I just saw 17 campaign ads in under 30 minutes

So I've been watching NBC news for about a half and hour and I literally just saw 17 different, yet all entirely retarded and full of fail, campaign ads.

American politics are a fucking joke. That stupid cunt Linda McMahon on my TV telling me to vote for her LOL. Then 10 other nobodies I've never fuckin heard of, telling me who not to vote for because according to some newpaper, he has "questionable character". And if I vote for the dumb prick they'll "Lower taxes, stop wasteful spending.. and change Washington". Ahahah jesus fucking christ, have these pieces of shit spewed this bullshit enough that they themselves actually believe it?

Every other fucking commercial on the radio is some ignorant douche telling me who to vote for. RANT. But seriously I can't be the only one pissed off by this.

It's offensive. How much they spend on those ads and bullshit campaigns. Spewing utter shit to people that still have trouble getting by each week. I hate this time of year. I'm reminded of how much is spent, and all I can think about is how all that money could be utilized. Especially as it starts to get colder here, and there's no viable options for a lot of people on the streets.
It stings.

I'm willing to bet that if they used all the money they spend on campaign ads in 3 months and distributed it to the masses, everyone in the US would have a good christmas season. (especially since there'd be no BS political ads!)

They drive me nuts, back in the day they used to run ads that actually stated their platforms, now most ads don't even mention the candidate's name, all they do is trash their competition for 30 seconds and add a little "paid for by friends of xxxx" at the end. Cryin' shame that alot of people will just eat that shit up instead of thinking for themselves or voting their conscience.

The ones here are really full of shit slinging because it's the former gov vs the gov currently in office. They both suck. There's even trash talking on levels of government I haven't even seen on TV before. It's almost over though.

The thing is, those ads are for only a small percentage of the voting public. Most people know from the beginning who they will vote for, and ads don't change their minds. It's just the few undecided mo mos left over that these politicians are fighting over, and since the undecided voter is, on average, only slightly more intelligent than a retarded chimpanzee, you have to see ads aimed at this demographic every 16 seconds until either the election is over, or you put a gun in your mouth.

This world is full of enough lies and deception as it is. The spike that comes with every election season makes it practically unbearable. I know exactly how you feel, and this shit pisses me of AT LEAST as much as you, probably more (because, being older, I've been putting up with it longer). Fuck this crap, and fuck the stupid minority that makes it all necessary.

Thanks to that "liberal" Supreme Court who recently ruled corporations can donate just like people, and therefore, basically fund their agendas even more than before.

We are peasants, pawns. Look at the stupid teabaggers fighting for the rich to keep them getting tax breaks. For what, so they can horde more money? We Americans must be the laughing stock of the hole world. Fighting against out own best interests.

Rome is falling. I'm not apathetic, however, quite the opposite. I'm scared shitless any of these crazy shit-head republicans will win in my state. Especially Baker - fuck nut. The polls are close. I hope people in the center and independents are equally as scared and turn out in mass numbers and surprise those arrogant righties and ignore their predictable scare tactics.
