That is another thing I will add to my wish list of Term Limits and Age Limits..... seriously tightened limits on campaign spending. The amount of money being spent on elections is obscene. Not to mention most of the information in political ads is inaccurate (regardless of party). The spending on these ads is also something being used to sway the idiots in the country who are too lazy to do their own research on candidates so they vote based on the garage they hear and see in these ads.
Spending billions of dollars on these political campaigns is the definition of insanity. Maybe if they tightened the contribution and spending limits, candidates would be forced to do a better job with their campaigns and ads.

Judge,
You nailed it with your comments. I keep telling people here in CA that they should not pay attention to the headlines in the advertisements, especially with the propositions and that they should see who is paying for the ad. Look up the political action committee and see where the money is coming from. It always comes back to self interest and making more money.
