[biplol]

I knowwwwwwwwwwww, they look so stupid saying all the bad things about the other candidates..
So, did you get a new top for the next wedding?

[SweetSunshine]

LOL I am thinking about it .. although I will be wearing the same pants. They are too comfy to give up! lol.. I had so many compliments on that top at the wedding .. it felt good! I'm glad ya'll approved too! lol.. I wonder what color to wear now?? Cause hubby will have to wear the same thing.. his stuff was more expensive than mine was lol. That top was only $8 lol.

BTW I am glad you agree with me about the elections lol grrrrrr

[SeptemberMorn]

I know what you mean!! Do any of them stop to think what's coming out of their mouth?? It proves to me that I have no business at the poll booth!

If one of them was smart, they would take a basic course in psychology and stop slamming the competition!

[(JD)]

I agree tryin.. grrrrr

Usually the politicians leave the ad work to some energetic, contemporary, mystical thinking wannabe who is helping run the campaign. While some review the ads first, most still go by the "expert's" concensus. We are left with the trash that results.

I can't watch regular channels due to the ads. I voted absentee ballot anyway

[Beautiful_Pain]

Totally agree!

[nothemama8]

these are the men who want to run our country, this is why it's in the shape it's in, they fight amonst themselves here sooooo of course we're going to have wars, get a real peace maker in a woman

[biplol]

Oh t2bm, I love the blue on you, maybe cause is my color, but you look gorgeous!
I know, most of my clothes are cheaper than my husbans, but what can you do, at least we have more variety!!!! lolol
I don't know what you are going to wear sister, but you better put another picture! lol!!

women are no better at running countries, we had margeret thatcher (shivers) and she started the falklands war in the 80's, shut down all the mining pits decimating vast local communities and industries, stole the free milk for school children, privatised the utilities, gas, water,electricity, and sold british rail (train network) to name just a few,

i am not saying that a man could have done any better but he sure has h ll couldnt have made it any worse, we, the brits, are still living under the thatcher legacy under changes implemented before she left office that are still in force today, grrr politics aint it a female dog

Our elections have been over for almost a year, or maybe more and the flyers and posters are still up!!! Go figure... third world country...

Warning: This is a joke

NOOOOOOO!!! It's so entertaining from this side of the border! Our politics are so boring compared to yours...

(Not that I agree with negative ad campaigning; it's just interesting to see how far some politicans are willing to go for power and control... and not just in the U.S., but worldwide as well).

What is disturbing, is how negative campaigning seems to be more acceptable with each new election, both here and abroad.

this day is over, all the negative campaigning bothers me. Why the candidates have to resort to mud-slinging, I'll never fathom. It makes me not want to vote sometimes.

Voting is how you effect change. People die in other countries for the right to do it. My pet peeve is not the negative ads (one learns to ignore them) but the people who whine and complain about the shape the city/state/country is in and didn't vote! It's called "participatory democracy" for a reason.

[Sarah116]

Always vote! You are lucky to have the right! If you are unsure or do not like the people running, vote for the cookie monster or someone you would never think of running. That would show them that they need better candidates! , and I always thought it would be funny if someone like hellokitty or Ask jeeves won!

[Boopers]

I totally agree! Don't they realize that all this mudslinging just makes them look bad?

I have been voting by absentee ballots for several years now and like it alot better than having to go to the polls!

Altered State, I don't get offended when people criticise our politics, it is a bit of a joke really... One of our old presidents died recently and the first thing I heard about it was an sms I got saying that Steve Irwin is excited because there is a big crocodile coming!!!! We share the same morbid sense of humour about our politics and stuff as the rest of the world.

I choose not to look at the scary side of it all, you know, when they are going to start to reposses everything like in Zimbabwe. I humour it, like most of us do to forget the past and the things that happened... I can tell you horror stories, but I won't. Like I said, it's better to see the positive side of things and laugh it off.

[JustAPixie]

The mods may want to delete that post... I feel bad about the Steve Irwin thing...
