I don't know about y'all but I get so sick of these stupid political ads every election cycle. The typical one goes something like this -
My opponent Jan Doe loves to let her dog poop in others people's yard causing the homeowner distress in having to remove the poop. Well if you elect me, I will make sure no dog poops in anyone's yard, especially yours. I'm Jack Crap and I approved this message - You will note he never says just HOW he would keep the dog from pooping in your yard.
Another tactic is using the President whom is generally unpopular in a red state such as ours. Hi my name is John Q. Public and I'm running for county spider control commissioner, if you elect me I will make sure Obama's policies are stopped dead in their tracks. I will stand up for you! - Now I ask myself what the hell does Barack Obama have anything to do with a local election for county spider control commissioner?
My conclusion to this is they think the majority of people are just stupid, dumb, unintelligent, and ignorant to simply vote for a candidate because they use buzz words like Obama or tactics like I'll do better than her but never explaining how.
The irony is there's a campaign team or operatives for the candidate that have done research and determined in their opinion that a lot of people are in fact stupid, dumb, unintelligent, and ignorant. Some people are fond of saying elections have consequences - yes they do.
