Default Political Ads

I would be hard pressed to believe anyone else is experiencing "Political Ad Hell" like we are in Tennessee!
Our guys are off the chain and way past obnoxious... literally every. other. ad. on tv are bashfests.
No wonder there's so much hate in the world... we can't even get along in our own space.

I can pretty much tell the political views on this board.... but I'm not even talking about which side your on.
Personally, I find both sides of the aisle to be filled with knuckleheads!

Dear God... please let Tuesday come and go ASAP....

it, but I live in what is (sickly) called the "Buckle of the Bible Belt", aka Oklahoma.

The more annoying these ads have become, the less and less likely-hood I will even be voting Nov.7th (The older I get, the more I believe my vote doesnt mean a MF-ing thing in the large scheme of things)

Come Wednesday morning we'll hear even more BS as the winners prance around like strutting peacocks with their chests stuck out like a chin belonging to Jay Leno & how they will change the US for the better (They wont).

The losers will (Once again) whine/cry that they were cheated (ie-The ballots werent correctly filled out by voters) and contest their loss (Even if they lost by 50,000,000 votes - The 11th Commandment of the Bible should have been "Thou shalt not cry or whine like a spoilt bitch when ye suffer a defeat")

God I hate November (Voting BS has worsen this month - Please, Don't get me started on Thanksgiving!)

there's no ads period on the local channels other than those political ads.

Sick of hearing about "Freedom", "Faith" & "Family"...I have a word for 'em here in Oklahoma that has the letter "F" in it, wanna guess which one?

If elected, my opponent will:

Raise taxes, abort your unborn children, and give the tax money to terrorists, who will then use that money to strap bombs onto aborted fetuses and throw them at American soldiers.

A vote for SortaSavageLike is a vote for FREEDOM!

I watch hardly any television, so I haven't really noticed how bad the ads are, but we keep getting political PHONE CALLS. Night and day the bastards keep calling and half the time it's just a recording. Last night we got one from Clint Eastwood urging us to vote for his good friend whoeverthe****itwas. Like I give a flying crap who Clint wants us to vote for!

Not that it matters anyway, 90% of the calls have come too late, my family votes absentee and our ballots were cast awhile ago.

I get 4 or 5 messages on my answering machine every day now too. Most all of them are annoying Republicans. The funniest was a recording from Pat Boone! Pat Boone

Ugh. Political ads are bad here too - and in New Mexico. I hate them - but at the same time they're cracking me up. I enjoy how the opposing side always manages to find the ugliest most unflattering picture of their opponent

I don't have a home phone and I'm thanking my lucky stars for that right about now. Just a couple more days and the ads stop...I can't wait!
