    The thing that annoys me the most about these Campaigns is that they ridicule and patronize the other opponent and then say absolutely nothing about what they plan on doing if they get elected. I'm voting Libertarian I think.

    We should ban all political tv ads.

    I was actually pretty surprised when I first watched a political ad on TV here; I always had this notion of it to be pretty, how do I say, dishonorable. A price of Freedom of Speech, I guess.

    It's lame, though. If they want to waste commercial time they might as well make it good. But no... it has to be all the old negative crap. Why, I wonder, would any frickin' intelligent politician wants to broadcast his opponent's name further?

    Seems to me like politics to them is being "Not as bad as the other guy"

    Should be an easy election considering the Democrats have the same political ideals as the terrorists.

    Meh, every election is the most negative evar...

    We should ban all political tv ads.
    Nah, we should pull out all the stops- just require full disclosure on who's paying for it. Let people say whatever they want, just so we know who's saying it.

    The resemblance is uncanny, what with the Democrats pro-war, anti-abortion, brutally anti-gay and theocratic overtones.

    Reminds me of a Royal Canadian Air Farce parody of a Liberal Party advertisement.

    Stephen Harper wants to put a laser in space and carve his initials into Greenland. We are not making this up.
