Comments on: 5 More Nasty Campaigns http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2006/10/23/5-more-nasty-campaigns/ Your daily source for tech culture, internet phenomena, politics, interviews and entertainment Sat, 5 Jul 2008 17:30:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: 2eagles http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2006/10/23/5-more-nasty-campaigns/#comment-4051 2eagles Sun, 14 Jan 2007 19:58:11 +0000 http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/?p=41#comment-4051 Last November California had an election for Governor besides other things. One of the candidates was into dirty filthy campaigning and the other had a few nasty ads to counter act some of the attacks of his opponent. As a died in the wool Democrat I rarely vote for a Republican but in the afore mentioned election I voted Republican (Arnold), not because I am gaga over a movie star governor, or because I believe he has done an especially better job than his predecessor but I did not like the attack ads his opponent State Treasurer Phil Angeledes ran. Angeledes did the same sort of stuff on his primary opponent, who I believe could have beaten Schwarzenegger in the general election, and eked out a win. I have decided unless the opponent is really a turkey I will not vote for anyone who piles on the attack ads. I want them to tell me what they are all about not their opponent. Let me decide who is best for me. Give me issues and facts about yourself not trash talk the other guy. I am sick of sleezy, nasty, attack ads. I hope enough other people will look past those ads and do a little research into the truth. Don't be fooled by the same thing over and over. That is how guys like Hitler got into office, by repeating what people want to hear over and over and over and over again whether true or not.

You are mistaken. That's the nasty part. Besides no one outlaws Stem cell research .It should be done by private companies. After all they will make Billions from it,we won't get it for free even if we pay for it. why should taxpayers support corporations?

Since when is being held responsible for your voting record "nasty"?

Does a true calling for accountability on one's vote count as "nasty?" I’m sorry, but #4 doesn’t seem “nasty” to me, just particularly effective.

It's all minor stuff. Reichert's throwing great big stones at glass houses, to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars he gave Big Oil a while back.. Can't wait to see that glass shatter.. It is entertaining.. Good stuff.. ;-)
