I abhor political ads for a few reasons. First the majority are negative and misrepresenting. They may address a truth but they fail to put it in context. Secondly I want to hear about the issues. Instead the trend is to attempt to sway (probably the uneducated) my vote by presenting the negative ads. Lastly, in my opinion, they show poor form. I will walk away from my favorite show to not listen to a political add. I much prefer the pamphlets, getting to the issues and making an informed opinion.
