Two weeks to go before our elections will be over, with one exception. Has anyone else notice the election ads misconceptions? I counted, on one hand within a few pages, of ads with pictures. Knowing the majority of these folks, and recently seeing them, I know those pictures are antique. These folks are not even confident about their self images (which in my opinion is about as bad as Hollywood images, and portrayal to young girls) So the pictures lead me to think what else are they misleading me about. So I read on. In one ad I read how they have the support of their entire staff (ha). I saw two problems with that statement. One, her entire staff of 4 just added 3 new people, they are new and have not worked with her long. Two, who in their right mind would tell their boss, well no I do not support you! In another ad it encourages you to ask a candidate questions that he can not answer. Why? Because of a court order he can not answer, but of course the ad left that information out. Again I have to ask who keeps the politicians honest (yes I used politician and honest in same sentence) The answer I keep getting is voters do. So I pay a persons salary in hopes they are honest for four years? How much time do they take off? I do not know, its on the honor system. If there is no honesty in their ads, I would dare say they have no integrity, and hence would more than likely in four years need to be replaced. But one would hope that out of maybe two candidates one is more honest.
One of our choices had tax payers pick up her student loan bill, was that not our tax payer money? She was working at the time, and purchased a new vehicle soon after. Her campaign is on hard working for the public (another ha) Maybe she could work the next four years without pay, since we already paid off her loans for her.
