Response to Attack Ads

Attack Ads
1.
A.I have two different views on Attack Ads, I think they can both be helpful to a presidents campaign but can also have a bad impact on the campaign. For example an attack ad can be helpful to a president because it portrays their competitor as a bad person,leader and shows reasons why they themselves is right for the job not their competitor. By painting in image in the viewers watching that this competitor is rather an antagonist then a person who is truly fighting for the people persuades them to want to vote for one competitor over the other. But on the other hand most of the information in the ads is false and can be proven so by their competitor making the person who published the ad look like the so called "bad guy" because they were using information with false facts. Which can set them farther back in the competition then forward.

B.I think attack ads can be both harmful and necessary to their campaigns. I think they can be harmful because they can make themselves look bad or sometimes even worse then the ad does to the candidate because the ad is implying false information to the world about the other candidate. It can offend people all over the country because of some of the accusations made about the candidate. Attack ads can also be necessary to ones campaign because without them each candidate would not have the chance to pull above the other or show why the other candidate is not the right person for the job. Without Attack ads the election would be equal because no one would ever think bad about the other candidate. Therefore I believe Attack ads are needed in an election.

C.I believe that attack ads have a solid place in political campaigns everywhere during every election. Political campaigns need attack ads for the campaign to progress and to help people all over the wprld form their own opinions on which candidate they truly believe will make the right choices for their country and for the rights of the people everywhere. The attack ads make the competition more interesting all over the world and make the people really come alive and to become excited to vote and use their voice to elect the right candidate. Therefore without attack ads people would never be able to form their own opinions and would not care about politics making it almost impossible to have an election without them which is why I believe all political campaigns need to have attack ads.

A.The first video made me feel like Mitt Romney was not a good candidate for becoming the president because....

• He eliminated tax deduction
• Cut college aid for 10 million students

By the attack ad having these comments it made me think that he is making it much harder for kids everywhere to have an education because he is making it much harder for the parents and students to pay. It made Mitt Romney look like he was making a lot of things worse for our country and that he did not no what he was doing. The video however made Obama look like the much better candidate because it pointed out the facts about what he has done for our country. For example he..

• Eliminated bank middlemen and used the savings to double college grants

This made me feel that President Obama was helping out our country and making life much easier for people all over the world and helping lives everywhere become better because people could afford their education. The second video made me feel like President Obama was the antagonists because he was calling Americans "Lazy" and saying "we had lost our ambition". The video makes it seem as if  by comparing two democratic presidents that they are all the same and use excuses to cover their actions instead of acting themselves against what is right. It made me feel like the Republicans could change things around and make them much better for Americans all over the world instead of making us fall deeper into the hole we have dug for ourselves.

B. I do not accept that everything that is being said is true because a lot of the attack ads are just replaying some of the candidates speeches over and over again. This makes me question the video of implying fake information because by replaying the same video they are just highlighting parts of the speech and sort of twisting the video around to make the other candidate look bad and themselves look better.

C. Yes I do believe the candidate that shares my political beliefs is true because it is what I belief the country should stand for. By having a candidate that shares my political beliefs would automatically make them a picture in mind of the right guy for president because I believe what they are saying and I feel as if I can trust them making it easier for me to form my opinion and my vote on the candidate I would choose for president.
