The Truth about political campaigns

What they want you to think: Political campaigns are the best way for politicians to tell them how they will improve the political system.  They for the most part are clean and decisive measures.

The Truth: You're kidding right.  I've been watching the Kerry-Bush campaign adds since they started (well actually I had no choice, they bombarded the TV market).  I didn't see anything that proved one over the other.  All I saw is mudslinging.  "Bush sucks because he went AWOL during his military term." "Kerry was an anti-war supporter during Vietnam."  I really don't give a damn about their war records, I care about what they are going to do to fix the problems TODAY! Even now, with John Kerry picking John Edwards for his potential VP pick, The Bush-Cheney camp decided to attack Edwards as inexperienced.  All I want is the straight dope on who can provide a better team to fix the problems.  I don't see why politics has to resort to mudslinging.  If anything else it makes the politician look like a whiner, that's real professional isn't it.

Final Summation: Political Campaigns aren't the decisive measure.  They've been degraded to watching grown men piss and moan about the other person, not why they are the best candidate.
