[quote name='camoor']I think it all stems from too much money in politics.
Take out the money and you won't be able to play these type of games as effectively. Advertising will need to get leaner, more focused and more targeted, politicians will have to go back to talking about the issues instead relying on slick multimillion dollar smear campaigns.
Republicans are interesting as a party, in that the closer you get to their base the stupider and more ignorant the members become. Dems are realizing this and killing the weed at the root.[/QUOTE]
Agree 100%. We need much stronger regulation of money that goes into campaigns, and lower caps.
There's no need for so much advertising. Have more debates, town halls etc. Force voters to watch, read the news etc. to be informed and not just vote on a bunch of ads full of inaccuracies etc.
