Political Ads Still the Same
It’s a little disappointing, but I’m not all that surprised. The political ads over here in sunny Phoenix, Ariz., are pretty much the same as what we had in steamy New Orleans. Bad.
Maybe it’s the same everywhere. “(Insert name here) will lower taxes, protect your family, create jobs, fight against (insert opposing party here).”
Either politicians are so naïve as to believe that they, as an individual, can just make that happen, or they don’t want to share the truth with the people that elect them.
I long for the politician that creates real, honest political ads. Ones that talk about compromise and negotiation and the fact that, sometimes (and hopefully rarely) the elected one may have to sell out to get something accomplished.
Or just keep counting on people not really caring all that much about their politicians, since they seem to keep letting us down.

That would be nice. I did find myself wondering last night exactly how any President would be able to “finally guarantee equal pay for women”. Don’t get me wrong, this is not necessarily my issue… I just wondered how. The wisdom of the night came, however, from my 11 yo who wondered, “if this is the Democratic Convention, why are they spending so much time talking about John McCain?”
