what about 1800?

bet you didn't think about that did you?

political parties have had wood for each other forever...





October 2010

Have this year's negative political ads really "taken dirty to a whole new level, as CNN's Anderson Cooper frets? Is a "return to civility...a relic of a bygone era," as President Barack Obama laments?

Er, not exactly.

If anonymous political speech, the other widely decried villain of this political season, helped found the United States, attack ads are as American as apple pie. If you fancy yourself a patriot or a history buff, you will most certainly approve this message, which is taken from statements made by, for, and against the nation's founders. For historical sources, go here. 

Approximately 1.45 minutes. Written and produced by Meredith Bragg. Voiced by Caleb Brown, Michael C. Moynihan, and Austin Bragg.

Check out "The Positives of Negative Campaigning," why "Attack Ads Are Good For You." and Reason's 2006 list of the "Top 10 Dirtiest Political Campaigns" in U.S. history.

You mean their budgets have shrunk to the point where they won't even be able to do tv or online advertising? 

I like big banners, but don't know if that's an effective way to reach a broad swath of the electorate in the 21st century.

It could just be campaign fatigue, but....it's just a weird sense. Could be totally off.

I guarantee a person will get elected who I dislike. About little more than half the people will be unhappy about this. We'll have some chaff and some partisan bickering. We'll muddle through. Eventually we'll get a 9th seat on the supreme court filled (October 15th, 2017 is my square for the pool). 4 years from now we'll have a similar set of arguments, lather rinse repeat. Some of us will do fine, others a little less so. The ones below the average line will say "I told you so" the others will shrug. The sun will rise, the tide will come in and the tide will go out. 

And the cubs still won't win the series.

well people understand that in their personal lives using (and/or the initiation of) force and violence is not only immoral and unethical, it cannot and will not solve any problems, that in fact it will make things worse

the conflict is that they've been conditioned to think that it is not only necessary, but moral and ethical to do so in the public sphere

different rules for the rulers

special interest groups want to wield that force (or the threat of force) to impose their will on others

a blatant human rights violation

Well said.

Our leaders need to do first by example. If our leaders use violence to get their ways it sets a precedent in other deranged minds.
