The law requires a paper towel ad to be scrupulously honest, but allows political candidates to lie without reproach. What's wrong with this picture?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When people see political ads, they think someone's lying to them.
Political advertising ought to be stopped. It's the only really dishonest kind of advertising that's left. It's totally dishonest.
To be fair, lying is part and parcel of public life. Every politician has lied about something because they are owned by the special interest groups that finance their elections.
I see it all the time in politics. If a candidate gets caught in a lie, he quickly tries to change the subject by throwing more mud at his opponent. The mud keeps flying until some of the slanderous material sticks.
Politicians often lie.
I think when a campaign is dishonest in the ads they run about another candidate, it diminishes the campaign, it diminishes the candidate, and it diminishes the presidency.
Requiring valid, photographic identification is a common sense step to ensure voter integrity and sound elections.
Telling lies does not work in advertising.
While photographs may not lie, liars may photograph.
Political commercials encourage the deceptive, the destructive and the degrading.
