Political campaigns

The attack ads are starting already, and within the last three days, I got six bloody surveys on my cell phone. (I haven't even counted how many times dad's answered the landline and hung up because it was a political survey or some robocaller) Shame that these annoying campaigns are non-profit and are therefore not limited by the "Do Not Call" registry.

Yeah I know these people don't have any other job to do out there...but if I start to get calls at 4 in the morning again (yes, again. -_-; )it's going to be very hard to not do something cruel and unusual like play Nyan Cat or Toybox's Superstar over the phone. -.-; don't like having to unplug all the phones in the house because we forget to plug them back in.

Just imagine what they could do with that campaign money instead of giving temporary jobs bugging the general populace.

I find most of the ads are "Look at this horrible thing my opponent said once, he is clearly the spawn of Satan. Here are some old people that agree with me."

The ad hominem (I believe that's what it's called) is getting much worse these days. It's amazing how a political campaign does all of this and promises all of this... then goes back and says they can't if they win. Obama is a definite example of that.

But yeah I've been getting calls in the middle of class for that too. Thank Arceus that I normally have it on silent.
