I have. I was going to vote for a guy for senate until I saw his television ad. I thought: he’s an [bleep]! I voted against him. Turns out he won, and I was right…he’s an [bleep]!

Ads mean dick. A candidate's history is all we can really go on, and even then it's likely that they'll be courted and compromised when they reach a certain level.

The targets of political ads are the “undecided” voters. 35 to 40 percent usually vote republican and 35 to 40 percent usually vote for the democrat candidate. The saddest single aspect of our political process is the dismal voter turnout.

I have only put out a political sign on my lawn once in my life. Ron Paul in 2008. Everything that’s happened since then has proven him right. It pissed me off to no end when those smug Republicans laughed and made fun of him in the primaries. The same Republicans that Trump curb stomped later on.

Ads work because the average voter is apathetic at best. Name recognition gets votes, if you never heard of one candidate, and the others name you know, just might have more influence, on the pick! Many and I say many people, vote without knowing anything about their canidate! Between vote manipulation, and stupid uninformed voters, you get FJB and the socialist [bleep]! It's a shame but adds work!
