My Response to the Attack Ads

My Response to the Attack ad Article:

1. In my opinion attack ads can be useful in gaining ahead in a election but they can also backfire as well. When the ads are true they can really be powerful they make people question their beliefs about a person and even maybe vote for the other person.I personally think attack ads are a waste of money but in  race like this where both Barrack Obama and Mitt Romney are so close there is a lot of people they need to convince to vote, and attack ads can be a great way to do that. Some of the ads though that are based completely on lies are pathetic like in the article when they talked about how the Obama SuperPACs came up with the attack ad pretty much blaming Mitt Romney for someones death was not just horrible but wrong since the man in the video was fired years before his wife got cancer.

2. The attack ads are very hurtful towards the candidates because its propaganda that people believe they hear about all the horrible things it says about each people and most people who have no way to prove it wrong buys the lies it tells. Most people already have their mind set on who they want to vote for though and others know that it is just lies and don't fall for it so most of the time it doesn't really hurt their campaign.

3. Yes. they do have a place in today's political race because This election could change america in a huge way. our economy isnt doing well and both candidates have different opinions and ways of going about solving it so in this situation they have a place because even though they are wrong and sometimes complete lies it could help a few people change their minds in the next upcoming week.
