• I think that attack ads are stupid because they shouldn’t worry about making other people or things look bad they should make themselves look good. I don’t want to see an ad that destroys other people or things just because i don't like their product doesn’t mean I will like their product.They waste their time showing us how bad other things are. I think all ads should be about is how good they are and I think most attack ads toward people just start rumors.
• I think that they are harmful because they could start rumors and get voted for just because they started false things about the other candidate. They over exaggerate the truth to make them seem terrible. Like if when Romney said the 47% they kept tearing that apart and saying what he might not have meant. But they are necessary at the same time because they do point out the weaknesses of others and we need to know those.
• I think that attack ads are necessary because not all of them are untrue and do let us know the flaws of the other candidate or product. But its to an extent because some get carried away and take things out of context. Like I will turn on the radio and hear an ad that says Scott Brown isn’t for women and voted no on bills for women. But then I will hear one that says he if for women and he does this and that for them and then I don’t know what to believe.

• It made me feel that Obama wasn't doing his job but I don’t know if I should believe because Mitt Romney didn’t approve it. But then the other made me feel better about Obama because he is trying to help college expenses. Obama did approve so it made me feel like that ad was more accurate than the bad one about Obama.
• I think that what some of each ad is saying but not the whole thing. I don’t know what to believe because some ads could be completely true while others could be all lies. So i don’t accept the ads because if I believed them all then I would dislike both candidates because it keeps going back and forth. Like there might be one ad that says that Obama care is bad and then list facts while there may be another that states why its so good because ads keep going back and forth.
• I don’t have many political views so I don’t know who I would go for. When I’m older and can vote then I would pay attention more and see what president agrees in the same things I would. But right now I don’t know if I am a republican or democrat so I don’t know if I would liek a president who would believe in my same beliefs.
