Attack Ads

1.

• In general, I believe there should be a lot less attack ads if any. All they do is say something bad about the opponent. Attack ads don't say anything about why you are the man/woman for the job. Honestly, attack ads remind me of rumors spread in school. Grown men/woman should not be spreading rumors. Also, a lot of attack ads take something and expand the truth. That is my general opinion of attack ads.
• I don't think they should be, but I believe these attack adds are helpful to a candidates campaign. A lot of Americans are gullible enough to vote on someone just because of bad things the other guy did. I think that is completely wrong, but that is how it is. A good attack add  can make or break someones campaign.
• Yes, attack ads do have a place in today's political race. I personally do not believe that they should but attack ads are more popular than normal ads explaining why you should vote for that person. on YouTube, all I see are attack ads, for Obama, Romney, and even Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren.         They are annoying but they play a huge role in the elections.

• First I watched the Romney attack video and honestly, it made me feel like Romney was not the right man for the job. Then I watched the Obama attack video and it made me feel like Obama was not the right man for the job. Honestly, either video did not make me feel like the one who approved the video was the right man for the job. Watching both honestly made me think that either candidate would be the wrong choice.
• I think some of the stuff said was true while others was questionable. Like in the Romney approved video, all the statistics and number comparisons between Obama and Carter I believe because those are factual numbers so I have to believe that. Other things I find questionable is like when Romney is saying Obama is a bad president because He did do good things in office.
• Me, being fourteen, I keep myself from calling myself a democrat or a republican yet. I agree with things Romney says, as well as Obama. I can not say that I have had enough experience and knowledge of politics to say which party I believe is correct.
