidate I will vote for them.

Maybe if the Democrats and Republicans grew up and acted like adults the Tea Party wouldn't be growing so rapidly and this country would be in a lot better shape.
