As long as the ban doesn't include my favorite "negative" ad of the season, which never fails to make me chuckle.

Three employees of some unnamed company - and apparently the only three people who work there - are standing around their office kvetching about how many jobs have been lost on the incumbent candidate's watch, and wondering aloud how long it will be before their own jobs are in jeopardy.

Meanwhile in the background, you can hear the phones on their desks ringing... and ringing... and ringing... and ringing... and none of them can be bothered to pick up a phone and answer it. Because they're all too busy standing around worrying about losing their jobs.



Hey, you know what might help you not lose your job? ACTUALLY DOING IT WHILE IT'S STILL THERE TO BE DONE, MORONS.

I consider myself moderate. I want the greatest possible change at all time. Because as a child I believe change is good.

That's hilarious!

My favorite around these parts was the 'Big Bad Debt' ad, complete with a butchered version of 'Big Bad John' playing in the background. It was awful.

Not that I am a hippie, but Metalheads and hippies aren't too far apart. In fact Metalheads (and Metal) pretty much originated from them.

Hippies, they are commies in disguise!
but seriously though, I am sick of anti war, anti imperialism, anti capitalism
don't those hippies know that the army are protecting there ungrateful asses?
And anyways, their parents were capitalist enough so that they have enough money to lead their anti capitalist lifestyle

I am a moderate moderate or would that make me an extreme moderate. How about an extremist moderate of the central fringe? I like that.

Now if only we had a political party for moderates...

I'm not a hippie, but I am a pacifist.

Of course before anyone comments on that, you should be aware that just cuz I'm a pacifist it don't mean I won't kick your a$$.

Good one.



Otherwise, I don't really hide the fact that my political views are fairly moderate when it comes to individual rights, and fairly radical (on the left side of things, that is) when it comes to macro-scale socioeconomics. But somehow that doesn't make me go rubbing cheap slogans and labels in people's faces all the time...

Seriously, have you ever thought about what any of those words actually mean?

I'm to the point that I'm not going to vote for anyone because each campaign ad I see contradicts the other. I live in a TV Viewing area that covers both Iowa AND Illinois. So I get to see campaign ads for both. and they are all ridiculous.
