money and politics..

I think the amount of money put into advertising is pretty disgusting. Obnoxious amounts of money are being raised and spent on things like commercials and phone bills. I do think the public needs to know what their candidates stand for but the way the campaigns spend the money is on pointless ads that just bash their running mates. I think there should be limits or the candidates should put some of the money towards actually doing what they say they plan on doing. I think that putting a limit on the amount of money one campaign can get is a good thing, then the voters wont get as distracted or swayed because one guy had more rich friends to give him money so he could spend thousands of dollars on a flashy commercial. By limiting the amount of money they can get the candidates can get to the point and tell us what they can actually do for our country.

I agree because I feel that all the money going into politics certainly gives it a sketchy appearance.

I agree, way too much money is being put into these kinds of things.
