I was just reading PureEvil's blog and it said something about supporting a US representative. Do they have 108 different commercials for (at least) the 108 different people running for the House? In my State, they always have propaganda commercials for reps and senators. One guy will call the other guy an evil son of a she dog, then the other guy will say he killed an old lady. And when of them gets backed into a corner, the governor will defend his party's candidate, "Those commercials were spreading lies, he only shot that elderly woman because she held a needle, and we must stop terrorism at any cost."
- mudslinging, they call it.

Ye gads! Terrorism is everywhere I tell ye. That and commercials. Let's get rid of all old people too.
Mudslinging. Funny you should say that.

Safmoor, is there any thing you Do like about this country? You're so negative all the time. Why? It's great to have thoughts about and work toward things that will better the country.
But it's kinda rare to see a candidate buy commercial time to urge voters to vote for the other guy because his opponent is the better one. How would you propose they get their message across and state their records for the public to understand who they wish to vote for? Mudslinging? Yeah, it sure can be that way. Politics can be tough and dirty. People have hard-fought for convictions. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe in the future we will have nice tea parties and candidates will politely give each other equal say and will not in any way criticize their opponent. May I live so long!
In the meantime what would you suggest?

There are positive things about the country, but when I see negative things, I want everyone to know. I've seen so much mudslinging in the past two elections for reps and senators, that I thought it might be funny to make fun of it.

That's another thing I don't like. Police(or any opposing side on an issue) often have evidence that proves that they are wrong. And of course they never show it. What's even worse is when the public defender instantly believes that his client is guilty and tries to look like he's trying. Of course, rambling on the dink network isn't going to do much good, but I'm probably too young for politicians to even listen to me.
- I'm not saying criticism is bad, but this is more like attacks on someone's character and the other person isn't there to defend themselves like in a debate.

I sound negative all the time, but I couldn't really think of moving to a different country in the world, unless I lost everything including my family and friends. Then I would move to Canada or Ireland or Germany. But I don't see that happening and would rather try to make our country better by pointing out the things I believe are wrong. I am patriot goddang it!

Yeah; it's pretty bad when that sort of thing seeps into family and relationships, too.

*sigh* Do you think I could legally kill somebody with enough evidence to support my cause?
