Negative Campaigning

I'm really getting tired of the negative campaigning going on now in Hawaii. It's getting worse and worse. We're seeing a lot of it at dinner time. It's enough to give you indigestion!

When it's really nasty, the Republican or Democratic Party will take the heat for it. I guess they figure you won't blame their candidate for the nasty ad if the party takes credit for it. Wrong.

It seems to be standard practice to air ugly photos of the other candidate in black and white (usually), all the while denigrating them, and then ending with the other person in beautiful warm colors smiling at the camera and asking for our vote with uplifting music in the background. Do I really want to vote for someone who authorizes such vindictive ads?

I don't think so.
