Someone aked me today if I thought Rebublicans and Democrats could/would/will ever live in harmony with out negative ads and mudslining?
As far as I knew t hey never have, but it's the degree of negativity and mudslinging that bothers me. It's getting worse all the time. They also blame each other for doing it when they both do it. The other thing is, we all know that alot of what is said are half truths(yes, someone voted against a certain bill that would help children, the elderly, or some other group of victims, but they don't tell you that there was something in the bill that didn't belong in it or there was a bill that was more favorable to them).They are counting on the fact that many people are just too busy to do the research that would reveal the truth. This is just another reason that the federal government shouldn't be so big. They should focus on what they are constitutionally empowered to do(Notional defense, interstate commerce, post offices, postal roads etc) and leave other matters to "the states respectively or to the people".
