Politics

I am admittedly quite unknowledgeable when it comes to politics in our country.  It has never really been something that I could get into and understand.  This does not mean that I don't care about our countries leaders but all the backstabbing, lies, and general nonsense when it comes to campaigning has never been something that has drawn my attention.

As probably 99% of you know, Tuesday was election day.  Obviously there were a lot of adds running on TV for candidates running for their prospective positions.  I just wanted to share the two campaigns that were running here in Louisiana.  I kid you not when I say these two commercials, or a variation very similar, took up half of the commercial airtime.  Please watch:

Now this kind of stuff is exactly why I don't get politics.  Neither one of these ads once said what they plan to do make this state and country a better place to live in.  They gave no stance on anything at all.  All it is is one trying to degrade the other.  Is this what the American people base their votes on?  Are we that dumb?  I honestly do not understand, please help.
