This is stupid. Let them spend how ever much they choose, they can't swing my vote. I'm totally against any limits on companies that use this practice. Even though I am currently part of a campaign that is being negatively affected by these ads, I'm still completely for them; mainly because I hate who I'm currently working for, but I digress.

@GalwayRose1 You think the Republicans are going to do anything different? You're disillusioned. Out of the public eye they're all buddies and on the same team.

Here's an idea that would eliminate the need for campaign finance reform and term limits: vote for anybody but red or blue. Vote for anybody but the incumbent.

There's an obvious "K.I.S.S." solution:

Each voter, being bombarded with this barrage of messages can fairly well discern which side of the "discussion" is predominantly positive and constructive, and which side is predominantly negative and divisive. With just a few quiet moments of sober reflection, a wise voter can transpose his or her value judgments onto the ballot they're given. The big problem is getting each voter to regard the situation in this manner.

Election campaign reform...who needs it. The supreme court turned it into a spending free-for-all and that's what democracy and capitalism is all about. Let the buying of our legislators and politicos continue. It's good for the economy right?
