Really?

Then today in Tucson, I see a sign with big bold letters stating "FIGHTING OBAMA."

Below that, it gives you the two candidate's names...Who happen to be running for the Arizona Corporation Commission.

"Fighting Obama?" From Phoenix?

SMH...how stupid must they think people are?
Because too many people don't investigate. They'll go by how the person comes across or what they say instead of how they voted.

Except it was a lie.

There were little signs off the freeway in my city in Georgia that read, 'let's take our city back!' That's all it said, along with a name, of course. The dude was running for city council, and who are we taking the city back from?

Regardless, it's a concrete idea. Obama offered nothing concrete, in fact, his entire campaign was as empty as the phrase "hope and change". And what few things he mentioned, it turned out he had no intention of them.

He said no nation building.

By 2003, we were building 2 nations.

So Bush offered a concrete idea, and proceeded to destroy it.

But that's better because the idea was concrete.

SMH...can't make this stuff up.

Actually, people are tired of higher taxes in those places mentioned, so there are folks coming onto the scene to try and do something about it. I don't think that's misleading at all. It's actually a welcome change.

What's with these misleading political advertisements?
Misleading political advertisements???? Say it isn't so.

What would really be shocking would be a political campaign based on honesty and truth.
