Election ads, email, phonecalls

Then there wouldn't be anyone to vote for. LOL! I did find out that voting will make the phone calls go away. The only thing we can do about the tv commercials is to turn it off, put it on mute, or change the channel. Just a few more days & it'll be over, for 2 years at least.

I look to see who's calling, if it's a zip code I don't know or an unknown number, I pick up and then hang up. I don't want those calls on my answering machine.

I heard on the news the other night that it could be months - January before we have all the final results for this election....especially the close ones.

I plan to vote for the one that had the least obnoxious ads on TV. Not an easy task.

About the time the candidate calls end, the calls start wanting end of the year donations since they can be deducted on income tax returns.

So sick of it! I'm not getting many robocalls, yet anyway. But every day I get a whole handful of those stupid flyer things. What a freaking waste!!

Are there people who are so stupid that they get those flyers and say 'ooh, this is purdy - I'll vote for this person'. Never mind. I probably don't want to know the answer to that.

The tv ads are just as ridiculous. I've watched numerous tv ads for candidates and every single one, without fail, just goes on and on and on about what is bad about the other person. Ooh, that other candidate is so horrible and so evil. I've not seen a single ad, or even part of an ad, where the candidate tells us what it is about him/her that is why one should vote for him/her.

OMG....yes...I totally agree....although one of the cadidates here has his mother-in-law in an ad telling us what a good son-in-law he is.

They basically tell us they're the lessor of two evils so we would be better off electing them.

And the closer we get to Nov 4th the more outlandish the ads become.
