Won't Life Be So Much Finer After Tomorrow
Tired. I am so tired of all this election mess. I'm so tired. And, it has been going on for two years. That is much of what passes for TV and radio commercials today here in Illinois. And, there are more signs by the roads than I ever saw. Talk about your sign clutter.
Much money has been spent by both Democrats and Republicans.
If we are to believe these commercials, pretty much everybody running for office should be arrested immediately and thrown into jail. We have reached a new low in mudslinging. To hell with what a candidate believes, let's slam something their opponent did.
Democrats are saying their opponents have Trump connections and Republicans are tying Democrats to the much-hated Illinois Speaker of the House, Michael Madigan.
We have a major contest for Illinois governor going on. Both men are extremely rich. Bruce rauner, current governor is very anti-Union which we don't like. J.B. Pritzer is Madigan's man. Picking the lesser of the two evils, I'd have to say we'll vote for Brauner.
That Madigan Is Bad Medicine. --RoadDog

Come On, Enough's Enough!!
And, I'm afraid we're just getting started. Read an article recently in the Chicago Tribune about Norfolk, Virgina, which is getting swamped with political ads from Obama and Romney. While I was in North Carolina earlier this month, they were getting swamped as well.
If these political ads concentrated on what the candidate wanted to do, that would be one thing, but all these are amount to personal attacks. The way I'm viewing them, even if they are only remotely true, is that the two men running for the top position in the country should probably best be considered as candidates for long jail terms.
I don't know what their "advisors" are saying to them, but, at this point I will probably have to vote for which ever one offends me the least, meaning, whoever has the fewest attack ads. Even better, perhaps a viable Third Party can come together and give us an actual choice.
We are just now getting some of the negative ads here in Illinois. No doubt, we've been spared till now because Illinois is not considered a swing state as the Land of Lincoln, once a Republican bastion (well, weren't the Southern states once "The Yellow Dog Democrats?), is expected to go for Obama.
It Is Going to be a Long Haul to November. --RoadDog
